Default C/O installed..

Just got my megan EZ coilovers in. Installed them today, took about 4 hours.. most of the time was just figuring out what we were doing.. after that it was easy. Didnt take off the upper a-arm or the sway bars, just turned the wheel and they fall right out. Rear fenders are rolled.. fronts aren't.

Bad news.. went a little toooo low. Blew out my front passenger fender. Horrible times attempting to drive up the street to my house. Finally got it home and actually fixed the fender pretty good, rolled it while i was there. Just gotta get the rears rolled a little more, and roll the front drivers side. Planning on going lower in the rear once all the fender work is complete. Here's some pics, i'll have more pics once i get my Nikon from my house

Thanks guys. Fronts can't have any spacers, and for the back.. i'm waiting on some funds then i'm just gonna get the 10" rears!
Specs are 18 x 8.5 15 or 20 offset and its a ugo spoiler.
And i will go lower! Just gotta get the fenders done

Thanks tj. Ride quality is pretty good for now. But we'll see how it holds up. It rubs over every single little dip in the road. Pretty sure its just the plastic liner tho, so i'm gonna see what I can do with that.. might have to raise it up a bit .
Rayy, I just looked at the website and it says its +25
