Company, coilover brand name used, price, warranty, and etc. Any info on that, and can you send this thread to your shop and ask them to come in and answer some questions.

Megan racing is the company that is making them or has made a set i should say, not sure on price yet or warranty but mike @ ecopowerparts.com will be the first one to have all this information as he is going to be their exclusive vendor for these. I also sent danny the link not sure if he is going to chime in or not.

Mike, I know this is something you also worked on, extensively, consistently,  and almost unwaveringly.....

Glad to see the efforts having paid off (finally). Cool of Zach too, to pony up his whip for the necessary R&D.

I'm confident for all those 13+ owners who'll take advantage of this latest offering, will enjoy them, as much as I have on my 2010.

Do people tinker with their coil overs that frequently ?....dont you need an alignment everytime u change the height?

This is correct.  Whats even more challenging is very few people actually correctly dial in their aftermarket coil overs by corner balancing. Its easy to see this when at open track events.  Usually the cars that can't get around for s*** just "bolted" them in.
Good to know, thanks!

To properly corner Balance your car, don't you need adjustable end links?

Love my Megan Racing coilovers!

Low in the summer...raise it back up for winter.

Keeping up with this, would definitely be interested in a lower vehicle with similar to stock ride qualities.

I can tell you my Flex on these coilovers rode better than stock or H&R springs and was lower by an inch than the H&R springs :)

It's hard for me to get excited for this. I'm on the fence about the brand at this point.

I recall a member taking time, and driving his car to them, basically wasting his time; the brand stating in not so many words that the platform is not worth their time; and the general on/ off product updates.

I don't know anything here for a fact, but the impression I get is that they could be half-assing a product. They began dev, and are trying to get out from under the sink cost. Again, my impression based on the prefacing events.

Which is a real bummer because I want a set.

My personal experience with them has been great and as far as i know i am not getting any less of a product then what was offered for previous years. I pick my car up on Monday so i will update after my drive home on the ride quality i don't have much to compare it too though because i have only had the car for a total of 3 weeks including the last week it has been at megan.

Thanks for volunteering your car, it's been a long couple of years trying to make this happen, Danny's development time is limited and there's only a few of us pushing to make it happen.
