and please keep posting pics, this thread is becoming an open forum now lol

Wait what? Sorry I got kinda confused reading this. Brain fart lol

youre debating whether to go low now and then get new wheels or wait, get new wheels and then go lower. I say go with the first that way you get used to being that slammed and then you only have to get used to new wheels when theyre on. If you wait to slam it until after wheels then youre trying to get used to new ride height and new wheels. Its always wise to do one thing at a time, especially with extreme mods like slammed height and wild fitment, diagnosing problems is easier too

Ohhh yeah man definitely. That does make sense though. I'm used to driving slammed, I'm just not used to driving low with poke. Now that I will have to get used to lol.

Damn, I need that in my life hahaha.

The rears are still uneven.. It's bothering me a lotttt. Lol. Anyone else have this problem with Megan Racing coilovers? I took off the locks, and perches, and they're still uneven! The rear driver side is like a little more than a quarter of an inch lower than the rear passenger side. I'm stuck. On top of that my ABS and VSC lights are still on. I wonder if they even work anymore..

[ezhacker1]

My rear is also uneven. It must just be the car body isnt just not even laterally but also ride height.

My passenger side (or is it driver i forget) is like yours about a 1/4 inch lower. I have to keep one ring on the perch just to even it out. So one side has a ring the other doesnt.

As for ABS and VSC. Check the abs connector. either its loose or the abs sensor is dirty.

Ahh okay so at least I know I'm not the only one with this problem! Thanks for the help man. My friends say I might have stretched the wires when we lowered it or something like that..

[TerenceCruz]

You guys see the difference in height in the top picture? The rear is just a little higher but its bothering me haha.

[TerenceCruz]

Here's a picture of her good side haha. This is how low I want the rear to be. (Obviously since I cannot go any lower until I get shorter stiffer springs haha)

[ezhacker1]

I wanna get my stock wheels back out to see how low the car looks with them on lol.

But yeah, maybe just add the perch to the driver side. I myself wouldnt ride without the perches, then again im on 9k 6" springs so they dont compress much so can fall out.

Being lazy that I am, what are the spring rates on the megans, and are the rear shocks height adjustable?

Fronts are 5k, Rears are 2.5k. Yeah if if these springs did not compress the way they do I would not ride without the perches either. Also, the rear shocks are height adjustable. But I threaded them down to the limit I think. There are still threads but it would not let me go down and more. I don't know why. Laz said he thinks they're supposed to stop there. I'll post pics.

[TerenceCruz]

Hey Jonathan, didn't you tell me about these springs you saw on eBay?

[TerenceCruz]

Here is the driver side rear shock. It looks like I can thread the nut lower but I remember not being able to.. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try. If I could thread the nut down just a little more on the passenger side that would be PERFECT!

[ezhacker1]

yeah i got Stance coil springs to replace the 4k/4k from my cusco setup. about 50-60shipped per pair on ebay.

How much preload are you running on the front and back? you can lower the back to an extent with the strut height, but keep in mind every time the back wheels are off the ground, the spring will be pulling the strut apart, also you reduce the strut shaft travel length.

For sure thanks man. What're the spring rates on your Stance springs? Also, preload I'm not quite sure.. My friend helped out with that. For the rears I don't think we did any preload for that..

[ezhacker1]

9K/9k Stance 6in springs.

yeah keep preload to a bare minimum, least for the front. The rears, actually you cant preload it, because moving the strut body just moves amount of shaft travel. But still you can bust a strut .

You cant get any more lower/higher than what the springs/ spring perch / lock rings give you or lack there of. So trying to thread that rear strut lower, wont give you more low. The front yeah, the shock body adjusting will control the car height, and not the spring lock ring.

@terrence I cannot tell the difference lol. Also do not shorten your shock much more. All of us with Megans who went too short with out shock length wound up blowing the shock.
