How do the megan springs feel? I was kinda iffy cause their so cheap, not saying cheap isn't good. I'm planning to drop in a month.

I broke my digital camera so i wont be able to have any pictures soon.
After the springs and i changed my tire size from 205/60 to 205/50 rim size 15inch. the car itself is sitting quite low has a nice stand. sadly due to the small 15nch rims i have a clear wheel gap. but the suspension feels really good and holds really well on turns. |

Awesome, these are very inexpensive springs, so if they perform good i think i might go with them as well!
Do you mind if i ask you how much you paid and where? For the springs.. -------------------- ◊◊◊ My F/S Thread! ◊◊◊

I have the same setup. Been using them for 6 months. Good stance , about 2 finger gaps in front and back. My front seems to be making clunking noises. Any ideas?

Springs with shipping where 133dollars cause i lived close to the store. I got the shocks from ebay.
Regarding your clunking, most of the time when there is clunking it is either a blown shock or a broken strut mount. most likely the strut mounts are bad. |

Or, the spring is not sitting properly. that price is dirt cheap.

I just put some of these springs on myself. Thanks Salica, I wouldn't have known they existed if not for this thread.
I got them for $102 on upscale automotive and it was like $120 shipped to my door.  They are very comfy springs! Front gap  Rear gap  Overall..

If i had to say how they feel though, i'd say slightly firmer than stock. QUOTE (SoDo @ Apr 4, 2009 - 8:25 PM) Recent pics samir? I'll get some soon.

hey Kamax, do some research on lowering springs stiffness rate. my don't know about how stiff these megan springs are.
I have tanabe df210, pretty low drop. and i wouldn't want to go any stiffer. order from stiff-stiffer, tanabe df210, tanabe gf210, and tien s springs. tien are really stiff from i've heard sorta like coilovers.... -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

QUOTE (Megan Racing) Megan Racing springs are made with "SAE 9254," the strongest material from Japan. Our new material will offer a stronger product that is lightweight and corrosion-protected with its phosphate and powder coatings. The result is a spring that specifically offers racecar handling, yet maintains smooth and comfortable ride characteristics. Carefully matched springs rates provide exceptional handling, response, control and balance. Springs lower approximately 2" Front & 1.75" Rear. The lowered center of gravity improves performance and increases stability, as well as enhancing the appearance of the vehicle. Spec: - Color: Orange - Lower rate: 2" Front, 1.75-2" Rear - Springs rate: 300F & 250R - MSRP: $149 rates r what I'm looking for, but that's just my personal preference/goal. I'll check Ground Control rates, but then again, you can request spring rates for little to no extra charge. EDIT: When you order G.C.'s you request your rates, or you can just tell them what kinda driving you do.
