I am looking at buying a Legnum that is wearing adjustable coilovers, with red locking rings. Anyone know what they are? I tried searching for purple coil overs and got lots of threads that told me nothing useful!

Hi Nick, can confirm they are most likely Cusco Vacanza coilovers. I can take a picture of the ones I pulled from a Legnum the other day if that helps. The ones I have are not damper adjustable though and have dark plum coloured height adjusting rings. Hope that info helps a little.

Well the ones I've taken out have gold hats, black tube body with 'Vacanza' and a model number/code embossed into the lower tube body, though nowhere on them does it say 'Cusco'.

I see they have assister springs Nick.. That must narrow it down a bit ? The collars might not be original ?

It's the right colours, for sure! But the assister springs are at the top on your photos, but at the bottom on mine....
Did Tanabe do any other ones for the VR4?
doesnt matter the spring can be swaped around, my cuscos have them on the bottom, and my tanabes dont have any at all

Personal preference on where the assister spring go's /yes
I had Tanabe Sustec Pro's on the Silver VR4.. And if i could get the exact same 1's again? I would swap out these Tein HA's in a second /yes Don't get me wrong, the HA's are awesome.. But the Tanabe's were just so sorted for the Leggy Vr4 /yes

They look very similiar to the old ones I had on my white one which were HKS.
I`ll post up some pickies if I can find them?

Assuming they are Tanabe's, they are much better than Tein's. Better springs rates :)
