Which springs for Gen 5 wagon?? Advice needed

Just brought a MY10 Liberty GT wagon and I'm looking to sharpen up the look with some new springs. Not keen on sacrificing comfort levels and don't want it silly low just something classy and comfortable. Any suggestions?

if you are just looking at springs (and not coilovers), the ones you find being used are either STI pinks or TEINs. TEINs go down lower than the STI pinks. Depends on your tradeoff preference for practicality vs looks

on2youliberty has TEINs



I have STI pinks

Thanks Simon,

Ive asked around (Gold coast) today and it seem like most places only have the King Springs for this model. Seem like they will provide a good drop (20-25mm) which is all I'm looking for. Ive seen mixed reviews on the Kings but its not too $$ so ill put them on and see how it goes.

Love that front grille on your ride btw! Will have to look into something like that soon i reckon. Man this forum is going to be bad for my bank balance!! :D

Love my TEINS

It's not ridiculously low, but low enough to get rid of the wheel gap and rarely scrapes.

+2 I bought my wagon to haul the dog around and be a nice daily (wasn't even after a turbo, it just came up during my search).
Now I have all sorts of expensive ideas in my head. Already have an R32 GT-R so I don't need two money pits :'(.

So got the Kings put on today and really happy with the front end but they actually lifted the back! :shock:

Anyway the suspension place is going to make some calls and arrange for different rear springs next week.

In a weird way it kinda looks good being low at the front and high at the back, sweet angle! haha

Also consider H&R who make a set specifically for the GT Wagon which maintains the ride height ratios. Lowers around 33-35mm all around.

Edit:
If lowering then also suggest the roll centre adjust kit from whiteline.
May need a bit of rear guard pull if you have wider wheels/tyres.
