Wow "iceman" that drop looks really good. Can anyone with the Megan coilovers chime in and tell me if the Megans can go that low

Iceman, are those the 20s on the car, what widths and offsets?

What do the Tanabe sustec pro 5s go for?

iceman i like the drop your tanabes give. No clunking or clicking noises with them? Hows the ride? I heard KW was a really good brand for coils

depends on your budget. KW3 is on sale right now for $1500. If you have money for it then go for it. As for BC coils and Megan. Pretty much the same. If you search more there is BC coils Vs. Megan. Also Circuitms is having a sale on BC coils so you should pm him. If I were you just get BC because since its on sale you're pretty much paying for something that is a little better and for the same price.

Installed is about $200.. maybe more depends.

the aluminum pillow ball upper mount on the LP series coilovers transfers more road vibration, so you'll hear a lot more of that. also, you'll hear the squeaking of metal on metal on certain transitions, but i wouldn't consider it un-typical for coilovers w/ aluminum pillow ball upper mounts to have this kind of "noise".

if you actually searched for and read that thread, you would've found out that there are actual differences between BC racing coilovers vs. megan racing LP coilovers as explained by CircuitMS. without getting too much into detail, they're NOT (exactly) the same.

Both pics are what i want. I want the slammed looked on stocks until i find wheels i like.

Rob, that pic makes me want these coils with 20s but my car will look too high with 20s slammed with No kit.

Can you tell me our fender mods and wheel widths?

Thanks.
