Pic & Info Request - Megan LP / Megan EZ Street coilovers on 18/19 in wheels
Hi guys, trust me ive searched and have seen a few examples but im sure theres more people out there that have not posted.
Also there are zero examples of EZ Streets anyone online for the 2GS.
Looking to get a feel for the ride height before looking into getting EZ street coilovers since the only difference seems to be the dampening.
Thanks in advance

I just replaced my tein CS with megan EZ streets... I don't have any updated pics but can give you a good idea for comparison.. Here's my ride on the tein CS with 18's
When I installed the megans I preloaded the spring to where it was just the slightest bit compressed before installing them. Then adjusted the height with the bottom perch.
When first installed, my rears were slightly tucked, I raised them to about where they are in this pic.
The fronts were sittin up about 2/3 inch higher than in this pic, I lowered them to the max with the bottom perch, not to adjust the spring preload, and they ended up about 1/3 inch lower than in this pic. I'm probably gonna raise them back up to where they were in this pic cuz I slightly rub ( no fender mods ) and don't want to worsen my inner tire wear.
wheel specs: 18x9 +45 . . 245 up front, 275 in the rear, 10mm spacer all around

I'm no expert on coilovers.. but I'm loving the ride.
Even though the spring rates are stiffer than my tein CS.. 10k/8k vs. 7k/7k.. it feels like a smoother ride. I'm thinking that might have something to do with my TRD sway bar being too stiff for the tein CS's. Or maybe the fact that my tein CS were lowered to the point where there was no preload on the springs when I uninstalled them. But right now it feels sooo much better. I'll try to snap a pic tomorrow the way it sits now, with the fronts all the way down.

hmm, was really indecisive on coil overs expensive coil overs have perch while the cheaper brands didn't, well this is a relief now i am planning to get these now. im pretty sure it can go low without losing comfort from the springs wobbling.

This is mine in LP's and 19's. I could easily tuck rim on the lowest setting. the wheel gap will be gone when I get my LS400 bbk installed next week. With the dampening adjustability, you can have a factory ride while rolling slammed. For mr the softest setting is too soft and the stiffest setting is too stiff. Right now I have the set right about in the middle.
