i dont' think they've been on anyones car long enough to give a conclusive review as to their longevity... however, i have no reason to suspect they won't last as long as you decide to keep the car, based only on the fact that they appear to be well put together and made of quality materials, and that they did spend some time on shock and spring rates.

They fit just like normal, and you can slam them. There is a pic on here some where of a first gen that was absolutely hammered.

people talking without actual hands on knowledge will do that....

i had mine low enough in the back to need a roll and slight pull to fit 19's.

19psi, what is your take on the ride quality of the megans? I have already asked a few people, but the more info from real owners the better. I ordered some megans last week with M1 autosport and I am anxious to get them and my vossen wheels installed.

well once again here is my old 91 on megans with 19s'. And it could easily go down more. My only issue with them was the ride. It was a little too stiff for my taste. But they are a good inexpensive coilover to get.

ride, would all be driver. Cant really go by what others say. I DD my drift car. That is 12/10 springs and only 1070kg. So ever car feels like a lexus to me. Think the only way you will be able to get a good idea is to ride in one.

i still like my JIC MAGIC coliver, although the Megan has a very good price for the quality. might get that if i ever get another coilover.
