vr4 springs and shocks

[carlos-1975]

will vr4 springs and shocks fit a v6?

[psbarham]

yup, although they are a bit overdamped, but not by much

[carlos-1975]

cheers for that

it'll also raise it as vr4 springs are designed for extra weight.

if you go through caps/asa you will see misti used different springs/combos for each variation

my 25st (v6 4wd) does not use the same springs as my VR4,

and with the vr4 springs in the 25st it sits at least 1 inch higher.

[ianturbo]

are the shocks the same /dunce (front )

they should fit and work ok,

but mitsi still currently have at least 2 different part numbers for front damper on the ec5w chassis. (there was alot more but they have been superseded by the remaining two)

[ianturbo]

so 2001 v6 galant would fit and work ok then ? :uhoh:

yes, to the above. (but this depends on what springs it came with, some people have legnums that are way higher than the norm)

you can use legnum/galant dampers (turbo or not) all round, it will be fine,

its mostly the springs that change/matter, you cannot use saloon springs in an estate the arse end will drag (way to soft)

but you can change the between N/A and turbo, as long as its the same (eg. estate for estate springs) just the ride height will vary
