Just my $.02.
From my research I found that most with the 10k/8k setup out of the box were later dissatisfied and wished they had opted for 12k/8k. With that said, I'm sure Megan EZs can get you those spring rates. Another note, BCRs are replaceable for a minimal $95 charge IF a failure occurs.

i've had them for less than a month. I just looked at my pm's from circuit and they shipped out like the 3rd of November i believe.
I can try to call them, but i have a feeling they are going to try to make me send them in, which leaves my car down and it's my daily driver ect.
Does anyone know of a rebuild that i can do?
I actually may be able to put the front oem shocks/roadmagnets on. I just don't thin 10kg for front is strong enough. the rears are fine. as a matter of fact, im thinking of ordering tokico blues and puting them on the front road magnets and just swapping them in and keeping the rear megans. i'm riding the same height up front anyways...
man , i'm just highly disappointed. I almost didn't wanna say anything bad about the megans but maybe i'm just one person that got unlucky.

I've done a lot of suspension work, i've had many different setups ranging from small drops on big sedans to big drops on my turbo s2000 in the Norther VA crappy roads and nothing like this has happened to me before.
I'm going to call megan today and inquire about it. I just know it's going to be a dreaded time dealing with this.

Update:
After getting in touch with Megan, They were very quick to have me take pics of anything leaking and what not so they could immediately send a new set to me! They said if it was obvious that it was leaking then they wouldn't even ask for the coilovers first. Very nice of them!
Finally this past Saturday, i was able to get around to taking a good look at everything and I was prepared to swap the old lowered springs/shocks into the front and just wait to have the megans repaired. But much to my surprise, the shocks were completely dry...even more of a surprise, i found out why my wheels were dirty.
The inner CV boots need to be replaced! they are both leaking grease out of the sides, and i believe the driver side is just ripped.
I went ahead and just raised the car 1/4 higher all the way around and let me tell you...Raising the car just 1/4 made a world of a difference. The wobbling is pretty much gone, the car handles bumps smoother, and the ride is back to being enjoyable again.
I think what most likely happened is that the springs hadn't settled just yet as now that i look back at some pictures i took from the first couple of days of installing the coilovers and setting the height, they were lower than the first few days that i had installed the coilovers.
So far so good. no rubbing or anything!
now....................Anyone know where to get a set of inner cv boot kits? lol
ps...posting this info in the other threads.

yea for a daily driver, they seem to be ok. I don't think they would hold up long for many spirited drives, but i have a turbo s2000 for that.
you just might have to readjust a month or so afterwards depending on how low you go.
Other than that, i'm happy with them.
