i was looking to lower my car but not sure of what to get can someone help me out. Are the megan racing ones worth getting or should i just get some other ones?

 

look into tein, bc, or stance...

 

ahhh ahh chuuuu! search my friend SEAARCH there is an extensive array of different kinds of information on this site, use your searching abilities

 

Im getting a set of tein flex coilovers with edfc ftw!

 

^ Tein Flex FTW!! I love mine!!

 

I've heard really good things about the Tein. I think Accordfreak put them on at stock height for a while and even then it greatly reduced his body roll.

 

I drove my buddys G with the tiens and hotchkis sways it that thing rode on rails! which is why im taking it off his hands

 

Ha nice bro. How stiff was the ride compared to stock? Not like the body roll, just how violent it is over bumps and such.

 

Ill tell you man the edfc was set on a soft setting and it rode just as well if not maybe a lil better than my stock suspention. all depends on how you set it up. of course if you slam it and kiss the ground on the stiffest setting its not gonna feel anything like that lol

 

you'll have to get a test drive to determine if a set of coilovers suits you. i had a set of buddy clubs on my wrx and they felt like the struts seized. i couldn't adjust it to get any cushion out of them. although they reduced body roll to almost feeling zero, it replaced that with quality ride.

hit up some local meets and ask someone to give you a ride. although ride height, camber, wheels, and dampening can change a lot of things so keep that in mind.

 

if ur looking to spend less i would say bc racing cuz u have to keep in mind once u drop ur car u will need to get camber kits unless u have the money to spend into tires. bc racing will cost u around 1,000 compared to tien flex which is almost 2g. the ride with the bc racing is pretty good and IMO its worth the money.

 

the megan one look good also but im still deciding also

 

i was gonna get megan coilovers but then i got some BC coilovers and i love them.

 

Since we are on the topic of coilovers here, here is my question: On a drop with just springs alone and on stock shocks, many cars, including my G35, tend to bottom out at high speeds over very small bumps, due to now shorter spring and the reduced travel of the shock. Would this same thing be experienced with coilovers, or would it go away?

 

Even with setups that adjust height via spring preload, I don't see that as a issue at min preload or max drops. What doesn't help, is the lack of details, like what setups have shorter case and piston rod lengths. It also should be said, that many aftermarket spring choices feature spring rates that don't help the suspension stay off of the bump stops and the oem shock valving doesn't help either.

Coilovers that adjust height by full height adjustablity*, are a non issue since piston travel is alway's kept the same.

*Stance coilovers all have full height adjustablity, however certain model's add a helper spring on the front, if you were to use the helper spring as intended, bump travel would be reduced.
