Megan Racing Coilovers, wondering if its a bad idea to max drop with the coils Options

[sunwukongg]

just wondering, i just got my megan racing coilovers and im running the stock 15" alloy celica wheels right now and i want to know if its bad if i drop it all the way down..

[HectortheRican]

Personally, I wouldn't drop it more than 2"

your seriously changing the geometry of your suspension so your gonna go through wheel bearings and axles faster, and our gas tanks are the lowest point of the car, i scrape mine at a 2 inch drop on some speed bumps, your also going to need some rear camber adjustment bolts, i was running -4 with the 2 inch drop lol

[SupraKid]

lower it,enjoy it,when **** breaks,fix it...

personally im on ebay sleeves on stock struts, im 3.5 inch drop in front and 4 inch drop in back, and i dont scrape anywhere, i just ordered megans and im going to be about 6" drop all around, its not as bad as u think, i dont even scrape on speedbumps, only my mudflaps scrape on them,

So he scrapes, and you don't?
How does that work lol

[kurt95gt]

The ebay coilover sleeves work a$$ backwards to start with

Mine actually raised my car with them set for a 1inch drop
I had to take the sleeves out to get where i wanted.
Not nocking your setup whipcream just stating my experience woth ebay sleeves

[jordisonjr]

Yea I wouldn't ever put them on any of my cars either.
They're cheaper to buy than good lowering springs..

Man, I should've ridden in your car on Sunday. I've never been in a car on eBay sleeves and wanted to see how they felt for myself. Oh well. I'll be getting Megans or BCs soon.

They ride like normal springs as long as u keep it within 2 inches. but I dropped them all the way down. and all 4 shocks are blown. so it rides horrible!

Shhhh

But seriously, I'm going to do it soon. I had about $800 set aside for a tattoo in the Fall, but I think I'm going to spend it on coils instead.

I just got a $1k tattoo but if i didnt have coilovers i would go for the coilovers for sure and f#@& the tattoo lol

hahaha i have never once scraped my gas tank hahaahaha my muffler and parts of the frame are way lower than my gas tank. you must have a bad gas tank... im as low as my car can go with the current setup and i get over speed bumps just fine.... not driving like an ass and being careful with how you drive are great things to learn especialy when your driving a car thats lowered. im pretty sure if he wants to slam his car he isnt driving like the streets are a race track..

Kimiko + moar low = win

how the hell are you gonna have a 6" drop on megans? just curious, thats more extreme than the BC extreme kit.

I can honestly vouch that Meagans are pretty good. SexciCelicaChikk is riding on a set and they actually feel way better than my Tanabe Sustec Pros. Im actually considering getting some myself. Not to mention they give u many different drop lengths. We've haver set about half and that sets her about a quater on an inch past the top of her tire. Scrape every speed bump and incline tho but that will go away when she upgrades from 14's to 18's like she wants.

I can't vouch for their coil overs or springs, but when Megan racing came out a better part of a decade or so ago, they were one of my sponsors I used for show and at the track (with my Integra). They only made a few parts then, mostly bolt on engine parts ... adjustable cam gears and such ... but I was always impressed with their quality and customer support. At the time their parts were cheap as hell too (price wise) cause they were a new company, but I would never hesitate to buy any of their products. In fact I would buy their stuff over a lot of very well known brands.
