I have a set of these: http://www.camskill.co.uk/m22b0s1405p114283/TEIN_S_TECH_LOWERING_SPRING_KITS_-_Tein_S_Tech_Lowering_Springs_Mitsubishi_Legnum_2_ 5_EC5W_AWD_08_1996_To_08_2002_%28Twin_Turbo%29

Complete with a set of standard shocks - I bought them a while ago off another member who broke his car, but never fitted them - mainly because my exhaust is a little low and I wanted to raise it slightly before fitting.

Saloon and Estate suspension is interchangeable, and as the Legnum is only about 40kg heavier than the saloon, the rear will only be 1 or 2mm different in height.

PM me if interested!! :)

Nope Nev, fronts are the same but rears are way different, salon springs will raise estate by (IIRC) 30-40mm, makes car looks like off-road monster, at least standard susp do it. Have them fitted (salon springs on to my estate) as temporary solution for a day or so.

Adam, are the saloon springs that you mention regular ones or lowering ones? If lowering then I might be interested in buying them once you are done with them

My mistake! I thought they were the same size at the rear - is the Legnum rear suspension slightly shorter than the saloon rear suspension then?

So if saloon springs raises the back end of the estate does estate suspension lower the back end of the saloon more than it should? :huh2:

What coilovers did you end up going for? On the hunt for a set but Teins with EDFC are impossible to find second hand.
