Post Megan Racing Coilovers - EZ Street Series

Anyone rocking these? Input greatly appreciated(good or bad)

And would someone mind explaining the difference between the 15 way adjustable and 32 way adjustable? Im assuming that the 32 way obviously has more levels of adjustment, but there's gotta be more to them than that?

Hey King700se. Ive owned both the EZ Streets and CX Racing Coilovers and from that I found out one thing. Megan dont seem to be worth the money. The CX Racing ones seemed to adjust better and have ease of adjustability. And theyre cheaper which is always a plus in my book. Also, 32 way is far superior. You nailed it on the head....they just have more adaptability to all your different driving needs. By far the best way to go. But thats just my 2 cents

I got Megan LP's with 32 levels and they are superior to any others I've had. You could set them to hit the ground and they're stiff when you want them to be.

I have the Megan 32 way, going on 5 years on my SC. No problem. The 32 has smaller incremental adjustments. You can be a little more precise. See"

I have them on my SC, and I dont particularly like them. They're too bouncy, and therefore hard to adjust. If I soften them up then my car rubs, if I stiffen them up then its impossible to drive them on rough roads, and they get bouncy (a very un-Lexus like ride).

i would suggest to get a coilover setup that has 32-way adjustability no matter what the brand is. it gives you more room to fine tune exactly how stiff or soft you want it to be

I just installed some EZ's on my sc400... I do tend to find them little bouncy. Other than that Im happy with them. The streets of Vegas are pretty smooth here.

i live in the war zone known as chicago so the roads here are basically craters everywhere. having coilovers sucks here but when i'm on smooth roads with normal bumps and stuff my EZs are fine. they're not too bouncy, not too stiff. but once you get into the craters they are awful. i have them on the 2nd hardest setting in the front and 5th in the back with the 16 way adjustable. they came with my car so i'm not complaining for now until i try something new.

Look into Godspeed Mono RS.....as well......I feel like they are in between Megan and BC Racing Coils...I have had them on my car for a few months and I am very happy with them.....

Yeah I'm in Vegas/Henderson too and the roads are pretty smooth. I have yet to see a pothole. The worst we get out here is a couple bumps and thats about it. I grew up in San Diego and their roads are way worse.

I would recommend BC coilovers for just under $1,000 over the Megans. I had the Street LP's on my SC300 and they were good but my new BC's ride better. On top of that you can order custom BC coilovers with various spring rates.

I have Megan EZ's on my LS430 and they suck. They're too soft to ride low. Street LP's are a better choice and BC's would be the best for under $1,000.
