I am not trying to start a flame war at all...

I don't understand why they are underdampered if you can adjust it...? As for over sprung, I don't know so I can't comment. They are 10kg in the front and 8kg in the rear. I've seen others that are 12/10.

To me, they feel fine. I set the damper alittle too aggressive for long highway trips but I only commute 5 miles to work so it's fine for now.

I got mine from We Sell Car Parts (Dan's a great guy to work with) for just under $895 (I purchased 3 things from Megan so I got a discount). Took about 30 minutes for each side in the rear and maybe an hour for each side in the front.

Feeling much better thanks to the rest from the day off today - thanks Bush for visiting us and having them close all the roads. I will measure the gap tomorrow and decide how low I want to go.

Regarding camber kits, aside from SPC (I've heard mixed reviews about them), what are the top quality camber kits available.

In the case of the Megans, at lower dampning settings, too much movement is allowed for the sake of delivering so called ride comfort, it's what I ment by being underdampned, not enough control from the dampners. Problem starts to get resolved as you get within 6 clicks of full stiff. Thing is, their is no happy ground, at lower settings you don't have enough control, at higher settings to get ride motion's in check you end up exerting too much control and performance still ends up suffering. Either the valving lack's proper R&D or poor internal construction is to blame, that or both. I wasn't being picky when I pulled them from the car, their are certain elements that make for proper control, the Megan's lack that in a big way. I don't work for a reseller so I'm not trying to steer anyone towards something else, however their are other products that yes to cost more that deliver where the Megan product does not run them instead and you will come to understand how they are lacking.

I currently have SPC, but if I could do it over again, I would get Stillen. BTW, Eibach = SPC.
