that looks really good.. The Megan RUCA looks much better than the TC Sportline.. Megan looks like their built much better.. Car is coming along nicely
Today I got the Megan FUCA installed. I was under the impression that these things provided ±3 degrees of adjustability. I have them maxed out positive and I didn't get anywhere near 3 degrees. Oh well, it is what it is, at least it's a little better than before. Again, the front fenders are supposed to be +50mm. I'm only going 30mm wider from a 9.5 (+30) to a 10.5 (+12). Not sure why, but 10.5 (+0) is not fitting how I want. Front fitment should be similar to what's pictured but around 5 mm more aggressive. Front lip will only be 4 inches since I plan to use a high disc face up front and I'm prioritizing tire wear, less stretch, and intact fiberglass fenders over looks.

If I didn't have a budget, it would be Figs followed by Serialnine for arms. Reality is I have a budget though. I was going to get the TCS arms until I saw a post on IG about the balljoints snapping. Then I wasted time buying Godspeed stuff and returning it. Finally went to old faithful, Megan. Just like the coilovers I have, decent quality and relatively low pricing.

i guess you wouldn't suggest Godspeed coils then huh after your experience? I'm pretty close to buying those but my other option is Megan. Do you have the EZ or EZII coils?

I'm sure Godspeed probably just buys those coilovers from some factory in china and rebrands them but I wouldn't touch them after what I saw with the control arms. I have the EZ's. They have about 40k miles on them and I've had them for like 7 years I think. No problems with them or the rear toe arms I got from Megan years ago. I would get Megans over Godspeed any day. I just tried them because they were dirt cheap, but now I know why....

Thanks.. Yea the price difference is minimal but Megan will get my money. I have about 40k on my Tein CS and they are just now acting up. Leaking etc.. But i'm on a budget also and i don't have a show car so $600-$700 is decent
So I ended up going half an inch more aggressive in the rear like I wanted to all along. Final specs are 19x12.5 (-7) with a 6.5" lip, 305/30 hankooks.Still will need to adjust the suspension but can't at the moment since a wheel stud decided to snap..
oh snaps!!!! that rear looks great, lets see some front pics!
I haven't ordered lips and barrels for the front yet. The plan is to get the rears mounted and get an alignment. Then I'll know exactly what size I want the fronts to be.
