I've heard bad things about Megan's for the tC. Idk who has them, I've never been in a tC with them, but I've just heard that they are prone to blowing pretty quickly.

I couldn't take any today on a count of the rain you see in the pics haha. After I lower the back tomorrow I'll be sure to get some. The fronts are maxed and I'm about a half inch higher then I was on my B&Gs.

Thanks Jasper, I've done more research on them, and pretty much every review I found backs up what you've heard. I'm now looking into FnF typeII coilovers. They're a bit more expensive but so far I've been seeing good feedback.

^No, at least not for the tC, yet they advertise them for some other car applications.

Seemed the rears didn't go low enough for his liking. I think a shorter spring would have taken care of that though.

^ I think he was on the edge of parting out. He was going to buy my old Rokkors just have something to drop on. I think he went to F&F because he's slowly getting back into the game. I'm sure he'll chime in, though.

^ yep Jasper is correct lol. I parted out and went from really close to selling, to saying wellll let me keep it but lower it on something so it isnt sky high, to hmm this is a good time to go in a new direction with the car.

If i could have snagged B&Gs again I would have but I got a good deal on the F&Fs. I tried locating a shorter rear spring when I had them but B&G uses the shortest available after searching through sprint, eibach, and tein. Im satisfied with the F&F drop but for anyone wanting to go as low on these all you need is a shorter spring up front.

Side shots coming soon, weather has been ____ty all weekend so I still didnt get to lower the rear.

I emailed BC and seems they have a shorter spring that'll work with B&G. It is true that B&G uses the shortest spring they offer for the rear for the tC.

That's pretty cool, I hadn't even thought about checking with BC. One guy on here actually just cut about an inch of the rear threaded mount at the bottom, and his rears were ridiculous.
