I used to drive around at this height before i bought my wheels and the ride wasnt bad on these megans. Only problem i had was the front upper control arm hitting the shock tower going over big bump and i still had another 1" for the front and 2" for the rear to go down. If you ask me their best bang for the buck and each replacement shock is only $115 plus shipping.

well i used them on my GS, for quite some time. they were great. i went from 3 different coilovers then finally settled for the BC's. the LS has a better suspension setup. IMO.

well.... ordered the BC Racing coilovers. Only time will tell if that's what I was looking for. Hopefully soon enough I'll have them and be able to get them on. I had been set on Megan LPs for a while, but for the price differences....I figured it's worth a shot for now.
