Going price is around $850 shipped, I offer them a bit lower than that but can't break MAP rules.

Not only do they offer more adjustablity in ride control (firmness) they will be much more adjustable for ride height ......AND they are not as wide when compared to stock struts ... this will allow for wider wheels and tires .......

Will keep you posted if they call me. Likewise for Quicksilver or whomever takes their car to Megan.

Well if Megan makes a set for the XSport, I will be interested in getting some details.
Thx guys

This is what Megan Coilovers look like installed ( on my Flex).

Rear

Front

The threading allows a great deal of height adjustment. On the top of each shock is a knob that allows 32 different settings of dampening from street to track.

Sounds like a great way to increase ride comfort.
I hope they develop a set for the XSport....
Thx

Bob are the Coilovers lighter as well

EcoBrick Bob · December 14, 2013, 10:24:42 PM

I didn't weigh them, but even though they aren't light, they definitely weigh less than the stock front struts and rear shocks/springs. However, the ones I had on both were H & R springs... they aren't light, but work great and are definitely cheaper to buy and to install than Megan Coilovers.

My Flex H & R springs are for sale, but have to dis-mount them, hopefully to take to Iowa for possible sale and Ship.

I've got cash burning a hole in my pocket for a set of these on the esport. Also i weighed my sport yesterday just to see how heavy it was. Empty other than junk from my kids,baby seat,tabs,dvds etc....maybe an extra 45lbs total it came in at 5000lbs. How much do the SHO and Flex weigh?
The scale i went to does not give you exact numbers like 4989...it's a basic round up or down system but will put you within 50lbs.

My SHO says 4450lb. I think I'l go weigh it at my local gravel dealer since you bring it up.

EcoPowerParts · December 15, 2013, 01:26:16 AM

My Flex weighed 5100 with me in it at the track.

I don't want to start any trouble.... But I'm just curious on everyone's opinion.
I mentioned Megan racing coilovers to a friend that is really big into the car scene and he told me they have a really bad rep for quality and that their products are all junk...
I didn't have time to get into it with him so I don't know if he just had a bad experience or what?

People tell me the same about my Ford vehicle. Neverthrless, I've heard the same from the import car crowd. I'll wait to pass judgment.

bigmoneycloser · December 15, 2013, 10:35:24 AM

Yeah, I was curious if anyone here has been running them and their opinion?

TouchOfEvil · December 15, 2013, 11:14:13 PM

4DR and EB both have them.
I've read here and there that they can cure the wheel-hop so many of us get as well with the proper adjustments.
