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.

Ok thats sure, the vantages of megans are obvious...springs are not that advantage, to set a track car good u must have more than one spring set...I'm just trying to know trdproven, did u tested if the same setting is the same softness on every piece? Cuz if the advantage of more regulations could not be that much if the same level doesn't match with the same softness on every shock absorber
