Installing Megan Racing today and want to lower 1-2" front n rear. Anyone know a measurement between the spring and Hight adj nut to make an even drop?

 

^That IDK.

The best way to get things even at each corner is measuring from the center of the wheel straight up to the fender. Getting this done first try and calling it good is wishful thinking. You'll be setting the car on the ground and raising it up a few times to get it adjusted right. Do the measurement I mentioned before tearing the suspension out and you'll have a better gauge on how much you lower the car.

 

just count the threads....

 

Ok so howmany threads is a 2" drop?

 

Also the gap is different from the front coil and the rear coil.. I can get L-R But not F-R

 

The rear fender line is lower at the rear for most cars, I don't know reasons of that you'll have to get at the car designers lol. The instructions should have an intial start point of setting the coilovers, I'd recimmend starting there. If you do the measurement like I mentioned before the car will sit like you want. When all is said and done it's likely none of the thread counts will be the same. Set the fronts at an even count, rears at an even count, install, get the car on the ground, measure, raise car, adjust collars, lower car, measure again. If it still not how you want, raise up car and adjust the collars again.

 

this is why i choice springs over coilovers cause there a pinta

 

I got them on. Not lowered cus I know I need to drive em for a week to settle in. But will lowering the car affect the alignment? Should I lower before I align?

 

adjust the height as close as you can to your personal liking before any alignment. then after about 2-3 weeks after you've been driving around on your new setup, get an alignment.

 

It pulls pretty good to the right.. Nothing I can't control tho.. What about driving?, can I use the suspension like I planned or granny it for a few weeks?

 

^I don't see a reason you should have to "break in" coilovers. You can drive hard on them, the ride height should settle a bit lower as the springs settle.

 

Whats "a bit"? 1/4"?

 

Ok so here's the scoop.. All fender wells to the ground are within 1/8" to 25".. At proper tire pressure.

 

As a first time coilover owner I can say the overall performance is supreme compared to oem.. I have my damper set at 9 of 32. But want stiffer.. So 7 it is. However the springs are a bit, uhm springy?

 

I'd get an alignment done ASAP if you say the car is "pulling good to the right". No need for unnecessary tire wear, and with Firestone offering lifetime alignments you can go back in two weeks and get the alignment checked and adjusted if needed. Regarding the "springy" ride, how is the preload set? That affects the ride also.

 

The preload? What's that?

 

Here ya go

Oh god.. The guy I spoke with on the phone about my purchase said I can take them right out the box and install.. Does that mean they're already preloaded??? Wtf.. Can I adj them while on the car?

 

^You sure can adjust while they're on the car. Just make the measurement as mentioned on the link, if they're the same left to right then you should be good. If you want to go all out an loosen the top two perches and do the preload yourself that's cool too. It's always good to double check and make sure things are set right, it's just easier to do before anything is installed on the car.

 

Phew!! Sweet.. So ahh, when I losen them will one perch hold it from buckling? Or separate them slowly at the same time..
