I don't know if Jon feels the same way, but coming from a platform where Coilovers were dime a dozen, I feel that megan isn't the greatest.

Dampening, spring rates, tests, I don't think compare to other companies. I'm not saying it is a bad coilover, but there are better ones out there.

Megan pros:
-Full threaded body
-Cheap
-Availability
-Availability
-Availability

Only coil i'd get other than the Megans would be the Tanabe Super Low form coilovers, with run nice stiff spring rates to let you drive REALLY low.

JIC is also very hit or miss with both quality and service, and for the price, i can't stand for it.

Finally threw my wheels back on since the snow is over:

She's washed, but man, she needs a claybar, wax, etc hardcore.

Also, I have no idea why it looks like my lower door panels are dented. They're perfectly straight.
