Title: Megan Racing Coilovers
Post by: Frozen Taurus on April 27, 2015, 10:58:15 AM
Other than drilling out the sway bar end link hole to 14mm on the front struts is there any other mods that need to be done to the rear ones before they will go on?

Rears go right on, easy peasy. :)
It's just a coil spring and a shock back there.

I will be getting these very soon and I am curious as well.  So no need for adjustable sway bar links or cam bolts?  Let's say I choose to ride almost stanced, like maybe 1/4" to 1/2" wheel gap so to speak, will that require said parts to properly align?

personally I would like to have the ability to firm or soften the suspension.  I'm hoping to dial in the ride height I want and leave it, I don't see many people raising and lowering all the time.

Reason why I chose to go this route over just springs is I don't know how many more K's I am gonna get out of stock shocks and if I am gonna spend the money on new shocks for all four corners too why not just spend a little more and get a kit that was designed to work together.

These are cheaper than OEM suspension too...at least what my dealer quoted

I read that too, but how many of us would know the first thing about adjusting these? It seems like a lot of work to tweak for a softer or firmer ride? Unless we are actually road course racing, what is the benefit?

Stiffen up rear for less weight transfer at launch.

Adjustment 15-32 is the recommended area for street use ....so I am gonna start at 15 (the firmest street setting) and go up till I am happy with the ride. And this isn't my first experience with coilovers and dampeners ...my Talon has them too

This pertains to the coilovers that Megan sells for the 2010-1012 models.

No, the coilovers are still are not available for the 2013+ cars. Frankly, I doubt they ever will be. Megan Racing's communication is pretty much non-existent.

They have had my suspension apart more than three times and never once had the car aligned, even after multiple request to do as such. As a result I had to replace my factory tires at 12,000 miles.

Unfortunately, at this point, I have zero faith in Megan Racing.

Wow, sorry for your troubles.

this and the fact that they are not on this forum leads to my skepticism.

Don't get your hopes up that they care.  I sent them an inquiry a while back and they didn't even respond...
