cant just do the fronts sorry makes the wagon unstable cornering and you wear tyres

doing the back springs is very easy and you can DIY ... not that many bolts when you get to it

you may need a different shock at the back

king springs do make a range for the first gen $ 250 a set aprox fitting extra

dropped price http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Mitsubishi-Magna-TM-TN-TP-Wagon-Lowered-King-Springs-/120853129629?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AMagna&hash=item1c2368699d&_uhb=1

lowerers 30 -35 mm ..thats legal .... dont cut the springs

Don't worry not gonna cut springs. Its my first car in a while that doesn't have a large aftermaket following as I have a mk1 golf and a na mx5 both heavily modified.
Think the king springs might be the best choice but the rear sits pretty perfect and I will want to carry a fair bit in this car from time to time id like it to not drop much under the extra weight.
Pehaps I can get rwars of the same hight with a heavier spring rate to even the handeling front slightly lowered. Il do some more research I have time as it won't be happening till November at least as im saving every penny as im going over seas

there has to be a supplier somewhere today with the shortened bump stops

it may be a demand thing as to why they dont stock them everywhere
