Early next month, i'll be in the market for a set of Tein Super Wagons. It looks like this is the choice of most Legnum owners here.
Does anybody have the details of where i can order a set from and how much they will cost?

Yeah no worries will grab a stack and post them up
Mac, they were 149,480 yen including EMS air freight, his commisions and other fees, which was a good price before the dollar took it in the rectum....
Heaps better than RHD and Nengun

I don't bother going to RHD or Nengun, there is an Aussie guy in Japan by the name of Jesse Streeter who sends stuff here, with a small commission for himself. His email is dartsun75 at gmail dot com
If you use his services, please pay promptly as it reduces the risk of him bailing out and not doing it anymore.

The Super Flex, they the ones with the camber tops?
Another vote here for Jesse. He's fantastic. Actually don't think I've ever heard a complaint!

you can't adjust camber in that way on a VR-4

Not even with something like this ? I know those particular ones are only adjustable on the front, but someone, cusco maybe, might makes ones for the rear?
Granted, its a rather pricey fix compared to the washer fix.

Got it. Cheers Brad.
Seems an easy fix really. Those "camber kits" are just the same only using swish looking washes. Pffft.
Well... off to the nuts and bolts store for me.

Thought so, from what I can see is that the only difference between the Super Wagons and Super-Flex wagons is the camber adjustment which, brad has pointed out, is irrelevant on our cars. Am I correct?

Mine didn't come with camber tops, as has been said, they are useless. I installed them on the weekend. Left the preload as they were from the box, then based height from that. Pretty happy with the height the car is at, wheels don't scrub at all.
The dampening works really well, big difference noticable between medium and hard(started half way then cranked it up). I now have it 4 notches from hardest, and it is really firm, but still comfy. Might turn it down a little more to make it mildy softer.
Spring rates are 8kg front and 5kg rear, PERFECT in all regards. They don't feel hard, but support the car nicely. Took a bunch of pics, here they are...

Initial Front Height Setup(raised from here 10mm)
Rear Wishbone(Will look into having some modified or custom made to allow camber adjustment)

Current Height(want to drop front 5mm and rear 5-10mm)

These are SUPER FLEX WAGON.
They are base height and preload adjustable, where as I believe the SUPER WAGON coilovers are height only. I far prefer the base height adjustability as it allows the shock absorber to work in its optimal range at all times, regardless of height.

That looks pretty good, didn't think the wheels would tuck in that much, but you've done it, looks 10x better than what it did with the stock shocks.

The rears tuck in too much, needs a 10mm spacer... That'd make them a 9 +28. So, by a rough calculation, you need ~10mm more track on the rear if not touching camber to keep the wheels similar in stance
Front guards are completely untouched, so I could say with some rolling and flaring a 9 +30 would fit no worries at all.
Same with the rear, they are only lightly rolled(upper wishbone gets in the way of the roller), but with a full roll and flare, a 9 +20 wouldn't be too hard to squeeze in.
Though if I were going to that extreme, I'd get some 9.5's
EDIT: Just looked on www.cars-directory.net and these are the track dimensions for the legnum: 1525 / 1520. So my guess of needing a 10mm spacer is pretty good I think
