Megan LR Coilovers, Camber Adjustment

Megans website on the 2GS coilovers states: "Pillow Ball upper mounts for camber correction" in the description on their website. Is this correct?

Can any Megan owners confirm this for a 2GS please.

I plan on dropping 2"-2 1/2" and need to know if I will have camber issues with my winter 16"s and summer 18"s....before I order...

It doesn't work for our cars. We don't utilize struts.

2-2.5" isn't crazy low at all so you should be okay as long as your toe is fine. Camber just wears one side more than the other. If you can't rotate/flip your tires, then I would definitely invest in some RCAs. The amount of tire you save will eventually pay for the RCAs.

Any suggestion in regards to wheel spacers? I am planning on 245/40/18 on 8x18 for the summer and ugghh, the stock 225/55/16 on 16x7 for my winter setup...

Don't want to be too aggressive just not sure what these two wheel/rim setups will look like without spacers...

right now stock they are so much inside I cringe at the thought of what the 16's will look like with the megans...

SPC makes adjustable front arms for adjusting camber and caster. They also have rear camber bolts.

Feel free to PM us for pricing or info.
