Default Megan UCF10 coilovers on a 95

So I read some complaining about how Megan's dont go that low in the rear. I bought some UCF10 coilovers and will be throwing them on my 95 soon, since the actual length is almost 2" shorter. Will poast pics.
Is there anyone here running the " wrong " coilovers on their 2LS?

the problem with too-long megans pertain to those looking to SLAM their cars so the simple (but unideal) solution is to adjust the preload and sag the spring to drop the ride height.

i myself have BC coilovers for a UCF10 on my UCF20 so i know they work just fine (though i'm on air, it should work regardless of that fact).

Most the adjustable coils were based on the UCF10 will apply to both the 10 and 20 models. There were a few that were UCF2 designated.

UCF10 coils work on UCF20. UCF20-specific coils (like Tein CS and a couple others) will NOT work properly on a UCF10, and will blow prematurely.

They indeed fit just fine & have absolutely tons of room for adjustment. My alignment is actually surprisingly good when checked with string.
Too dark for pics now.

Off topic, I may have to send them back. They are super bouncy / loud over bumps - I got them used; the previous owner definitely screwed with the preload setting. Oh well!
