    Thumbs up rear coil spring part number alternative??

    My rear springs have been sagging so I went and put on new struts from Monroe plus new springs from moog. The moog struts are monsters though! They lifted my tail around 3 inches which is nice but only if I could do the same to the front(I don't think such a mod exists on the front..) anyways, I called around and was told you can no longer order the oem Mitsubishi springs! And no actual aftermarket seems to exist other than these 2003 beetle springs. Other than having my rear now much higher over bumps my car feels like it's pounding the ground.. please help. I can't put on used parts btw.

    What did you replace??? You don't have struts on the rear. Did you get "coil over" shocks??? Post a pic of your rear struts so we can see what you are working with... You say you got struts from Monroe, then you say the struts from moog are monsters??? Please clarify...
    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything

    I guess they would be called shocks for the rear. I replaced those with the monroes and the springs in the rear with moogs. They're much thicker and around a 3 inch lift lol. moog 81055 springs

    Try this.
    Coil Spring - Mitsubishi (4140A469)
    2017-2021 Mitsubishi Mirage - 4140a469

    This website says OEMs are available. 2014-2015 springs were pretty soft and Mitsubishi firmed them up starting with the 2017 model year. It might be that they stopped carrying the 2014-2015 springs and say to use the newer springs instead. Rear springs after 2015 are firmer and I suspect that’s what you are going for. The two sides use the same spring.

    Folks here are only trying to help, and it’s sometimes difficult to understand what people are trying to say over the internet (it is easy to confuse shocks with struts but they serve different but similar purposes.) The laughs come at no extra charge.

    Edit: Welcome to the forum. Nice wheels by the way. I suggest sticking with the stock height to avoid alignment problems.

    I read it as a request for rear spring options... you didn't say anything about front struts / springs,,, unless I'm missing something, that could be very possible as reading is hard,,, comprehension is even harder... The title I saw was "" rear coil spring part number alternative??"" that does not suggest anything about front springs... but I'm not the sharpest tac in the bulletin board... Google is your friend, best of luck


    I didn't know what to do, so I didn't do anything
