I got My Megans today
I purchased the Megan EZ Streets from Circuit Motorsports. I have opened the box and they look very good. If you tell me how to add pictures I will add them.
They will replace my blown out air shocks on 2005 UL with 172xxx miles.
Who has installed this on their car. I want as close to factory ride height and a slightly firmer ride than stock. I need all the help you can offer. Thanks in advance.

I've got an LS exactly like yours. I bought the EZ's recently to replace my factory air shocks. The ride quality is nice and firm.
However, these coilovers will slam your car to the ground. I was hoping to stay close to stock height with them but it dropped my car to the ground and now the front tires rub the fenders on hard turns. I have the fronts as high as they can possibly go and it still sits pretty low. If you have a set of 19"s or 20"s you will be fine but if you have the OEM 18"s with the 245/45 tires you will destroy your fenders.
I'll post some pics of my car to give you an idea of how low your car will be.

Here are the pics. I was able to raise the front up a little so the rubbing isn't quite as bad as it was when I first lowered it. If I went with smaller front tires it wouldn't rub. I never adjusted the rears. I may raise the rear or go lower depending on how my new 20" wheels fit.

The funny thing is I never wanted my car to sit that low. My SC was slammed for a while and it was a horrible experience. When my friends saw the LS they all that thought it was awesome while I had a huge frown on my face because it was almost like driving my slammed SC again.

Hey Kira are you sure you're adjusting the coilover properly? The lower mount can be raised up a fair bit, to the point that the bottom of the threaded portion is just barely visible in the observation hole on the bottom mount.
Could have sworn they go a bit higher than that when fully up.

I thought they would go a lot higher considering my Megan LP's on my SC300 didn't sit this low.

Ive had the EZ Coilovers for a little over a year and a half and love em. Installed them myself. Pretty easy install, except getting to the rear struts is a pain.
To be honest Im rocking my 17" stocks right now and the car sits fairly high. I rock a set of 20" 10 in the front 11 in the back during the warm months and the ride high is perfect.
Def a win in my book from megan. Planning on ordering all the arms next.

For those who have the UL, which fuses did you pull? How many fuse boxes does an LS have? I replace a rear air shock once before on my car. Once I got the seats out it was a piece of cake.
