My Legnum is impracticably low - exhaust hits speed bumps; a too steep a slope threatens to snag the front body kit! She is a 1997 VR4 S and has Biltstein shocks the springs possibly have been cut - not something I have done! She fels like she is riding on the bump stops on the back.

Think she needs to come up 1 to 1.5 inches. What would be the best and most effective solutions - standard springs? Tiens? - but still wanting to keep her looks - hope someone can advise.

I have been very pleased with my Tein Super Wagon coilovers. The best bit is that the ride height and dampening is fully adjustable /yes

I use TEIN's GT Wagons that have more adjstment than Super Wagons. For winter driving though I've added 3cm (1.2 inch) fitments at upper strut mounts. It let me retain the ride characteristics (spring tension and damping settings) while consideraly rising vehicle. Taking into consideration that GT Wagons initially are some 35mm lower than stock that setup brought me back to stock height.

For the summer I plan to retain those fitments in place and lower vehicle by means of TEINs height adjustment.
