Typically everyone that I have come across here has said that Megan Racing springs suck. I decided to take a chance with them (I love the Orange color) and I haven't had any problems with them at all. They have about a 2" drop so it looks real nice.

Here are some pics.



If you have any other questions feel free to ask. :D

Just about a month or two. Not very long at all.

The ride is stiffer and you can definitely feel that its lower. If I had to buy springs again I would still chose the Megan Racing springs.

hey codelicious, do you have a sub in your trunk? why does it look like the rear is sagging a bit? or maybe its just that the weight dist. is way different from the hatch....

megan racing has good products but not that great, i have their full adjustable coilovers on my Galant and the shocks blew after few thousand miles but overall im happy with them

my friend purchased their springs for his Galant and he is happy with the drop but after few months the orange paint started to peel and now they are starting to rust

FYI, I have Megan Racing coilovers on my Yaris. They've been very good, however, the paint is beginning to flake off the rear springs, and there's a tad bit of rust.

Megan Racing stuff is made by BC Racing; they also make KSport and D2 coilovers.
