sooo i just got a megan coilover and i wanna know if anyone has them on or had them on and i wanna know what number is best on adjustablity and such.. how long did they last you? etc.. and also how useful are the front strut bars?

 

My cousin has megan coilovers on his MR2, its been over a year and it's still holding up. He doesn't baby the car either, he pushes it to the limit. He loves them and I plan on getting those for my Tc.

 

oooo very nice! mmm anyone else have any reviews about megan coilovers? what number is the best adjustment for dd? etcc

 

sorry but a lot of people here will probably tell you the megan coils are not so good.

 

oh why is that?

 

I have had mine for over a year. They are very good coilovers, but they had some issues in the beginning. Make sure your springs say 162.150.06 or youwill have issues with bottoming out. Also, if you want them to go low, you have to remove the adjusting collars before installing.

 

mmm i seee. what if the springs are those numbers? do i have it changed by megan or what? and what do u mean by if i want to go low? how low are we speaking? i have stock wheels and i just want no gap between the car and the stock tires.

 

If you have the springs mentioned above, your good to go. If not, you need to contact Megan and get them. Since they put the longer springs in the back, it doesn't lower as much, but you should be ok.

 

Got them...





I usually leave them on the softest setting for daily driving, but turn up the stiffness when I'm in a sporty mood, but be prepared... the stiffer settings are MUCH stiffer... we're talkin' - "track only" - stiffer !!!

 

hmmm i bought mine from ross on scionlife and he told me he had the springs changed already and the numbers arnt what u posted above..

and sciontisical one what is ur height adjusted too and ur whats the soft setting? with the soft setting would u be able to make turns with out having body rolls? what is ur number from 1-32 adjustments or w/e ?

 

if you don't have those numbers on those springs, check the box... they might be in the box... mine came with six springs... one pair for the front, and two pairs for the rear... the rears were different spring rates.

my settings are usually at the "1" setting most of the time... sway bars will do a better job to reduce your body roll... but the stiffer settings on the coilovers will give you better response in the handling department.

the stiffer settings make the car a pain to drive on bad roads and freeways that have potholes. you REALLY have to slow down for train tracks and big dips. like I said... the stiffer settings is really only good for sporty driving (on a track).

 

so ur front and ur rears are all set to 1 on damper thing? i just had mine installed today and my rear ones i had to take off the red rings to have it installed. and the guy i bought it from aka ross told me that he changed the rear springs and i need to compress it. but i didnt compress it and just had it installed and now my front is pointing down and my rear is up like a stock... do you think it will settle down by any time soon? :X

and once again u set everything to 1? cause mines like on 16-20 and i noticed its loud ___ hell going on crappy roads...

 

yeah, turn down the damper settings to the lowest softest setting and start from there... but if this is your daily driver, you'll want to leave it there... I'd only turn it up on a track or smooth roads.

 

You need to remove both rings for the rear to go down. You also need the strut screwed all the way down into the base. They do settle a bit after a few days of driving. Sounds like you need to lift the front quite a bit too. They are hard to get right, but work well when it's done.

 

I had problems with my rear going low but I got the new version now and currently have no problems

 

Really, what's the new version? Did they redo the entire rears?

 

ey anthony could u post the number of the rear springs that u got replaced with?

 

Good for the track but not for the street. I had the first one to come out had then in my tC for 2 days.

 

mmm what was wrong with it that u didnt like it? im still switching damp to see whats the best number on the street..

 

Well when I went to megan they gave me a new springs, and new idk what there called..the little chrome thing on the bottom..the new springs say 150L-KG old ones say 62 180 008 and I also put a stiffer spring on the fronts..i love my coilovers ;)
