So I just picked up a set of Megan street coilovers from Henry@Statik and installed them today. I had some trouble but overall there were no major problems.

I had no clue what my ride height would be so I just winged it. The ride height after I was done was almost no different from before (stock suspension with Tein S techs). The fronts are slightly higher than the rear but tomorrow I'm gonna go back in and slam the whole thing. I'm still sort of confused about how to adjust the height when the coils are on the car? It was really easy when they were off. Any help guys? And yes, I have read the manual, which sucks and has spelling errors and appears to be poorly translated- very hard to understand at times.

The rear has an adjustable shock ride height as does the spring mount. Which one do I adjust? (manual says the spring hi-low kit but wont this put undue pressure on the strut at all times?

Also, I didn't get a camber kit yet and I am still on stock 17's. I want to get one but I don't want to drill in my sub frame. Is there a way to get a camber/toe kit and not drill (I want my camber to be at the very most -2 degrees, and my toe to be as close to perfect as possible)?

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance and I'll post pics soon!

 

I would suggest going to a suspension shop and have them adjust it and get an alignment. A few shops around me do it for like 50-100 bucks shouldnt be to much.

 

I figured out to how to adjust height. It's easy but takes a long time to lower a couple of centimeters. The front is slammed and I'm going to attempt to do the rears without taking off the wheels. I'll post pictures later today of my drop. Can anybody help me with the camber kit issue?

 

im not to sure but i got spc front and rear camber kit and i didnt have to drill anything. so im not to sure what you are referring too, the spcs are good too =D

 

Ok, good. I hear that for more extreme camber adjustments, there is some drilling involved to widen the whole and give you more room.

 

ohh yeah also for the spc front camber kit think there are spacers or something you can add so you can have a broader range to adjust with, not to sure though because i didnt have to use it but i know g35papa did i believe.

 

Here are some pics of the drop.
I think I went to low because I think I'm bottoming out or something. I hear these scraping sounds when turning hard and fast. Also, I can no longer park in my garage because I can't get up my driveway anymore









I still need a camber kit so if anyone has one for sale, please pm me!

 

Can one of the mods move this to media share?
I originally planned it as more of a tech question but decided to just post pics (with one small tech question). Thanks!

 

looks so good!

but unless you live on an airport runway, i'd raise it.

 

drop looks good. jus raise it a tad bit so u dont scrape that much

 

Looks really good. Any pics of your car while it was on the S Techs??

 

for the spc camber kits, you have to elongate the rear toe bolt hole, but its not that big of a deal. Its for adjustments of the toe, so how do you expect to adjust if there are no room to.

For the front, you get the a-arms and also shim kits that are angled to adjust your spindle and your calipers. You will need both the shim kits and the a-arms installed to get your alignment back close to factory specs juding by your ride height. They come in the same kit so you dont have to purchase separately.

the entire front and rear kit costs $525 shipped from THMotorsports (sponsor).

Your drop is fine! I get up the steepest driveways I had the same wheel setup you did, just get a camber kit. Angling is key when driving lowered cars

 

But when I angle it I almost always get 3-wheel action and I loose traction. My traction control 'slip' light comes on and I sometimes just sit there, helpless. To help myself out, I put the front coils on the stiffest setting and the rears and medium (it's not that bad at all since they're streets). If I dial back this negative camber that I have to something closer to stock specs, would the car be raised at all? Doesn't more positive camber (up to 0 degrees of course) = higher ride height?
