I need some new STD springs for my Magna Wagon. Does anyone know what brand I should get?? I know that I can get STD springs at Mitsubishi, but they cost a fortune. I know that KING makes STD springs, anyone that has any experience with STD springs from KING??

How does STD springs from KING compare to OEM STD springs?? Are KING's softer/harder than OEM??

What other brand do you recommend??

I've got standard height Lovells springs on my AWD. They're fine and in my opinion they are better than Kings. They were about $280 for the set (f & r). I've heard good reports about Dobinson springs and if I were you, I'd get a quote on Dobinson springs from Madmagna (Mits-fix). You can definitely do better price-wise than buying springs from a Mitsubishi dealer.

If you just want standard springs (ie not lowered and/or heavy duty) then why not just got to a wreckers and get some standard springs?

Now I'm confused. There seems to be some brands that makes std height springs for the wagons. King, lovells and dobinsons. I've been searching on the dobinsons and they seem to be making good springs! :)

In your (Parsha) opinion, the lovells are better than kings. Are they stiffer, lasts longer before they sag? Please explain :)

I want std height springs that are somewhat stiff. I hate springs that sag after a short period...


If you just want standard springs (ie not lowered and/or heavy duty) then why not just got to a wreckers and get some standard springs?

I would, but the wagons were never sold in Sweden. There are a few wagons here, but those on the wreckers has over 300k km on the oddo, and I don't wanna use springs that's at least 16 yrs old with that many km on them...

Are there std height springs that are heavy duty for the wagon?? That would be awesome for the rear! :)

I would describe the Lovells springs as firmer, but that's just my opinion. Next time around, I would be willing to give the Dobinsons a try.
