    Unknown Coilovers.

    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!

    No idea but I will take them off your hands to thoroughly test them if you want
    Possibly the only VR4 that was driven by the current owner before being registered..... & it's a UK car

    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?
