Don't get me wrong. The look is killer. I'm just wondering how f'd up it'd be to try and stick a jack under the car. Granted if you've got help or strong enough, you can somewhat lift up the car via the wheel well but even then, there's a good chance of damaging the fender.

I guess stock jack is required.

Thanks dude. The only way I could pull off a drop like this on 20"s was to go with a high offset wheel. For anyone wanting to go 20" and slammed, they should stay at a +45 or higher offset to ensure no rubbing.

The stock jack, at its lowest setting fits under the car with plenty of room to spare. It comes really close to hitting the skirt just when it's about to make contact with the jacking point on the body, but it does clear.

I'm not sure how to describe it. There are no "notches" or numbers on the coilover. Just a threaded shock. I just turned it to essentially "shrink" the length of the coilover. It took a few tries to get it just right. If I had to guess, I'd say I'm lowered about 2.5" in the front and 2" in the rear.

The Megans cost me $875 shipped from eBay, and I got $200 cashback from Microsoft Live program. So altogether they cost me $675.

Thanks for the compliments. My car has come a very long way since these pics, though...

The height doesn't have a setting. I just dumped it as far as I could go without rubbing. Since I have high offset wheels, I was able to dump them pretty low.

They ride just fine. I have no complaints at all. I have the damper setting at 15 all around. It's not too firm, but it still lifts my ass off the seat when I go into a dip. It's an absolute champ on the highway though.

The body kit is by RonJon. You can purchase it here: http://www.ronjonsportdesign.com/tlkit.html

Be prepared to spend $3k by the time it's on the car...

Trew, your ryde look really wickked man! Thanks for clarifying that my megans weren't defective lol. When I first installed them they tucked PASSED the rims! I couldn't drive it anywhere let alone get out driveway. I have mine set on 16f/17r. and they riding puuuurrfectly after 6k+ miles and counting no noise clicking nor problems like others stated. Just alittle pain to do oil change need two different kinda jacks to get under. Becareful with the parking lot humps they'll rip off your kit stock or RJ.

Anyhoo wickked ass ride!
