Megans installed

Thanks to stillhere153, my car is no longer a 4x4. About 1.75" in the front, 1" in the rear

This is the setting right out of the box




after some adjustments, were sitting pretty






Only one problem we ran into. A broken rear stabilizer link. Luckily, acura of wantagh had one in stock so I grabbed it and were all good. Right now im on the softest setting. We left the rear seats out so Im going to drive for a while until I find the right setting for me

Dam at 32 being soft it still gives a decent drop, im so close to getting these.

regardless of what you set the dampening level to, stiff or soft, the drop will be whatever you set it toll

That looks great! Like you, I finally lowered my 4x4 down. It feels great

Do you have just the front and rear A-Spec? That doesn't look as bad as I thought it would! And those clear sidemarkers are looking sweet! Black out or clear those headlights sometime as well

WDPs look so good when dumped...

You're gonna love those Megans. I run 15 front and rear on the damper settings. My TL is my daily driver and it holds up well in all conditions.

megans have become the choice of coilovers. If i wasn't on air i would definitely be running with the megans.

im still on the softest setting (32) after 200 miles. now im really starting to get a feel for these coils. its way to bouncy lol but softer then stock. i think im gonna go down like 4 or 5 clicks at a time and find a nice setting
