Selecting the correct spring rate is critical for achieving optimal ride quality, handling, and component longevity. Your spring rate should be based on your vehicle's current constant load — the weight of accessories and equipment permanently fitted to your Pajero. Common front-end accessories that affect spring selection include aftermarket bull bars (especially steel), winches, upgraded batteries, long-range fuel tanks, heavy-duty intercoolers, and roof racks with permanently mounted awnings or cargo. Do not select spring rates based on occasional loads such as camping gear, firewood, or intermittent towing — these temporary loads should not influence your spring choice as over-rated springs will result in an excessively harsh ride and potential damage to other suspension components during unloaded driving.
Front accessories to consider: Bull bar weight (aluminium vs steel), winch and mounting plate, upgraded batteries, auxiliary lighting, long-range fuel tank, intercooler upgrades, raised air intake systems, skid plates, and permanently mounted roof rack loads.
Important: Selecting springs that are too heavy for your actual constant load will result in a harsh, uncomfortable ride, increased wear on suspension components such as bushes and shock absorbers, and poor handling characteristics on-road. Always choose springs matched to your real-world setup.
Professional installation by a qualified mechanic or experienced DIY installer with appropriate spring compressor equipment is strongly recommended for coil spring replacement. Spring installation involves working with highly compressed components that can cause serious injury if not handled correctly. A full wheel alignment is mandatory after installation to ensure correct camber, caster, and toe settings — failure to align your vehicle will result in premature tyre wear and compromised handling. All coil springs require a 500km break-in period during which they will settle and seat properly — ride height may drop slightly during this period, which is normal.
For vehicles with significant front-end weight from bull bars and winches, consider pairing these coil springs with upgraded control arms to maintain correct castor angles and steering geometry, particularly if lift height exceeds 30mm. Worn control arm bushes should be replaced during spring installation to maximize performance and component life.

These front coil springs are ideal for Mitsubishi Pajero owners who have added permanent front-end accessories and noticed ride height drop or want to prevent sagging before it occurs. Perfect for tradespeople with bull bars and equipment, touring families with winch setups, and daily drivers who want to restore factory ride height while maintaining comfort. If you regularly carry heavy variable loads or tow caravans and camper trailers, consider supplementing these springs with airbag suspension at the rear for adjustable load support without compromising unladen ride quality.

Yes, these Toughdog front coil springs are specifically engineered for Mitsubishi Pajero models from 2000 onwards, covering the NM, NP, NS, NT, and NX series code ranges. The springs are designed as direct replacements for the factory front coil springs with no modifications required. To confirm exact fitment for your specific model year and variant, check our vehicle compatibility table or use our online parts finder. If you're unsure about your Pajero's series code, our team can help identify the correct application based on your VIN or build date.
The lift height achieved depends on the spring rate you select and your vehicle's current constant load. Toughdog front coil springs are primarily designed to restore factory ride height lost to accessory weight or to support new front-end accessories without sagging. Depending on spring rate selection and load carried, you can expect approximately 0-30mm of additional height compared to worn factory springs. These springs are engineered for load support and ride quality rather than maximum lift — if you're seeking significant lift height for larger tyres, a complete lift kit with matched springs and shocks will deliver better results.
This kit includes a matched pair of Toughdog front coil springs (left and right) with corrosion-resistant coating and detailed fitting instructions. Spring isolators, top mounts, bump stops, and other mounting hardware are not included and should be reused from your existing setup if in good condition, or purchased separately if worn. The springs are compatible with both factory shock absorbers and aftermarket performance shocks. You'll need appropriate spring compressor tools for safe installation, and we strongly recommend replacing worn mounting components during spring installation to maximize performance and safety.
These front coil springs can be used on vehicles that tow, but spring rate selection should be based only on your front-end constant load (bull bar, winch, etc.), not towing weight. Towing weight is carried by the rear suspension, not the front springs. For the best towing setup, ensure your rear suspension is adequately supported — either with correctly rated rear springs or adjustable airbag suspension that allows you to increase support when towing and reduce it when unladen. This approach maintains optimal ride quality in all conditions while preventing rear sag under tow ball weight.
Control arm upgrades are not mandatory when installing these coil springs, particularly if you're only restoring factory ride height. However, if your Pajero has significant front-end weight from bull bars and winches, or if the springs provide more than 25-30mm of lift, aftermarket control arms with adjustable castor correction can help maintain optimal steering geometry and on-road handling. Additionally, if your factory control arm bushes are worn or your vehicle has over 100,000km, this is an ideal time to replace them or upgrade to heavy-duty bushings to maximize the performance of your new springs.
Yes, a full four-wheel alignment is absolutely mandatory after installing new front coil springs. Changing coil springs alters your vehicle's ride height, which affects camber, castor, and toe settings — critical angles that determine tyre wear, steering feel, and handling stability. Driving without proper alignment will result in rapid and uneven tyre wear, poor handling characteristics, and potential safety issues. The alignment should be performed after the springs have completed their initial break-in period of approximately 500km, as springs will settle slightly during this time and final ride height will stabilize.
Yes, Toughdog front coil springs are available in multiple spring rates to match your Pajero's specific constant load requirements. When ordering, you'll select the appropriate spring rate based on the combined weight of permanently fitted front-end accessories such as your bull bar, winch, batteries, and other equipment. It's critical to select the correct rate — springs that are too soft will sag under load, while springs that are too stiff will deliver an excessively harsh ride and can damage other suspension components. Our team can help you calculate your front-end accessory weight and recommend the optimal spring rate for your exact setup.
The tyre clearance you gain depends on the spring rate selected and resulting lift height achieved. These coil springs are designed primarily for load support rather than maximum lift, so while you may gain 20-30mm of additional clearance in the front guards, this may not be sufficient for significantly larger tyres without additional modifications. For most Pajero owners, the modest lift from these springs will accommodate one tyre size increase (approximately 10-20mm larger diameter) without rubbing issues. If you're planning to fit substantially larger tyres for serious off-road use, a complete suspension lift kit with matched shocks and springs will provide better clearance and performance.
Toughdog front coil springs are backed by the manufacturer's comprehensive warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The specific warranty period varies based on application and conditions of use, but Toughdog stands behind their products with Australia-wide warranty support. To maintain warranty coverage, springs must be installed by a qualified mechanic, matched to appropriate constant load requirements, and used within their design parameters. Warranty claims are assessed based on normal wear and tear versus manufacturing defects. Keep your purchase receipt and installation records to facilitate any warranty claims.
Absolutely — when correctly matched to your vehicle's constant load, Toughdog coil springs deliver excellent ride quality for daily commuting and highway driving while also providing the load support needed for touring and off-road adventures. Unlike cheap springs that compromise either comfort or load capacity, Toughdog's engineering ensures you don't have to choose between ride quality and capability. The key is selecting the appropriate spring rate — over-rated springs will be harsh and uncomfortable on daily drives, while correctly rated springs maintain the balanced ride characteristics Pajero owners expect, with the added benefit of supporting front-end accessories without sagging.

Well worth the money for anyone doing regular family camping trips.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Pajero
Been running these Toughdog front coils on our NM Pajero for about six months now and they've been brilliant for our monthly camping trips down the coast. The ride quality is noticeably better than the old sagging springs, even with the roof tent and extra gear up front. Fitment was spot-on and they've handled everything from highway driving to beach tracks without any issues.(5)
Perfect Upgrade for Our Family Pajero
Finally replaced the sagging front coil springs on our 2003 Pajero and what a difference these Toughdog springs have made. The front end sits level now even with our bullbar and winch fitted, and the ride quality on corrugated tracks is noticeably better than the old worn stockers. We've done a couple of trips up to the High Country since installation and the family has commented on how much more comfortable the drive is. Well worth the investment for anyone doing regular touring.(5)
