the moment you have been waiting for (MEGAN coilovers installed) pics.
well i installed them last night finally,put 400 miles on them right after i installed them,i have to say,they are niceeee,i set them at 16 all around,not too stiff not too soft,i tried it at 25 for about 1 mile and its like a boat,way soft,even softer than stock i think... megans preset height had my 18 inch wheel tucked all the way to the rim edge so i had to raise them like 2 inches or somethin,im nto sure what my over all drop was,bbut it was a good inch and a half maybe 3/4..so here comes the pics!
and my next major mod i am thinking about:
DUAL .50CAL ..what do u think? right out the top of the sunroof? just might work!

My wife has been wanting one of those for her minivan for the longest time.
Makes freeway driving on SoCal much more exciting.

yeah i did,but camber is non adjustble on our cars,and i didnt get a camber kit...one side is off by 1.2 degrees and the other is off by .9 degrees or so.
it looks like crap too in the rear,very noticable...i will buy a camber kit before my next alignment,unless it tears my tires up bad before hand

you know whats funny when I first saw the pics of your car and I saw that curve I was like dude wth is that there for.... but you know what... I've got a solution for you being able to go lower... wooden ramps 
... you just need need one to put the front ontop so it clears that little curve
I would certainly drop is more... right now you are rolling 1" all around
still looks pimped... aspec kit coming?
ps. nbp full rep points

Just get and keep good Toe alignment and I bet your tires will be fine. If you don't like the look, then yeah, you'll need the camber kit.
Regards the "more drop" comments: You ask for opinions, you take your chances. The good news is all those opinions are worth exactly what you paid for them.

32 levels is a good option but then again are you really gonna use it all? 16 is already well enough, and yeah the pilllowball mounts are a plus

How does the overall ride comfortability compare to stock? Was that soft setting you tried out comparable. I'm definitely interested in these but it doesn't seem like there is much spring length there and the front spring rate is designed pretty stiff.
Seems like ends users on the interwebs are pretty happy with the Megans. They are made by the same company that makes some real high dollar kits.

im pretty confident that the megans can get a stock feel,i am thinking of adjusting my front really soft to get a feel for it to see how it really can feel...i have only been riding on the midway point cause i like it to be stiff on fast turns and corners...i will do a test on the front wwhen i get it back from the bodyshop,try it on 25-30 just to see...and i will do another review on them. over all i am verry happy with them.
ps..do u paint cars powerflow? or do u just like the pic in ur avatar? (i have 3 satas)

Those Iwata LPH's are really nice. I used one a few times and really liked it. They also are great if you don't have a high compressor or doing a low pressure effect since they have a low rating.
