Coilover install
Coilover install
Ok so I bought some H&R coilovers last week from a vendor for a good price. They should be arriving today and I want to install them myself.
Before I go any further does anyone have experience or feeback on these. I was told they were like tein basics except better(mono-tube design) also when comparing the images to these of other similarly priced coils the H&R look a though there missing something. Do you guys suggest any better coils for around 700-800. I'm looking to get the best bang for my buck and was even considering a cup kit instead. Any thoughts are welcome.
Will I need to purchase anything else besides an aligment? Any special tools needed besides a set of wrenches a toque wrench and a floor Jack? Thanks in advance guys. You'll probably tell me to search but I even used google and all I got was a complicated process for a evo 8.

What's popular doesn't mean it's worth owning to those that know what separates one suspension product from another. So often, it's based on price. Your KW variant 3's (listed in your sig) and the H&R both benefit from German engineering in materials and valving, rarely do Japanese and especially Taiwanese dampers compare on the dyno.

2. In the strongest terms possible, NO!!!
3. Cup Kit? Only thing I can think of that can be defined as that, but never actually named that would be the D-spec shock and spring kit or the S-tune suspension. Best bang for the buck is the carefully researched kit that actually deliver's based on what you want's and needs are at the lowest price.

^^^ As I have posted before, to anyone bringing up Megan Racing coilovers, do not purchase them.
^ My reply in the same thread. \l/
If the coilovers are going to be used mainly for street, the Megans are surprisingly pretty good for the price. They also allow for a lot of ride adjustment if you like dropping your car. I would recommend looking for a low mileage set that usually runs in the $500 range since a lot of people are afraid to buy the Megan name on this part. Anyways, good luck.
:icon8: I was given a set by the Manufactuer at their request for the purpose of generating a review.They are awfull, horribly underdamped, especially in the front. I extensively tested them on all the damper settings, at no point at any setting, could they be called ideal or acceptable. I refused to pawn them off on another owner until I purchased softer front springs and tested them. They now belong to another owner who is happy with the softer front spring setup. BcRacing makes them, and yet BcRacing claims they are awfull only because Megan specs them that way, so it has nothing to do with materials and any lack of talent on their part,...right.
