Greatly appreciate the comment dude..

I used to specialize in the galant and legnum but now they're gettn a bit outdated for me so the outlander is the new family wagon and with it I will grow and make and source anything for these to the best of my knowledge

The best on the market is probably KW coilover v2 for us.
But if you have access to Japanese market I know they have a few more choices.
KW does a bit of R&D. I don't want to drop the ride height on such a car. And Sway bar upgrade would be the best thing for handling on this application, but I don't know any body who makes one

The Japanese chaassis code is CW6W for the 3.0 liter engine and I think CW5W is the earlier smaller engine.

Yea I know what JDM offer but I ersonslly do not like the ralli art suspension. Not cool, and coil overs.. Just ricer........ So I want a progressive spring with a max 20mm drop and large increase in rigidity.. And the sway bars will do a big part too...

Power package.. We are going to unlock som power from the ecu by remapping a few things etc on the dyno, but this is later down the track

Coilovers are not just about rice or look cool. I think you may find when you lower the outlander you may get uneven lowering. I think even in stock form you may have some uneven lean. Coilover,lets you get the car perfect plus you get shock absorber to match so you won't blow it out.

The KW coilovers also uses progressive springs to give it a comfortable ride.

Are you all talking about the same rear suspension configuration? The service manual I have shows two different rear suspension configurations. It shows all 7 seat Outlanders have coil springs on the lower arms, while some 5 seat Outlanders have coilovers and others have the lower arm coils (like the 7 seaters).
