Does anyone know how low can you go on coilovers without rubbing on 195/50/15?

Pretty darn low. I'm nearly at full UP in the rear, and the fronts could go down a lot more if you're going for a show car look. It'd be miserable to drive that low, though.

Thanks for the info! It would be a miserable ride even with coilovers?

The Megans are pretty stiff, even at soft settings. If you're looking for a nice, soft ride with coilovers, check out the Tein Basics.

sorta..might have been using the wrong bolt at the top of the bearing

also lowered the height in the front another 1/2". still sits a bit too high above the strut top, but ill live with it, i guess

Silly question but how do you adjust the height for the rear? Is it the spring or the damper?

I'm resurrecting this thread in hopes that 39 might post that DIY/pics he promised?? :)
If nothing else, how did you go about pressing-out the strut bearings? There is a lot of great info about these coilovers in this thread, it just takes a while to find it.

Any chance you can post some dimensions/settings for your current setup? Like, how much rear shock thread is showing? How much preload did you end-up going with? How low did you drop it without lots of rubbing?

Thanks! the thread alone has been mucho helpful.

Hey guys! Im really trying to understand this install, but can someone give me some info on the rear shock to begin with? I dont quite understand the purpose of the threads on the bottom of the rear shock? What is it used for and how do I adjust it?

Thanks!
