Default Feedback on Megan Racing Coilovers UCF21

I've had the Megan Racing Coilovers on for about a week now and the ride is great. I had it lower, but the front tires were rubbing and I was scraping, so I raised it a little...the roads aren't flat and smooth around the Bay Area. I didn't get a chance to do any measurements to see how much the drop was. Here are a few quick pics I was finally able to snap (the car has been sitting outside, so please don't mind the dirt. I'm still rolling on the stock rims right now. And yes, I know I need rims )

The ride is smooth. I haven't messed with the dampening yet, it's been set at halfway all around.

Just thought I'd give a little feedback on these coilovers since I think they're new for our ucf21 and others may be interested.

the megans are valved a lot more aggressively and sprung stiffer than the teins or JICs and are priced a decent bit lower.

iirc u can get them direct from megan

Prahjec you wanna chime in?

MSRP : $1050

I found a place online for less and got them just under $1000 shipped from socal to norcal. It arrived in about 1-2 business days. Here's the link to their direct site, I got these after seeing them in another thread.

Is there still a lot of adjustment left to go lower?

Did they come with front and rear pillowball mounts?

The Tein CS were to long even when cranked down. I suspect with these, it may fit the 1X.
