This is a smooth v8 cars and I don't think any NVH that would be picked up would be terribly annoying you may not even notcie any difference. It's not like these motors have aggressive cams and they tend to be very quiet.
i have no doubts they will fit. my question was has anyone used them and are they any good. yes, this v8 is the smoothest running v8 ive ever seen. i remember the old lexus commercials where they put a glass of water on the engine and reved it to redline and never spilled a drop.

since when does obtainability = quality?

let's call it how it is, megan makes mediocre products that are readily available at an affordable price point. whatever obstacles are encountered dealing with other, higher quality, products does not make their's (megan) any better.

I think what he means is just that the only thing budget about Megan is the price and their product quality and reliability has been shown to be up there with the more expensive brands, and to not discount them based on price alone. I agree, especially with no experience with applications for these cars. On another note, anyone see the new lower line Megan coilovers? PD I don't know if you remember but I mentioned a while back that I wish the LP's came with a polly or rubber upper mount option, well these new ones come with them, I would like to see if they are interchangeable.

I heard Megan coilovers were quality products. Thanks for the info on the new coilover line.

Maybe that had something to do with the stock motor mounts?
