Megan racing springs on GR2's, my new suspension Options

[Promasta]

teins are not very stiff, actually softer than stock in the rear
here are some spring rates:
stock: 2.9 kg/mm front, 2.3 rear
tein: 3.9f, 2.2r
df210: 3.1f, 2.8r
nf210: 2.9f, 2.3r
gh210: 3.5f, 3.0r
TRD: 4.1f, 2.9r

gh210: 3.5f, 3.0r
TRD: 4.1f, 2.9r

do you have the english (lbs/inch) rates? or atleast the metric diameter and length specs so i can calculate it.

[Promasta]

multiply by 55.88 to get the english rates

So megan is the stiffest?

[BonzaiCelica]

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

Megan's SR: 300F 250R so in SI unit will be 5.37 kg/mm Front 4.47 kg/mm Rear

[Promasta]

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

im on 3" drop need to go lower but ride is all nice and good with the megan full coilovers. like the feel now better even with the lower drop than the TRDs and Intrax.

anyone got a picture of these w/15 or 17" wheels? specs would be appreciated to. (wheel/tire size, spacers, etc.)

my setup:
Megan Racing Springs
Stagg SHS Struts (like kyb/ stock replacement)

17x7.5 wheels
225/45R17 rubbers
no spacers

heres a side shot with the megan springs

front gap

rear gap

stance from rear

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.

Thanks for posting the pics smkr3w, definitely looks better with the new suspension.

no problem, i really looked at it today and its visible my rear is starting to settle more

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.

[Cudi]

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.
