Megan Springs: A quick review

[WRBlue]

Got em from wesellcarparts .

Rears seem the same unsprung length as the OEM springs, but are wound quite differently.
Fronts are about 1.5-2" shorter, but about the same winding.

Reused OEM shocks with 3100 miles on them.

Ride is almost stock. Noticeably stiffer over speed bumps though. A little more darty, but I haven't gotten it aligned yet. Still rolls worse than my stock WRX, but its close. And I'm running the RE92's with the OEM sway, so I didn't expect too much difference in control.
Stance is pretty good, but I'll actually take pictures in a few weeks after they settle.

As for the install...

Rears: Hardest part was keeping the rear end together while bolting up the struts! If you unbolt the struts and jack up both sides of the rear end, the springs fall out! LOL . But if you do one side at a time, its substantially harder... my advise, do the entire rear end at one time.

Fronts: Worst design I've ever worked on, easily. If I ever meet the designer, I'll punch him in the nose. I'm serious, its horriable. First of all you have to dismantle the cowl. Then after thats out of the way, the struts are held in the car by only one nut!?!?!? And that nut is on the strut rod!?!?! The top hat is just a friction fit. And is deep so you can't actually fit a wrench on the bolt. And with a socket, the strut just spins. YOU NEED TO GET A PASS THROUGH RATCHET! Like this: http://www.gearwrench.com/catalog/xl...m/gearratchet/ . You need something offset, like a ratchet, but you need to insert an allen wrench onto the top of the strut to keep it from turning. I didn't. I ran out of band-aids. I almost totally destroyed the nuts rounding them over. Do yourself a favor and get them. As for the excessively long sway bar end links, I didn't need to use an allen to keep them still, they came off with just the ratchet.

The install took 4 hours. 3 of them were wasted getting the front top nut off...

Thats my review for now.
