The 2 coilovers in the center, I adjust lower to make both similar drop.. Why ya talk negative about Megan Coilover? If ya have no experience riding with Megan coilover on LExus, then dont talk about it.. I try them on first and see how the ride going.. IM not a person who have no experience riding lower before, Ive learn suspension for almost 10 years and I know the different ride with coilover.. The reason I get Megan cuz they came with everything.. LEt me try them on ok.. If ya talk negative about this again, sure no problem I wont talk about this again..

I don't think SincityIS was being negative to you with that remark. He was just informing you the dangers of no preload on the suspension.

Breath VIS250P...No one is making fun of your coilovers, A couple of members on here have them and love how they ride so dont worry about it.

Its not negative feedback, and I agree with him.

If the coilovers, at full extension (droop, I think he meant to say), do not have any preload on the springs, then the springs are not correct and should be replaced. This is why you don't cut springs to lower a car. This is a serious quality and safety issue.

But yeah if the coils aren't under preload then you may want to get some longer coils. Just some CONSTRUCTIVE advice to help you ENJOY your car more.

Today my buddy and I installed the coilover on my ride.. Boy the freaking bolt from Sway bolt was pain in the *** to take them off.. By the way sorry I dont have time to take pic for installation on my car because I get off work during late time and so I started to work on my car at home. It took me 4 hours to do all four and the rear interior trunk took too long to part take a part out LOL!!! I need to raise up my ride because right now it look like 3 or more inches.. I cant beleive it.. I will take some pics tomorrow after I get off work..
