Megan Racing Coilover shock install and first impressions

Side profile picture of the final drop you ended up with?

Not yet. Going to wait for a month for the springs to settle, then do final adjust. The first picture was -1.8". It's currently at -1.3" and still scraping on some objects. Also getting tire rubbing under hard cornering over bumpy surfaces.

Thinking about going to -1.1" because of scrapining in front fender wells and undercarriage (with stock sport package wheel/tire combo).

Will post pictures when I get final height adjust and alignment done.

Sorry I've been lazy. Well, I've been working on other projects.

Final specs are that by my tape measure, I am lowered 1.2". That is 26.5" pavement to fender, front and rear. On the final ride height, my rear camber was -2.6 degrees. I was a little much and went with SPC camber kit. Final alignment is -2.1 degrees front and -2.2 degrees rear.



camber before was this:


Camber after was this, but also with 15 mm Ichiba spacers:


Car now looks like this:





In regards to Mattjk's comment, I think the compression and rebound are well matched. I don't see any bad handling characteristics, but this is my first car with coil overs. After 1200 miles on the Megan Racing coil overs, I have settled on 10 clicks from the firmest setting and the car handles phenominally. My driving experiences include 2006 Corvette Z51, 2007 Z06, 2008 911S, 2008 Cayman S, 2009 335i with sport package (coupe) 2004 360 Modena and a variety of less sporty cars. The 370z with this set up is the best handling car I have ever driven. Steering is light and responsive, with excellent feedback. Lateral accelleration is phenominal. Cornering is incredibly flat. Transitions are flawless. Road handling at 90-100 mph is as stable as 50 mph. I haven't had the car faster than that for prolonged periods to really know how "soft" it gets at high speed. I am absolutely thrilled with this car other than the fact that it is underpowered compared to some other sports cars on the market and compared to some of the cars I have driven.
