The front height adjust is very easy and smooth. The clicks on the dampening adjust could be a little more "clicky" but they seem good.

As for drilling holes I dont understand and maybe I didnt read it right, but why? I just took of the entire under cowl and didnt have a problem accessing everthing.

But all in all a good buy in my opinion. I have a track day at Pocono in a month and I will give my impressions after that.

Oh and they are stiff........no body roll and not for the faint hearted. Pics up soon.

I didn't think the cutting would be needed. Thanks for clarifying. I love a nice stiff ride. May not even need any bars from what you are saying. Nice.

I see you have some bars and braces though.

Megan coilovers are manufactured in Taiwan. I contacted Megan and that is what they told me.

Well, it looks like I will probably be going with Teins after the review I read tonight. I plan on driving my car on the street.

have you gotten a true opinion about the tein's though yet brick, like the one that was given on the Megan's?

ha ha, no I'm pm'ing people for the TRUTH

I know by comparing the spring rate there is a big difference there. Megan I believe has the ability to go somewhat lower than the Tein coilovers. They are max at 2.8 and 3 in the rear but that is where I want to be a full 3.

Guys, please re-read the review. I went out and made changes tonight and made some updates. Sorry about the bad info... it did not change everything, but created a much better set-up...

I am think to go with a set of Tein...
Just go off topic a bit, how is the ride with Tanabe's spring? I wonder since everyone says Tein coilover is better for daily drive.

E-mailed Megan Racing to find out how much drop can be obtained out of the Megan Coilovers for Yaris, below is there reply...

There's about a 3" range in the front and 2.5" range in the rear for that car.

I am disappointed about this. Looks like I'll be going with the Tein Basics. Better for street (comfort) and more drop in the rear.
