Standard Y60 rear coil springs

Does anybody have a set of Y60 (GQ) patrol rear coils lying around?
I have a friend who wants to see if they can be used on a Hyundai Terracan, which some say is very closely based on the S2 Pajero.
Thanks

Peter, I am afraid that I am going to rain on your mate's parade.
There is a bit of Pajero Gen 2 DNA in the Terror-Can, but unfortunately the rear suspension is very different on the two. The 'Can uses rear coil springs that are quite a bit smaller (104 mm vs. 145 mm, I think) in outside diameter than the Pajero (or Patrol), so it won't quite be a plug-and-play effort.

That saves us quite a bit of trouble.

Mac, you are not far wrong. The Terrano springs are indeed around 106 mm diameter, but as far as I know the wire diameter used in those Terrano rear coils is of a significantly lighter gauge than that used in the Terracan coils while the free lengths are similar, so I think you would have reduced ride height in a 'Can with Terrano coils. Then you just need 20" bling rims to complete the look

Then Tinus will have to drag him through Botswana all the way instead of just some of the way.
