^It's not banging the fenders, it's the upper shock tower...in this general area :
From what I've read both the Megan and OEM UCAs will bang the shock tower on slammed 2ISs, but this is only on BAD potholes or bumps in the road.
BTW, love the new seats!

Well I pulled the trigger and got a set of BC coilovers with the Swift spring upgrade (10K/12K rates), a set of the Megan front UCA's, and rear camber arms. Can't wait to get them on the car and go hit the track. I think it will be a huge upgrade.

Hey brother, any update on your setup? Really interested to know how you like the Megan's UCA. I have spc ball joints on my 11 is250. I bought an put them in before the actual is250/350 kits became available, so I'm rocking the is300 kit. Its been fine for about 30k or so but recently I feel as though its moving as some people have mentioned causing my steering to vibrate and shake a little from side to side. It drives me nuts. Unfortunately I didn't do the correct torque spec method so that may be my problem and I'll try it this weekend. But if that doesn't solve my issue, I may just out my stock ball joints back in or vest in the Megan UCA. So please let me know your feedback. Thanks!

Sorry for the slow reply on this. Been really busy and haven't checked the forums in a while. I was planning on installing them myself but life got crazy and I didn't have any time so I finally just payed someone to do it about a month ago so they haven't been on the car to long. No issues to date and I have my first real test next weekend at my first track track day with them on. Big, fast track with 100+ MPH turns so hopefully they perform.
All in all I am very impressed with the adjustability of the Megan UCA's as was the tec who installed them. Tech said they went on easy and looked quality. Prior to install they were set for max positive camber which showed to give about +0.25 deg camber with my car dropped 1.5-2 inches (about a finger gap). Adjusted my front camber to -2.7 degrees with plently of adjustment still left in the arms. They seem to have a very good range. Rear camber is right around -1.5deg with the rear camber arms. About 1/16" of toe in both front and rear. Hopefully I can save some tires at the track now bit all in all it should hook up much better now!

How far lowered are you? I am on the verge of purchasing the Megan front UPA due to I have the SPC kit. I even had the installer use lock thread on the install and it still knocks loose after hitting a bad bump. Im almost maxed out on camber and hoping the Megan front UPA will solve my problem.
