Megan Suspension Bars

I have the oppurtunity to purchase a MEGAN upper front strut bar, MEGAN lower rear tie bar, and MEGAN rear strut bar for $75 installed. Im pretty sure that this is a steal I just wanted to know what you guys thought.

i'd say it's a decent improvement for the cash compared to spending a few hundred bucks more for the same parts from another company!

You'll feel the most improvement from the front upper bar. Turns will feel a little better because the car isn't flexing up front as much. The rear lower is pretty much decoration IMO, and I don't really know about the rear upper cause I haven't had one on my car in a long long time.

**I don't think the Megan will fit with a CAI by the way, just in case you're planning on an intake soon or already have one**

It'll fit with the Injen CAI. Has a 90 degree bend as it comes off the throttle body.

Put it this way, Chassis reinforcements will make the car "feel" better, but will have relitivly little effect on the oversteer/understeer balance of the car. dont get me wrong here, they are great to have as they do help the suspenion to work better, but if you are trying to reduce understeer there are other parts that will have a much greater effect on the acutal handling of the car then a chassis reinforcement.

shocks, springs and anti-roll bars...

see, in order to tweak the handling balance of the car, you need to tweak a couple of things, 1. How much weight gets transfered durring at turn (via: Ride height, track width, phisical wieght) 2. how quickly wight gets transfered (via: Dampers AKA: Shocks) and 3. where the weight gets transfered to (via: Springs and anti-roll bars).
