I just installed them, installation was fairly simple, took longer adjusting the height then anything else lol..I had to drive 60 miles right after for an errand and I'm speechless with the quality! I'll post pics soon!!!

Im going to lower it a little more, i have to roll the fenders in the front and then lower it in the back.

Also I been hearing a little squeeck in the back but it was happening with the old suspension too so I have to check that out.

LMK what you guys think, and I LOVE IT SLAMMMMMED, DUMPED, DROPPED, what ever you wanna call it lol.

Looks AMAZING!!

that is about the same height i set mine too, i had to run outside and put a can on the side of the lip. The ride is really good. But if you haven't noticed already if you go down some steep inclines and hear a scraping sound you are probably not scraping the lip. It is that dam air deflector underneath the front.

did you install it yourself. I'm thinking bout getting them. I have installed other suspensions without power tools. Did it require you to use any power tools for the megans??

The drop looks great!

On a side note, you might want to get the front lip repainted so it matches a little better.

its funny how just having the car an inch (or three) closer to the pavement makes it looks so much better

im about a half inch higher than you and that damn air reflector scrapes while fucking driving straight sometimes haha

but yo its looks good man and megans ride super smooth ( its almost the same as stock type s suspension imo) whatd you set the damper too?? and when we gunna go for a cruise

We definitely need to go on a cruise man! They ride extremely smooth, Im scraping the plastic inside the wheel base so on wedsday I have to roll the front fenders and might cut the plastic a bit.

I got the damper setting at 17 and I'm in love, my gf is picky and she even said it rode like stock!

You have me debating now on which suspension set up I should get. Still getting noise in the rear? Is it subsiding?

Since looking at your avatar, I wonder what wheels you plan on getting.

I would recommend MEGANS all the way, im still in shock how nice they ride.

The noise is not the coils, my car has been doing this since my last suspension setup..

I was going to get some crazy crazy wheels but then I discovered my back fender has a bunch of bondo on it and its extremely ugly on the inside and I cant pull, so as aggressive as I can get by rolling them

Did someone say something about not being able to adjust camber w/ the megans installed? Was I not understanding something?

BTW...to the guys w/ Teins & EDFC...is the EDFC something that you use enough to justify the extra $$$? I've been trying to decide on coils lately, and leaning towards Teins because of the EDFC...but that's just bc I like gadgets.
