    Hard rear springs?

    Hi, i took my Mirage out for a spin with a family, it seems to me that the rear suspension is too soft for 2 adults and 2 kids, yet im thinking to add a roof rack with storage, does anybody know if its possible to make the Mirages suspension a little harder and if yes do i need to replace just the rear springs or all 4 springs?

    Your guess is as good as ours.

    However, a few people in the other thread pointed out, while stiffer springs may help, the combo of stiffer springs and shocks... Not jjust springs.

    no, that would be really dangerous. maybe not today or tomorrow but one day you, your mirage and your family will wonder why you bounced off the road and into the ditch. replace the struts and spings as a designed pair. A underdampened spring can and will compress and bounce back with enough energy to pull the tire off the road surface and that means bad.

    I guess it would make sense to replace springs and shocks together!
    Any idea where to get them? Im not into lowering vehicles so i cant use lowering kits!
