Im ok on the lp's, I got the megans on a group buy here and it was well worth it. The ride is actually great. IMHO it feels better than stock. Not as floaty as the stock was. not bouncy either. Only thing i dont like is the fact i cant clear anything. I pulled into a gas station and the cover to the well caught my catback.

I had to roll my front and rears. Mine are 18x8.5 fronts with +25 offset and the rears are 9.5 wide with a 5mm spacer +30. the front rubs but not the rear.
