Megan and some tein's ride soft. Im lowered on Tein springs/Ltune shock and you wouldnt even know my car is lowered by the way it drives. And the springs give it an aggessive drop, no wheel gap what so ever on 20's

Megan LP -- closest thing to stock as I got, I've run through Tein CS, SS and Flex.

Personally the megans are trouble free, and built good. The adjustability to even softer than stock is a plus. You have to make sure you now how to adjust it properly as well. Don't preload your spring too much.

I am running Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C coils and they are comparable to Teins CS without breaking the bank just to have the lowered look.

Where do most of you Megan owners have your dampening set at?

32 Levels of Adjustment:

1-8: Suggested for track use.
9-16: Suggested for mountain/aggressive use.
17-32: Suggested for common street use.

If you want a softer setup for street use we can do a BC Racing coilover setup with custom rates and valving to mimic a "Tein CS" setup for much less money. We have done this for a few guys on here and they like it

Most coilovers have dampening adjustments...soft to hard...regardless of your height level, make sure you set it to soft to keep the wifey happy.
