Not sure if the EZ streets are setup the same as LPs but when I put my LPs in without adjusting I was scraping fenderliner instantly on stock wheel set up

I see this posted from time to time.

These are adjustable coilovers, so don't expect them to sit perfect out of the box, and don't be afraid to adjust.

I actually don't see how people install these without changing the adjustments (preload) temporarily to get the lower shock into the rear control arm anyway.

put mine on in a about 2 hours. then spent about 5 hours getting the height right. ( take a measurement, jack it up, take off a wheel, adjust it, check it, drive it ) over and over.

Conclusion: I love Megan EZ's and am glad these are the ones i chose

I ordered them on eBay $670 free shipping took about 4 or 5 business days..I'm not running spacers in those pics but I'm in the market for a set/pair right now for rears..
Great ride overall,if they were a little stiffer they would perfect..

Do you need to install a Camber kit as soon as you install these to save your tires or is it ok to drive a while without a camber kit?
Also, were these completely bolt on or did you have to do any shaving anywhere on the car to make the adjustment grid fit?

This is my car sitting on the megan ez out of the box. This was the morning after the install, and the coils settled and dropped about a cm in front more than pictured.

The coilover height out of the box is pretty good, closed wheel gap on my stocks, but was high enough to where I could drive the car pretty hard and not worry about bottoming out or scraping anywhere.
