Default coilovers

I just put on a set of megan ez streets i got for 600$ new online

They definitely seem worth the money, but mine will never see the track.

I love the adjustability.

Now that the springs have settled it's actually a little lower, but with the coilovers, I have room to drop it another inch or more if I really want to tuck the wheels or get some stretched tires and go for the flushed look.

I like the stiffness with 12/16 set on front and 8/16 on the back. Not too bouncy, not too soft. I could see with the coils dropped all the way down you would need to put them on max firmness to limit rubbing.

I still gotta relocate my wiring harness in the fender, it's not something I wanna chance. There are some SC's on here that are dropped with the rubber almost on the frame in the front. If that's how low you wanna go, these coilovers will take you there, but to maintain driveability maybe you wanna consider airbags?

PBM. This is no where near maxed out. Maxed out and you can't even install the coilovers because your control arms can't go up high enough to line up the bolt holes. This picture is no where near maxed out. End thread/
