Hey guys I'm new to this just wanting to get some input I've been lookin around the forum and saw a setup that was running Megan ez coils but didn't know how good they where. They looked awesome but I was wondering if someone with some experience could help me out and explain which coils are a like stock ride. Also how coils even work regarding stiffness and softness and what not. Just trying to get some education before I go break the bank.

Also my is is awd and I've heard a lot of problems come with that can anyone expand on that?

Hello and Welcome to ClubLexus! Although we may be a knowledgable and helpful group, I recommend making yourself familiar with our FAQ and Search feature.

I'll start by pointing you in the right direction:

Coilover Education:
Suspension

Search "Megan" in Suspension and Brakes to find this:
Megan ez coilovers?

This comes down to what you are willing to spend really..than you can choose a brand you want to go with. Megans are cheaper but not a bad set of coils for the cost. BC Racing is pretty popular. BC goes for around 1k and Megans Range 6-850 I believe. Then you have stance, Rsr, tien, function form, I would figure out ur price first

price isn't that big of a deal I was thinking 1500 or so max but if there's a good set for 800 I'm not going to complain just want something that rides great and can have a flush setup with

I used to have the Megan LP's and loved them, but after I got aftermarket wheels and lowered it more, they were not stiff enough for me. I now have BC's with custom spring rates and have very little rubbing issues. I'd say go for BC's with high rates if you're planning on going low and flush

Thanks guys I'm going to go look into te builds and stuff. Now I know I sound like a complete idiot but Isn't I the stiffer the coils the harsher the ride?

Yes, but they are fully adjustable. You will need to choose springs rates. 12/10 is what i went with. BC Racing run about 1k maybe a little more. Those will prolly be your best bang for your buck IMO. I was turned off by megans description of the ez coils. As it stated "Our most recent addition to our expansive coil-over kit line up, the EZ STREET coil-over line up is aimed towards the more budget oriented enthusiast to offer the most basic essentials from an after-market coil-over setup, yet makes no compromises for quality and performance." To me they even admit its cheap which id rather them lie and claim its made of great quality, makes me think they cut corners.. But thats just my thought and opinion

Before you set your mind to purchasing coilovers, please find yourself reading thread after thread on here of other members having issues with their axles/CV joints/etc after lowering their rides. It MIGHT change your mind.

Jmonsini57

so is this pointing more towards springs?

^Hop onto a PC and search for a few minutes on the site here about the issues. You'll come to a conclusion yourself.

I have been running Megan Ez-street coilovers for about 2 years now, they are ok but nothing more than that. I am now thinking of getting BC.

I had Megan LP's and had no complaints. If you're really trying to go flush then BC with custom spring rates would be better as mentioned earlier and I agree on the studying of AWD and lowering also. Good luck and welcome to CL.
