ya he didnt add the spring rate for megan springs.
once somebody finds out the rate for the megan springs the list of the springs rates should be added to the suspension guide sticky http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=28249 -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

ya i guess megans are the stiffest springs for the 6gc, which is kinda interesting
you can convert rates on google too, just type in 300lbs/inch to kg/mm |

smkrw, do you have a picture before you installed the staggs and megans? It looks like you still have a gap and the megan springs were suppose to lower it 1.6 in the front and 1.5 in the rear. Just wondering if it was 4x4 before the new suspension.

These springs are stiff, meaning that they'll hold up the weight of the car well at first. They'll settle within a few months. The rear is very close to actual height and will only sink a half inch; the front should go down another inch, at least. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

I'll check in a few weeks on your review of the setup, might change my stagg/eibach setup to stagg/megan since it sits a bit lower.

QUOTE (Salica @ Feb 21, 2009 - 2:25 PM) 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. im going through this problem now, recently changed my sway bar link because this mechanic told me that was the problem and definitely wasnt.. -90$

Have a friend check with you, one bounce the car up and down on each corner and you'll be able to pinpoint what it is. How did he come to the conclusion it was the links.
