Would you be able to post any pictures of your car with them installed??? Or maybe you already did before and can point me in the right direction... Also how do they feel compared to stock? Thanks

here's a rolling shot.



and here's the link to my most recent post

It's a pretty conservative drop. not that drastic. I'm thinking about cutting a lil off the top so I can drop the front a lil more. compared to stock the suspension is very stiff but its not that harsh. i would say its nice especially if replace ur stock shocks

By the way Team SNS in the vendor section had the best price on them, even better than Ebay.

I have the Megan Springs installed on my car. In my opinion the spring rates are too soft and the car sags A LOT with any weight in the rear.

They are a 2" drop front/rear with (weak) 5kg/mm front and 4.1kg/mm rear spring rates.

The ride height is near perfect, but the soft spring rates is making me get rid of them for something stiffer.

In the rolling pic, the rear appears high, but when there's even 1 person in the back seat, it rubs like crazy. It literally sags 2" or so, unacceptable for springs which are <1 year old.
