Question Megan Racing Coilovers

I have Megans in my TL. For those who have them also, what (32 way adj) settings do you have them set to that has given you the best ride without our cars bouncing up in down?

Ive just noticed lately that my TL bounces a lot and hate that jiggle feeling all the time.

I don't have Megans but my Teins have 32-way adjustment.

Mine is around 24 clicks (from soft) so they're fairly stiff without being bone jarring.

chopstix, I cant remember what settings mine is set at, but i started out around half way, then adjusted the stiffness from there.

If your getting a bouncing/jarring movement, then you may be too stiff. adjust a few clicks towards soft and go from there. I know my front adjustment is stiffer than the rear. If I had to guess, my front is around 20-22 clicks towards stiff, and rear is around 15-18 clicks towards stiff.

I am on megans btw.

No problem! It's all a matter of preference, when I first installed my coils it was very floaty at 16 (middle of damping) and I didn't like it at all, we stiffened it up and I haven't touched it since.

I think I have mines set at 15 in the front and 20 in the rear. my car rides slightly stiffer than stock. When adjusting your dampening make sure you have the rears at a firmer setting than the front, this would help with the understeer that the TL has.

OP, I'm dropped on Megan coilovers, and have both front and back set to 15 clicks backed off from fully stiff. Rides well, but my passenger side upper A arm hits the inside of wheel-well when I have a passenger and I drive through certain types of dips in the road.
