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.

Your right about damper settings between different brands, types, but like i said between the two, even tein at full stiffness is still too soft for me, i thought my friend adjusted it to the softest but he had it had the hardest setting. but that is not just it, by having 32 way adjustability, major advantage is the ability to fine tune. Do I make any sense?

I think what he is saying is that he has heard that the valving on the shocks are all different, so in order for people to get the same dampening effect on each corner they had to adjust the dampner settings. He is also saying that he heard not all dampners are created equal. The stiffness of one unit at level 6 could be equal to level 16 on another, and so on.

I will tell you that no manufacturer would let something like that slip through QA. Unless another variable had been altered (spring travel) you can be sure that a level 14 dampner setting on one strut is a level 14 on all of them.

I agree with your last paragraph, that was what I meant about consistency.
