Usually with lowering springs you don't need to compress them depending on my drop. With my stechs I barely needed to compress them and these are the smallest drop springs you can get so it makes sense that you didn't have to compress them due to shorter springs.
Just a warning though, if you are lowerin on stock struts, they'll blow shortly. Not sure how low the Megan springs are but my struts only lasted a couple months. So be prepared to have to replace them at some point in time if you're not planning to do them now -------------------- -Protection mode, For when your amp tries to blow its load. 1995 Toyota Celica GTS - Daily Driver 1999 Chevy Cavalier - Winter Beater 1994 Honda Civic CX Hatchback - Dead My Celica! |
