I read this and feel this should have been my post about a week ago. Tried to order the same coilover and went with the cheapest price. After I order, the generic internet vendor decided to tell me they were still trying to get approved to carry Megan products. so now after almost 4 weeks, I am trying to fight the charge and get a refund

I am glad you like them so far because I am still planning on getting a set once I get this mess straightened out. Car looks nice and cannot wait to see pics with the 20's!!!!

That looks great!

I bet you only bought that brand of beer because its color scheme matches your car.

My red and clear LED tails should be here today from carson lexus then i will have spend all my extra car money i had saved up......

I Paid $1000 installed for them from grip-industries and hung out with the guys for couple hours, but that price included a exhaust massage..

(99GS4) I'm actually in sebastian, florida about 30 miles south of melbourne..

(Debonair) No, I did not buy that beer b/c it matched the car, but did turn out good ..... I'm a Coors Light person myself ....My roommates drink different stuff every week so that was this weeks venture

(4play4dr) I actually was considering parking in the grass for a while until i get my skid plates figured out... but I get the garage now so hard to pass up

The front lip I actually molded it into the front bumper and glued it with panel adhesive so its not comming off anytime soon... I just need some side skirts to go with it

If i get time sunday i will throw the 20's back on for a couple pictures

well.... i didnt have any issues with the LED tails until i was going to drive at night and turned on my headlights and the brake light out dash light came on..... didnt bother me at first but now my lights in the rear stay bright like the brake pedal is pressed even the third brake light stays on and obviously you can't run cruise control with headlights on now b/c it thinks the brake is being pressed oh well.... have to get ahold of carson and let them now these are a no go
