Smile Megan Racing Springs (small write up) EM2

Hello everybody. Today I will be doing a small write up on Megan Racing Lowering Springs. They claim to lower the car by 1.5" all around. I had them installed on my 2001 Civic Si-g (for all the canadians eh!). Stock Shocks and struts ( only temporary ). Ive had these on for about 2 weeks now. I managed to pick these up for $150 Shipped. I think that Megan Racing Products are very under estimated. So far these springs have been great, Nice clean drop for my daily driver. These have a fairly soft spring rate (main reason I chose them). These springs feel a tiny bit stiffer then my stock springs. I feel a MUCH better improvement in handling. Absolutley no rubbing, or scraping of any sort. The only thing I would of liked to see is a slightly lower drop, like a 1.75". I would Highly Recommend these to anyone looking to get rid of major wheel gap on there daily driver, without sacrificing ride quality. And improve handling. Great Bang for your buck.

Thanks for this. I think I'm gonna seriously consider those over $220 Eibachs. $150 is much better for my wallet. And, these drop it the same amount I want.

Re: Megan Racing Springs (small write up) EM2

LOL, I am a student. This is my first car, I work part-time at tim hortons. All I was trying to say is that im glad I didnt pay $70-$100 more, when I didnt have to. Obvs Eibach is a much better company, and I didnt say it wasnt. I wasnt expecting a whole lot from these, because they were only $150 shipped. But I sure as hell got more then I thought I was going to.
