Rear pic added! And thanks for all the kind words everyone!
Nutzo4lexo, you definitely cannot ride around this low on the softest level.. even at everything set to 4 from the softest, I was bottoming out and slamming into small bumps pretty hard. And I have no idea how these feel compared to any of the Tein coilovers on a GS.
4ntvings, this car is going to go fast before I make it any harder to drive around!
1gstoenvy, they're nankang ultrasports or something.. 225/35 in front.

^^DAMN! the picture in your sig is so saddening
The front just needs to be rolled a little bit more and there shouldn't be any trouble at all. As of right now, I have a little rubbing problem when the turning to the left in even a slight incline.
I'm not absolutely satisfied with the way the rear is yet.. Need skinnier tires, a bit lower, and might need to invest in one of those camber kits for a bit more camber...

Driving this low in the front has dire consequences if you're not careful like me! I unrolled/almost flipped inside out the passenger fender. So Im going to have to lift the front a little bit and re-roll the god dang front fenders.
jspecdan, I'm going to find out how much more the megans can drop soon.
ant, umm... i'll take a picture?
and I these wheels are for sale/trade! I want a different look already

I was going to make a thread of my own for these coilovers, but i thought i might as well just post here as well. Hope you don't mind Fat Felix. Anyways, here's my car dropped on the Megan LP Coilovers. Wheels are AME Shallen CX 19x9 +25 225/35 19x10 +25 245/35. I can go lower, but I dare not. The upper control arm hitting is annoying the **** out of me. Someone who's cut up their engine bay please post pics!
P.S. Sorry for the crappy blackberry pics.
