hmmm, sounds good, I may have to take you up on that offer. I currently have a set of GCs/Konis... and was planning pn getting stiffer spring rates and some kind of front camber plates but that all together is another 600CDN with shipping maybe more...plus I called Koni and they said there is no where to revalve shocks in Canada...so i might as well go for a full coilover system with camber plates since i cant take advantge of koni servicing anyways...so i'm looking around...but thanks for your offer. cya at DKN

Rep Power: 0 yeah, Megan isnt as cheap as people like to think. Its not cheap knock-off stuff. Their products have much better quality than every knock off on e-bay, and better than some name brand crap.
My friend has a lot of Megan Racing ****, headers/exhaust, they sound very nice. Least unricey sound Ive ever heard on a vic with i/h/e. Very clean sound usually civics/acuras are loud and ANNOYING with all 3.

Yet another tiny update...I was waiting in line in this dance school's fundraiser car wash thingy this morning and I decided to fuqq around with these things again. Before they got to my car I popped the hood and folded the seats down, then turned the damping adjuster knobby 3 clicks harder all around on each corner. After my car was dried, I opened it up a bit around some corners on the way to the barbershop...I'm over the halfway point between full hard and full soft, and the cornering was gorgeous. The only thing complaining was my balding rubber, and I was getting up to 60 km/h around a couple of wide ones.
My elbow is a little bruised from banging up against my door, and I'm sure I've taken a month off my tires' lifetime, but it was very fun and these coilovers really inspire all sorts of confidence around those turns. I've sacrificed a noticable amount of comfort between now and when I first installed them though, having only gone stiffer with every adjustment. I've been getting back pains from an incident a month ago, and this isn't helping, so I'm probably going to soften it right back up this weekend.
Was it wrong to enjoy having my car washed by scantily-clad dancer jailbait?

Rep Power: 0 i guess if people still want reviews on these i'll post mine up... although i only had them for 6 months before i started to part my car to stock, these were great coilovers...
greatly improved handling and they felt like they were top quality... i had my car SLAMMED on them (tuckin 16's) and i never had a problem, the ride wasn't too rough either...i wouldn't hesitate to buy them again

Rep Power: 368 If the tie rod was angled up too high then you must be slamming the car way too far down. I had mine set pretty low and my tie rods are still fine up front.
all i got to say is WOW i put these on last night and went for a quick ride becaues my car is not alined yet and these megans are great, it so much more stiffer than my old setup and i have it set to full soft right now i fell so much more in control, i still half to play with the ride hight i need to rase the back one finger gap and lower the front more.
i have a fealing im going to have fun on the mountian runs much more than my last set up
i have a Q? do i just take it to any alinment shop to get it ailned b/c it has camber plats or do i need to find one that works with camber plats.
let me know thanks
