Listed for: 1996-2003 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 (EC5A/EC5W)Fitment notes & questions

Built for daily-driven cars, this SF Racing Sport kit replaces the factory struts and springs on the 1996-2003 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 (EC5A/EC5W) with height-adjustable coilovers and single-knob damping adjustment. This version is listed for AWD models.

How this kit is set up for the 1996-2003 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4

Both ends use a true coilover layout, with the spring sitting on the damper body at every corner. Damper bodies are 50mm front and rear. It comes with 18.6 kg/mm (about 1042 lb/in) springs up front and 6.6 kg/mm (about 370 lb/in) at the rear. Damping is 1-way: a single knob with 32 settings changes rebound and compression together, which keeps tuning quick. The front top mounts are aluminum with rubber bushings. At the rear, the mounts are aluminum with rubber bushings.

Features

  • Monotube damper design for better heat control and fewer leaks
  • 32 damping settings on a single knob that sets rebound and compression together
  • Independent lower mount adjustment keeps spring preload and damper travel where they should be when you change height
  • Anodized T6-6061 aluminum top mounts, spring perches and collars for corrosion resistance
  • Zinc-plated shock bodies for rust protection
  • SAE9254 cold-wound springs
  • NOK seals and Italian IP damping oil
  • Built-in dust boots and bump stops
  • Bolt-on install with no modifications, unless the notes below say otherwise
  • Ride height lowers roughly 1 to 2.5 inches below stock (SF Racing's figure) without giving up suspension travel

Who it suits

Ideal for street cars that need a sensible drop and some tuning range, without going to track-level stiffness.

Before you order: Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 fitment and setup

If you want more control over stance and handling than lowering springs give you on a Mitsubishi Galant VR-4, a coilover kit like this SF Racing set is the usual next step.

Fitment notes

  • Listed for: 1996-2003 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 (EC5A/EC5W).
  • Model years: 1996-2003. Check your car's year falls inside this range.
  • Chassis code EC5A/EC5W: parts for other chassis codes of the same model usually won't fit.
  • Factory adaptive dampers: if your car has electronic or adaptive suspension, check whether the listing covers it or needs a cancellation kit.
  • Specs, lead time and warranty come from SF Racing and can change. The details above this guide are the latest we have.

Not sure it fits? Message us your car's details and we'll double-check fitment with the supplier before you buy.

Plan the whole job

  • An alignment. Any change in ride height changes camber and toe. Set your final height first, then align.
  • Camber and toe adjustment. Bigger drops often need adjustable arms or camber plates to align properly. See alignment and camber kits.
  • Wheel and tire clearance. Check clearance at full lock and full compression, especially with wider wheels.

Questions about Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 coilovers

Will this fit my Mitsubishi Galant VR-4?
It is listed for the 1996-2003 Mitsubishi Galant VR-4 (EC5A/EC5W). Check your year, model, drivetrain and chassis code against the product title. If anything is different, contact us and we will confirm fitment with the supplier before you order.
Do I need an alignment after installing coilovers?
Yes. Changing ride height changes camber and toe. Set your final height, let the suspension settle, then get the car aligned.
How low can I go?
It depends on the adjustment range the brand lists, your wheels and tires, and how you use the car. Most cars that are driven hard work best with a modest drop that leaves enough suspension travel.
Where do specs and warranty details come from?
From SF Racing. We sell parts from several brands and suppliers, and each one sets its own specs, lead times and warranty terms. The product details above are the latest we have.
