Default megan lowering springs?

So I did a search on megan lowering springs but I found that mostly IS owners have or are using them, they have good comments about them.

So I was wondering if anybody has or is running them in their GS? I also just got my new lower ball joints in, and I was thinking of ordering the megan lowering springs to install them all at once.

Reason why im curious about the megan springs is that they offer a good drop.

I have seen that the megan coilovers have gotten good reviews and comments so thats why im asking about the springs.

I agree, after you buy the springs and new shocks, you will end up about the same price

Well im going to get the coilovers for sure, probably the BC coilovers, but not till next year around february with new rims as well. I wanted a lower stance for the time being so thats why I figure ill ride around on the lowering springs till then and besides there inexpensive so its not like im spending a lot. Just wanted to see if any of you fellow GS owners have tried them yet.

So I went ahead an ordered them, and ill let you all know how it rides, ill also get some before and after pics. The springs were inexpensive so Im not really losing out if I dont like them and plus next year ill be getting full coilovers anyways, just wanted the GS lower for now, im impatient I know, lol.

Hey TxLexus let me know how you like them cause I was looking at the same thing even though i have a 300 but Im pretty sure that for lowering springs a 400 or 300 wont makje a difference.

Once the springs come in and i install them ill be posting pics before and after and i will be sure to post how they handle as well.

The megan coilovers i think there are a few people on here running them, havent heard anything bad yet.

Right now im just lowering it on stock wheels, wanted it a bit lower than stock and get rid of the float like feeling when turning. next year it will be changed out with coilovers along with some 19" rims.

I was curious on the spring rate can anybody tell me how exactly to read it or tell the given rate if its good or not?
