Default Megan Racing Srings anyone????

so i am looking to buy another set of springs for my 2011, i had Road Magnets on my 2010 but sold them, i liked ride quality on them but im not sure if i wanna drop 2" this time around, i was looking online and found Megan Racing makes springs for the 06-up IS, the price is also fairly cheap compared to most other springs, i found them for $130-$150. Most sites show they drop 1.5 all the way around, but on the Megan site it shows the drop is 1.25, i tried finding a pic of them installed on a IS but couldnt, does anyone here reccomend these springs or will i hav to be the first.

Since you're only buying springs (not coils) I'd spend the extra $80 for a quality and reputable brand. One test that some spring companies is the European TUV standard. It's stricter and higher quality. Eibach has this. Just my 0.2

honestly, i was thinking of getting Megan or BC coils, but i dont want my car slammed, i like how the Road Magnets dropped my other IS, i was going to use them again for my 2011 but im afraid to drop it low bcuz i dont want to mess up my front lip.

That's the beauty of coils. you can ride at stock height if you wanted! If you scrape your lip, then raise it. With springs...that's all you get. H&R are good springs though and TUV approved.

I had the megan springs on my car for 40k miles with NO problems. I would also be willing to be there are no members on this forum that have been harder on the ISx50 than me.
