Default Megan coils.... LP vs Easy

Wats up fellas, basically what's the difference? Is it in the ride quality.

If you want a slight drop then EZ will be fine but if you want to ride low with comfort then the LP is better. I had megan lp on my car for awhile and the ride was pretty good. I have a set for sale

LP is softer spring rates and tends to lean more to the comfort zone.

I havent ridden on EZ's yet. But im pretty sure the LP are supposed to be stiffer than the EZ. iirc, the springs rates on the LPs are higher. Also the LPs have metal top hats, while the EZ has rubber mounts.
I still think the LPs are very soft though.

The LP have a higher spring rate and more dampening. Like others said, this is good if you want to ride really low with comfort. I've had my lp's for a week now and I love them.

I know i'm not 100% sure on topic but..

I also had megan LPs on my sc300, SUPER soft even on max stiffness. Bottom out pretty much everywhere then I went with stance and i haven't really bottom yet and i went lower as well.

I can only imagine EZ being worse. But if your just looking for a mild drop then that won't be a problem.
