Megan Racing Coilovers
 
hello, i was just wondering if anyone dealt with megan racing coilovers.

http://www.meganracing.com/products/...=706&catid=125

i just saw that on their website. i knoe a lot of people use their products. it makes me very interested looking at the price.

I have heard good things about the company. But if im spending around 1k on coils Id get something else

megan's coilovers are great.

although since they are a 12/10 spring rate setup, they will feel a bit stiffer than something like JIC that is 14/7.

and they're also supposedly able to fit on CF10, front and rear?

if they are able to fit on CF10, that stiffness will be even more noticeable, since i'd think the valving would be made for the CF20, which is bigger and heavier.

after seeing them on asianalpha's CF10, i've been wanting them for my CF10.

if i was to pick up the megans id be sure to order custom spring rates which they CAN do.

my only concern with megan is build quality, ive heard little about them, and its all been kinda mediocre.

Actually the ucf20/21 95-00 3650 lbs. is lighter than the original ucf10/11 90-94 3759 lbs.

i was looking at jic magic too. but they have a hefty price. i know i will get more quality out of them. but i cant see myself spending 2k on suspension for my old 95 ls400. the coilover would be worth half my car lmaooo.

i had my car with bout an inch of tire tuck all around on them and it rode real smooth on stiff dampening settings. i like them, did about 8 months on them and haven't gone out on me yet.

yeah that and you can run lower on 18's(depending on tire size) but if he's on 19's then he doesnt have to go as low to get the desired look.

hmmn, what went into that extra pound of weight between 93 and 94?

lp_yang 01-13-08 07:49 PM

i talked to megan last week...they said "it will fit the rears of 90-94 with mods"....but they did not recommend it...the fronts fit but the back u have the cut it in some way(thats what the dude said)...plus they are workin on some for 90-94..so i might as well wait...one more thing if u search more online, there are places that sells them for $850..i think its a good price

but i wonder how long that wait will be...?

it usually takes a while for them to finally release stuff they're "working on"

what kind of cutting, or where, did they say needed to be done to fit the rears?
