Default Megan Street coilovers. Anyone on them? Pics?

I looked through the tire sticky but everyone seems to be either on Tanabe springs or factory air. I got a set of Megan Street coilovers to hold me off until I get bags, but I want to see how they look on the LS. Anyone have them? Can I see your setup/drop and how much you dropped it?

Thanks!

Here's one of the member on Megan Lp and that's his daily drive height . He goes by Minnyminh, if you decide to sell them let me know.

You may also want to look into BC Racing coilovers. I know they are basically the same coilovers but the BC racing coilovers have replaceable shock cartridges. So in the event you blow a shock you don't have to send them off for repair, you just order a new cartridge for $100 and replace yourself. I think the spring rates are the same, but with the BC racing you can get custom spring rates.

WOW! How is it even possible to drive that way? You sure hes not on bags?

First, I did search through Google AND the forum. And 2nd, neither what you posted nor what I found have answered my question. I asked if anyone had them installed and to show me pictures of their drop on the LS. This shows neither.

I saw a set of new/used set of Megan Street coilovers off Craigslist for 500 bucks so I just picked them up. I wanted to see what the average drop was for them so I can tell the installer how low I want it. That way I won't have to keep adjusting it myself.

I would like to see what a 1.5" Front and 1" drop in the rear would look like. I guess its about the same as the Tanabe springs but wanted to make sure on the Megans.

I just got the Megans coilovers installed and even at max height, the front doesn't give a finger gap. Never knew they dropped so low.

I haven't taken any pictures yet. I'll take a picture tomorrow. Its pretty low though for max height. I ended up putting the dampening to max stiff because it would rub while driving.

Front at max height:
Megan Street coilovers. Anyone on them? Pics?-uwz3za2.jpg

Rear at max height.

I'm afraid after the coilovers settle, that my front will drop even lower.

The back looks good for it being max height but the front seems real low for max height, are the front shock bodies adjusted all the way out too?
