Megan Racing Coil-Over Dampers are the ultimate upgrade to your track or street car. Featuring 32 Levels of damper force adjustment, full-height adjustment, these damper kits are then perfectly matched with front and rear Pillow Ball upper mounts for camber correction in most applications.

The adjustment of the damper is as simple as can be with a built-in knob at the top of the damper mount for easy access. Simple adjustments can be made to tune to your style of driving and comfort level desired. Single-Adjustable dampers make suspension adjustments easy to tune whether you're a professional mechanic or an automotive enthusiast with amateur mechanical skills.

The height adjustment is made easy with CNC-Machined locking perches for accuracy and smooth adjustment. You can raise your car up to factory height for OEM appearance with performance handling or you can drop your car all the way down for a formal racetrack and an aggressive stance lowering your center of gravity to gain full potential of your car's handling capabilities.

On most applications, the Megan Racing Damper Kits come with fully adjustable Pillow-Ball upper mounts to easily tune and adjust your camber. Adjustable camber gives you an edge on most suspension setups, as you can easily tune your car for any ride height which improves handling, predictability and furthermore tire wear, which is a great benefit both on the racetrack and on the street.

The quality and durability of the Megan Racing Damper kits are unmatched. Made of extremely durable Steel and featuring springs that are constructed of SAE-9254 Cold-Wound Steel which are then tested over 500,000 times by compression inspection. With deformation less than 5% and high strength sophisticated surface coating, Megan Racing stands by their product with a strong warranty.

^ Just ghetto-rig it.

I still don't understand aha. It's hard for me to visualize

i dont have any pics handy but ur brake line goes through a small slot on the coilover but it doesnt work well i guess on the megans a zip tie would be fine to keep it in place

[SwissFerdi]

I still don't understand aha. It's hard for me to visualize

There's a bracket on the strut where the brake line would usually mount to. The bracket is there, but the hole (or space to mount to) is entirely too big, and therefore, the line cannot be secured.

[HectortheRican]

I see, so from what I understand, you string the zip tie through the whole that's too big and secure the brake line right on top of the bracket?

[SwissFerdi]

I would assume so, yes. My struts have the appropriate bracket, so I didn't have to mess with this (not badmouthing Megan).

[96stgreendemon]

so are these shipping out to us this week?

[HectortheRican]

I called Megan and talked to Jose like upscale said, and he said they'd most likely be at the facility on July 8th or 9th and to avoid further delay, they'll ship them directly to us instead of sending them to upscale then to us. Plus our orders are way high up there, we'll definitely get ours.

[upscaleauto]

You can see what I am referring to in the photo below. Basically, the bracket that is attached to the factory brake line doesn't match up perfectly to the mounting point on the MR coilovers. You can attach them using bolts, just not the factory bolts since the MR mounting holes are threaded differently. Also, the brackets will be in a slightly different position than factory, so it creates less 'slack' in the brake line if you mount the brake line up to the MR coilover mounting bracket using a bolt. Therefore, zipties are an alternative solution, though not recommended long-term. Long-term, we recommend the stainless steel braided Techna-Fit brake lines to replace the factory lines and mounting them properly to the MR coilover mounting brackets. Hope this makes sense!

[HectortheRican]

Thank you very much, I understand now. But in the picture, why is the wheel so close to the coilover? And how long are the zipties recommended for? Because I don't have that much money right now

The wheel is so close to the coilover in that photo because the wheels are not the ideal offset. They are WRX offset, so they are closer to the strut than typical Celica wheels would be. They are also 8" wide, so between the offset and the width they are a tight fit. Maybe some of the other members with these coilovers can post photos of their wheel fitment, I would bet there is much more clearance than in our pics.

The zipties can stay on as long as they don't break, so basically that just means to use some high quality zipties and check to be sure they are in good shape every once in awhile and replace them when needed. The car pictured still has the zipties on and its been months, no problems and the zipties are still holding strong.

Finally, depending on how low you drop the car you will need a little or a lot of camber adjustment in the rear. I describe this earlier in the thread. On the car pictured, we used two sets of Eibach camber bolts in the rear to correct the camber. The front doesn't need camber bolts because it has camber-adjustable upper mounts built-in, which is great!

Not sure if you are planning to install yourself or not, but don't let these little things about the brake line mounts and camber adjustment worry you. These are very minor and easily correctable. If you take these coilovers to a suspension shop for installation, they will undoubtedly be very impressed with the quality and fit of these coilovers.

[whatthe]

@HectortheRican: As a user of coilovers (BC) dont let these little thing like the brake line affect the purchase. I have mine ziptied to the brake line. Well actually i have 4 ziptied to the mount. If you have a look at my build thread you can see pics, but just like upscale was saying, just gotta check it every once in a while

[HectortheRican]

Don't worry guys, I still want the coilovers just as much as I did initially. I just wanted to know if I'd have to do any extra stuff, ya know? And I was debating whether to get the camber bolts on your site, would you absolutely recommend them? I'm looking to have a 2-ish inch drop. Also, I have 7.5" wide tires with a 45mm offset. Is that too close?

I believe the wheels in the pic are 8" and +35 or +38 offset, so you should be fine on clearance. I would recommend ordering two sets of the rear camber bolts from our site. Definitely good to have them on hand to avoid delaying the installation waiting on them to arrive to you in case you end up needing them and didn't order them to begin with. I say to order two sets to ensure you can adjust enough based on the experience with the Celica pictured. On that car, it took two sets of camber bolts in the rear set to max positive camber to achieve the right specs.

How low was the car dropped and are the camber bolts in stock?
And here's a reallllly important question. If I change the shipping address, will it in any way affect how soon they get to me?

I can't remember the exact lowering height. I think I posted it awhile back though. The lowering wasn't too extreme though due to the restrictions in the wheel clearance that we were just posting about. The camber bolts are not stock, they are made by Eibach and sold on our site at http://www.UpscaleAutomotive.com. They go in the factory knuckle bolt holes, the two large mounting bolts at the bottom of the coilovers. There are a total of 4 knuckle bolts in the rear. One set of camber bolts will replace only 2 of those bolts, so for maximum adjustability you would need two sets of camber bolts to replace all 4 knuckle bolts. Hope this makes sense!

Changing shipping address shouldn't delay shipment, but since these are shipping straight from MR, I would advise against changing the address if possible. Just trying to avoid any confusion since MR is shipping them out and not us. Of course, I would be glad to make the address change request with MR if you'd like and it should work without a hitch. Just let me know.

It's fine, but would you happen to know what carrier they use? And I know the camber bolts aren't stock, I was wondering if you HAD them in stock, like would I have to wait at all?

Megan Racing ships via FedEx.

Sorry I misunderstood about the camber bolts stock question! We have 4 sets in stock as of today.

Alright, I'll have to leave FedEx a note to leave the coilovers in my backyard because I won't be home the week that they said they'll more than likely be at my door and I don't want them just sitting on my doorstep. I got into a fender bender and bent my strut so I'm reaaaally needing these ASAP and since I won't drive my car with the bent strut (uneven tire wear), I'm stuck at my grandparents' house because I have no other way to get to work and they live close to my job.

Also, I just placed my order for the Eibach camber bolts.
