I'm interested in the Upgraded shocks and springs on the 2017. Rather than experimenting with iffy aftermarket solutions. I prefer to play it safe and get something meant for the application. I'm still waiting for some one to review the suspension on the '17

Yes they are shorter by big margin. I would not recommend TEINs as springs are too soft and have no travel, so you would need replacement springs (look posts above and in this forum for more info).There are also Largus and Gab SS coilovers, but no aftermarket direct replacements as of now.
I have a set of C/Yaris takeoffs somewhere and will compare them to Mirage OEMs, but it may have to wait until weekend. Fronts are unlikely but rears may be the right size.

Good luck finding Largus, Gab ss, D2 Racing, and BR racing. Everywhere i go they are either out of stock or unavailable.

Out of curiosity, I searched the Mitsubishipartswarehouse.com listing for the 2015 Mirage and noticed they list one set of part numbers for the springs for a Mirage with automatic transmission, and a different part number for a model with manual transmission.
2015 Mirage Front Suspension Part Numbers
Notes:
Component Description Manual Transmission CV Transmission Coil Spring 4040A411 4040A412 Strut 4060A382 4060A382
1. The parts are the same for both left and right sides.
2. The parts are the same for both the DE and ES models.
It might be helpful to keep in mind that the manufacturer specified different springs for the manual versus the cvt.

Thanks! I couldn't decide where to include this info, as it seemed to apply to several threads.
As in the thread on suspension history, there's lots of discussion and desire to change it somehow. Again, I think it is important to note different springs for the different drivetrain configurations from the factory, but the same dampers (struts.) This speaks to how the manufacturer approached handling the different weight distribution on the models.
Has anyone considered using springs from the CVT model on a manual transmission Mirage?
