If your coils are brand spankin' new, coilover springs do settle as well. Some people say they don't, but mine looks like it sinked a bit more after the initial install(and mine wasn't new). With my perch rings off, I manage to get halfway of a 285/35r19 tire profile tucked in the fender and that's with the standard BC springs.

Nevertheless, Eventhough they're manufactured by the same, I'm not sure if Megans have similar specs to BC or how low Megans is capable of. You could try BC's shorter springs, but I would search around first to see how low other people have gotten with Megans specifically. I know nothing about Megans so I couldn't tell ya.

EDIT: it settles if you drive it around, i'm not sure if it does anything when it's parked. Also, if possible...take a pic of the coils and shocks. You never know, it may seem like everything is installed correctly but a second pair of eyes can definitely verify that.

do you have any idea what the spring rates are for the BC optional springs? i believe these are 10kg/mm Front & 8kg/mm Rear

last couple of posts in that thread said that they can go lower than what they have shown.

I'm telling you, you should take pics of your coils and shocks then post it up. We need to verify your install.

If you already removed both collars...you definitely did something wrong. With only one removed, my tire is fully tucked.
