I was a little weary about using these, as I was not pleased with the last two megan products I have owned; Coilovers for a 2006 WRX, and 1985 AE86 Corolla.

I decided to try them anyhow, and I am very pleased with them!! I would highly recommend these springs. They are slightly lower then H&R, and are more even than the H&R, something I did not like about the H&R springs, is that the back is higher that the front.

The ride is actually better now, than stock. I drive the 110 freeway and also downtown LA. These are two of the worst roads around, and the car actually rides and works better now on the 110 freeway. It is smoother and less bouncy. No more washboarding either.

The price on these are very good also, I looked them up in ebay, and they are only $99 plus shipping.

The fronts are about 1/2 longer than the stock springs, so you MUST use a spring compressor. I was able to use the Autozone units without any issues.

Here are before and after pics.

Megan claims 1.5" front and rear drop.

About how long did it take for the springs to settle?

Get the springs, trust me you'll like them.

I told a friend about these springs, he gave me the typical megan??? Look.

Well after seeing the drop and riding in my car, he decided to get them also haha

i will say the rears are 3/16th inch taller than fronts, after close measurements. Some people like that.... if you don't you can always trim the upper rubber mounts.

do not do this

Looks good. Now that you have a few miles
On them now are you still happy with the ride? Tire wear
I need to drop mine and very curious about the ride compared to coil overs
Thanks and again looks sweet!

you weaken the integrity of the rubber mount making it susceptible to breaking. if your shoe doesnt fit do you just cut an opening in the front for your toes to stick out?

I've never heard of anyone breaking the rubber mount.

People have been doing it for years:
DIY: Cutting Rear Springmount aka "the springmount mod" - G35Driver

370z mounts are very similar.
