Finally got my coilovers

I finally got my coilovers in and installed yesterday afternoon. I love the way the drop looks but I think it is a little too low for driving in my area. I think this is the drop I will use when at cruise ins and shows but not for the street. I will be fine tuning it tomorrow and will post picks again when I am finished. I also posted these in the suspension and brake forum but figured I would post them here to just since it is sedan specific.

Please excuse the dirtiness it has rained all week and I have not had a chance to wash her yet.

Yes guys they are the Megan Street LP series. So far the ride is great. I have not put many mines on them yet because I think the drop is a little low and I have some rubbing issues in the front. I will be lifting it up about 1/2" in the front and a 1/4" in the back tomorrow. I hope to have some spirited mountain runs in the next week or so. I will report back and let you all know how the performance of the setup is.

Oh and yes these are on the lowest setting.

GTR this is the lowest that it will go. Megan has a 4 1/2" adjustment which is one of the coilover sets that offer that much. The car is LOW the pics do not do it justice.

Papa I would leave it if I it was drivable. But every little bump, rock or anything in the road has me bottoming out and makes me cringe eveytime. Plus I don't think it will drive well in the mountains this low. Tomorrow I will lift her back up to a good height. Before I lift it I will get some more pics with her a shiney

This only Brings back the memories good and bad haha.

Slammed my transmission mount into to many intersections.

If you can clear a coke can on its side then your not low enough.
