Guys -

I am setting up my Megans tonight and wanted to see how some have been setup here with adjustments to the spring perch and adjustments to the lower nut for height adjustment.

I know it is all personal preference but wanted to see some thoughts on how you guys set it up. I want a snug fit with the 18s and going with a upper/middle setting on damping since I will be daily driving the car for a little while.

How low on the front and back did you adjust the height to?
Did you compress the spring perch any?

 

when i do my coilovers i use the "max one finger" rule. that is you can only fit one finger...snugly, between the fender and the wheel. as far as setting i would go somewhere in the middle also.

this is how we roll in chi-town....during the winter.


this is my buddies fc slammed on stance coilovers

im saving up right now for stance too and it will look the same way once finished :

 

i agree! thats how i have mine setup, only one finger can fit in there snugly. i too am running with the megans, and i love em. i have mine set up at 12 for dampening.

 

same here..my megans are on 12, little rough at times, but perfect.

 

I have buddy clubs and i set mine all the way to the softest then up 7 in front and 5 in the rear I dono how the megans are with dampening but buddy clubs are mono tube. I seriously havent even equally masured my coilvers just dropped it lol. Once i get new smaller tirs and fender roll im planning to tuck tire maybe rim

 

when i got my megans, i first set them to full soft. it rode like stock, very nice. but i would actually like it stiffer, so i'm going to put them about 12-15 and see how it is. i haven't done it yet because it's been snowing and i've been driving my jeep.
on my megans, the spring perch doesn't compress when adjusting height. the threaded part goes down into the body of the lower housing, which is nice because it doesn't affect ride or spring rate no matter how low you go.

 

i have my ha set on 9 i like it a semi soft with 2 fingers i the fender so i can cimb over the snow

 

I have the Megan's also but from a Supra, dampening set to 9 for now

 

^^ car looks good.. like the stance...
What exactly is the difference between the coilovers for the supra and the sc300? Adjustability? I don't think it would be spring rate or maybe??

 

the supra coilovers sit lower, I'm nowhere near close to the bottom of the shocks

 

I don't see how it would sit lower with the supra application since they share the same part numbers:

Model Number : MR-CDK-LS3

good catch, I got mixed up with the stock shocks cause the perch is lower, my bad

 

Ya many companies save on costs that way, but they may implement the best compromise for both applications.
