Just got it installed at Tommy at Musicbox. Had him raise the car up to 2 finger gaps all around temporarily to make it to the fender rolling shop with the wheel specs I plan to go with. Will post pics after the slammage.

Someone please show me how to remove the trunk liner to access the shocks? Any diagram? Thanks.
What is wheel c/l? . Don't know much about suspension but planning on getting this coil. How much do you guys preload it? And what's the preferred dumper and height setting for daily driving?

For the trunk liner, all you got to do is yank that ish out starting from the bottom.

Did you modify your inner fenders?? I had mine that low for about 10 miles and already rubbed a hole in both front inner fenders.

So the coilovers are way too soft for my set up and i learned the hard way. Anyone trying to be low with aggressive wheels should opt for a stiffer spring rate. Car will rub even on full stiff with mildly aggressive wheels.

but i do agree the spring rate is soft. at the same time, it retains some of the OEM feel to it. thats a plus side to a lot of luxury car owners IMO. but at the same time, i do agree with having a stiffer spring rate at well.

Megan EZ's are called that for a reason I think. It probably means take it EZ on these coils, they arent a racing setup, but they'll get you where you want to go in relative comfort with a lowered overall height.

They are for daily drivers. Not something you would want to put on a track car. Most of us don't "track" our cars anyway tho. The Street Series are a better choice if its going on something that is going to be both a DD and the occasional track car. And obviously the Track Series would be for the designated track cars.

I'm slammed. 20x8.5 +30, 20x10.5 +32.
I'm just noting that for people who want to go low and wide, this isn't the coilovers to do it with. I'll probably get them revalved to a stiffer spring rate at megan sometime later if the shocks blow on me from running full stiff the entire time.

All four of my fender's are flared. It's not rubbing on the fenders, it's hitting my bumper. I've already cut, grinded down everything I could in the front bumper but its just too soft. Now my bumper is tied on by zipties and barely holding on.

Anyone having problems with these in terms of how long they last? I want to put them on my DD is250 AWD, but am concerned how long they will last without problems. I only plan to lower it 1-1.5 inches just to close out the gap of my wheels
