Mine did the first couple days... I had brand new Work wheels mounted and precisely balanced the same day the coils were put on, don't know what or why, but I experienced the same.

I find mine well balanced at 8 clicks front and 10 clicks rear. Soft --> Stiff.

i'm about to pruchase these coils. could some one get me up to speed with all the lingo? like damper.. is that how stiff the springs are? and slammed..meaning you cant go any lower? and that cambered look is where the back tires bow out?

also how low is the manufacturer's settings? like 2"? and why would i want to adjust the stiffness?

I tried sending MxChase a PM but got an error saying they don't accept PM's....anyone had recent experience with a good Megan vendor with low prices?

Very good communication as well when I had questions about the coilovers and setup.

IS350 guys:
Is there a consensus for preventing/avoiding the vibrations and sounds some of you were getting?

Are everyones shocks and struts holding up?

^ I believe only AWD owners have the problems you are talking about. Mine have been on the car for about 6 months and are in mint shape still

Its all subjective but anywhere from 25K-50K? Idk I think someone here mentioned that their coils lasted a pretty long time

um, so the more damper (more stiff) i set it, the shorter the life span of the coils?

the guy whos gonna install my coils said it'll take 4-5hrs, but also said i should keep the car there 2 days, and he'll do an alignment after that?

should i trust this? or drive it myself for a bit before aligning it? i have a 1100 mile trip coming up down to FL and i dont want to leave pieces of my tires on i95 south.......
