I just got lowered!! **PICS**
 
These are prototype springs.. I am just testing them on my car to see how they look.. and obviously, the front is not low enough, and the back is a little too low. I am fixing the problem though.. This is how it looks like right now..

This is the wheel gap in the rear.

This is the wheel gap in the front.

Honest opinions are appreciated. Thanks :love:

Good drop on the rear, but it looks like stock height up front.

TheQuietThings 07-12-2006 08:07 AM

well, most front springs comes a little bit stiffer than the rear because the front of the car weighs so much more than the rear. Give the front a week or 2 and itll drop considerably.

Looks awesome though! good job.

lol.. they are test-springs.. Not for sale. I put them on my car to see how they would look and what i could change with them.. Therefore, i am going to drop the front more and then see what happens..

Mr_Meaty 07-12-2006 09:46 PM

Testing for who? Who makes the springs?
I agree with what you said...the back is just slightly to low, especially if they are not fully settled, and the front looks stock.

NoLimitzBuilt 07-12-2006 10:05 PM

Who is the maker of the springs?

the front does look stock height. while the back looks good..

BlkTC 07-13-2006 05:31 AM

The maker is megan racing.. I had to test out the springs they had so we can decide what to do to make them better.. well.. the front is 3 finger gap.. while the back is nice and tucked...

TCUL8TR 09-13-2006 11:16 PM

yeah, these springs f#@k!ng suck. i have the same issue. They have to be tired of hearing from me by now. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...08_40_full.jpg

these blow lol

Harshaw 09-14-2006 12:02 AM

get s-techs

Lil_Deuce_tCoupe 09-14-2006 12:07 AM

Sure there just isn't a 'calorically challenged' body or two sittin' in the back? :ponder:

TCUL8TR 09-14-2006 12:14 AM

I only have between an extra 26lbs and 10lbs sittin in my back ;) depends on how good of a day it's been

BlkTC 09-14-2006 02:11 AM

lol... wow.. Honestly, I WOULD NOT recommend these springs to ANYONE!! GET S-TECHS!! heh... Megan Racing hasn't returned my phone call yet either!!

Mr_Meaty 09-14-2006 02:41 AM

Someone actually BOUGHT these? I thought you were testing them. And obviously, the testing phase was not finished.
If their springs are really like this, I would loose confidence in their coilovers as well.

TCUL8TR 09-14-2006 02:57 AM

so they're jerkin you around too? they'll answer any question as long as it's not a "tech support" question.. then they got $h!t to do or they're not there... good secretary!

BlkTC 09-14-2006 04:47 AM

well.. I wouldn't say anything about their secretary... She's flippin hot dude.. I went by to get them installed and stuff.. They said they had to fix the front, still haven't gotten a reply from them.. it's been 3 months or so.. They kept on saying next week.. They only thing i like from MR would probably be their drift spec cat back. My cousin got coilovers from megan, and they pop and make weird noises.. But they handle reaaaaaallyyyy well! so.. yeah.. I'll keep you updated as long as I am updated..

Prototype_xB 09-14-2006 09:07 AM

looks like your hauling a fat chick in the cargo area.....

Prototype_xB 09-14-2006 09:09 AM

if they'd drop the front even with the back then heck yeah, they'd rock with adjustable camber links

TCUL8TR 09-14-2006 03:39 PM

nah, if they dropped the front to match the rear you'd be poppin some tires. Every time I hit a little bump the rear tires hit the wheel wells really hard. The secretary might be hot but everytime i tell her i need to talk to tech support... he's out of the building... if ya know what i mean.
