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.

Megan indeed is a lousy name but their products are amazing from suspension to performance parts especialy for their price.

the problem with coil sleeves/springs is that you adjust height by adjusting the spring load to make the springs tighter and closer. Problem with that is you jack up the spring rates and ride comfort. True coilovers adjust on the lower side, meaning it does not touch the spring load but adjusts by making the whole assembly shorter, thus you still have the lower ride height with the good ride comfort.
