Thanks Norm! Didn't do the camber kit as the drop is not super aggressive (~1 3/8" drop). The ride so far is very comfy. However, I haven't had a chance to drive over rough pavement yet. Total cost on the Megan EZ coilovers was $640 shipped. Great bang for the buck and the quality of C/O far exceeded my expectations.

Found these BBS on craigslist and hand them refinished and painted in Honda PMM, the same color as the family MDX. They are 19x8 + 45 running 245/40. No rolling but über close to the fender lip with coils.

Looks really good, a strong argument for 40 series tire on 19s.

You see me, I CU2
So outta curiosity...does this mean deuces to the factory warranty? I been wondering about this issue the whole time, specially when I buy my coils.
I was thinking of raising it to stock height if it has to come into the shop then slam it when its done lol...

That's a great looking set up. I've never been a fan of mesh wheels, but those work really well with the car.
Any feedback on those Megan EZs? I'm interested to know how they ride and if you've played with any of the settings yet. Thanks.

Thanks Puppet! The Megans are working out really well. Keep in mind this is my daily driver and not an auto-x'er. So far, I am very impressed with the Megan EX coils. It's quiet like the an OE setup but the added benefit of strut firmness adjustability is a real winner. I currently have the fronts set to 5 clicks away from max and 7 clicks away from max in the rears. The comfort level is just a bit stiffer compared to OE while handling and responsiveness to turn in are excellent and quick. Having used Tein SS in previous vehicles, I preferred the Megan EZ over Tein SS for my daily driving and ride comfort.

So there are no noises at all? What drives me nuts about certain coilovers are the squeaks and rattles, which is why I chose the Tein SS on my previous car, since they reused the stock rubber upper mount which reduced the likelihood of metal on metal type noise issues. Thanks again for the response.

Thanks. I may have to look into the EZs myself. Not sure I like that they have 5 kg springs in the rear though, might see if they can put 7 or 8 kg in instead.
