New owner of Megan Coilovers Options

[trdproven]

Heres a pic sample of my megan coilovers. I dont wanna take full pics till i get it at the right ride height for me. I installed the coilovers without height adjustment and they pretty much came out the same as my intrax springs just a tad tad bit lower almost no major change but that means out of the box is somewhere at least 2" drop but then again I havent let it settle. When I installed it my tires were 1 inch of the ground, when I jacked up the knuckle, the tires were decently far from the ground after, I am assuming the ride height will get lower still after much driving. Haven't done a damper adjustment yet too, i was too tired, had stubborn bolts and nuts - had to grind one off. Took it for a quick ride though, stiff but still comfortable at the same time, it must be my tires though. I want to compare the hardest adjustment vs. the softest.

how long did it take you to install them?

Didn't take too long, first one was a breeze, second, I had a stripped bolt - had to grind it off and spent two hours looking for a similar bolt and nut. Third was fast but I realized megan had the brackets for the brake line backwards don't know if it is like that or if it is a defect so I had to take it off and use the other one. Also end link didnt fit thats why I tried the other one. Fourth one was the fastest. Took a few hours because I had to waste time looking for bolt and nut, took smoke breaks, and I did it myself so I had to rest here and there. It sucks holding up the coilover and at the same time reachin up to put on the top mount bolts.
Typical install without issues is prolly 2 hrs. That does not count in between the lines like jacking up the car, removing the wheel, being careful, etc. Well you are not suppose to rush these things anyways so I'd say between 2-3 hrs but, that does not include any adjustment for height, damper, or camber for that matter, just the install especially I had no help , my body ached for a couple days, shows Im not conditioned at all.

I want some where did u get them how much how fast is shiping?

Got mine from upscaleautomotive for about for around 800ish just ask for a discount code. I live overseas so shipping is prolly double than the mainland but basically everything together they express mailed it for 980.00. Theres a for sale thread where RED is selling them also.
