Default Megan Coilover settings

I am replacing my Air ride system on my 95' LS400 with Megans. I was wondering what settings others are having success with. I want to lower my vehicle from the factory height about a couple of inches without sacrificing too much comfort.

Thanks in advance..

That actually sounds like a plan. Where in CO are you located? I'm in the Springs. Also, who did you get to do your installation? I'll PM you my contact info.

Thanks for the info. How is the ride with these settings? How does it compare to factory air. My air shocks are leaking which caused me to look towards coilovers.

you sure about that? that's pretty stiff since the Megans get softer as the number goes higher. you are counting with max HARD being 0 right?

plus that means that the rears are stiffer/harder than the front, which is generally the opposite setup of most RWD cars.
