Finally got mine on yesterday. Put the camber kit on and got an alignment. I am getting a clicking sound from the driver front other than that they are awesome. How can I get the noise to stop?

This goes out to everyone pming me about these coilovers:

Please stop asking me the same questions that are already answered in this thread or the suspension forum such as:
"how do you like them"
"what is preload"
"how do you adjust the height"
"what's the bolt size difference in the 03+ Civics and which bolts are affected"
"how do you install coilovers"
"do I need a camber kit"
"do I need an alignment after I install"
"what's an alignment"
"what's a coilover"
"how do you like them"
"how do you like them, REALLY"
"I need to be spoonfed even more, come on, how do you REALLY like them"

FACK man, it's the same pm from different people every freakin day. I LIKE the Megans, you CAN go pretty low, the ride is stiff but just fine, and they're easy to adjust. I mean, I posted this thread up so the answers could all be found in the same place and people either refuse to read or refuse to believe what's been typed. Search, damn you, it's only a few pages of the SAME thread!

SO does every one on this thread that has them like them as much as Telly? Do any of you have any thing bad to say about this set up? besides the clunking sound i guess that comes with getting the pillow ball upper mount. I see that the people that don't have them or never tried them are the only ones that say they are crap. Can those of you that have them and haven't posted your experience with the coilovers do so( ups and downs about them).within a day or 2 i will be purchasing a set of coilovers.its between these and the progress. and the pic of these actually look like better Quality

Between the two if I had the money I'd get Progress. I mean don't get me wrong I love my Megans but I went into this on only a couple of testimonials on the RSX and 240 applications, just like I did with Hayame and look how THOSE turned out. I can count myself lucky that I went with Megan this time, they're a good coilover for the street. Progress is proven as a name brand, and I've never ever heard of any of their products being inferior in any way.

It's one thing to big up your setup, it's another to recognize when something out there is better than what you have and help someone who has the resources to get that better product. Lots of people on car forums need to realize this. Also, since I helped you buy a better product, you probably have more money than me. Please send me cash so I can buy a Buddy Club short shifter, lol.

This question goes out to all with their megans pretty low in the rear... I adjusted all four corners earlier this week. The fronts have 8 threads left and the rears have 10 threads left. I attepted to do both rears with 8 threads left as well but they both seemed to get stuck at 10 threads on both sides. My question is... Do I have to mess with the preload settings to get a bit lower in the rears? Did any of you run into this issue when lowering your rears?
