Default Megan Lowering Springs Anyone?? Skunk 2 Springs anyone??

So I did a serach and couldn't find anybody with Megan's Lowering springs for our car. On Megan's site it claims to be 2.0" front and rear, but then again they claimed their S pipe would fit without a problem too So if anyone has these how do you like them, and are you running wheels? If so, what size and offset?

Same questions as above except skunk2 springs. I can't seem to find any pictures or info on either one of these springs...

Both are recived rather bad on most scion forums. Skunk 2 is using celica springs/spring rates and the drop is way more than advertised (sp) Megan racing is having trouble getting their coil-overs to work right so i doubt these are right I would avoid them as well. Go Hotchkis.

yeah, don't buy megan springs. rear end... WAY lower than 2".. front end.. just perfect. I'm currently yelling at them every day trying to get them to give me better springs b/c about two months ago i didn't tell them i already had the springs and asked for pics and i got this reply, "we do not have any pictures right now as we are currently redesigning our scion tC lowering springs". Wonder if this has been a problem for alot of people. http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...08_40_full.jpg
Yeah, i'm not happy at all with the rear drop and they're too soft. Live and learn lol

Check out this post:

They really don't look good at all.
Are you looking for info on these just cause there isn't any, or are these the only 2 sets of springs you are considering?

i contacted skunk2 today about their tc springs. I think i'm going to switch to them. They're super stiff and for the drag strip, that's what i want. No weight transfer to the rear on launches. tech guy said they're 8kg/mm front and 6kg/mm rear. just wondering how harsh the ride is gonna be lol

yeah, i figured since they wanna fu#k me around, i can give them the worst rep possible on this website I'm a manager for a fortune FOUR yes i said FOUR... fourth best company in america to work for and if I did this ____ to one of my customers... i'd be collecting unemployment VERY fast. Another company I won't deal with is sportcompactonly. They gave me the run around for three months on a bodykit that I needed really fast b/c I split my stock front bumper. But that was a little bit of Extreme Dimensions' fault to so I can't totally hold them responsible. But Megan Racing.... NEVER again. As soon as I can find someone who has the Skunk2 springs and see how harsh the ride is... i'm getting those as long as they're not hoppin all over the place.

dude.. just stop getting springs, and get coilovers! i ordered my ksport coilovers from www.hpautoworks.com! they have really nice people working there, plus, prices are pretty low. If there is something you don't understand on the website, they'll help you out even call you back!
