Guys, Look at the photos carefully. Notice the springs preload isn't set? I am still waiting for BEZ to respond to my question. If he ran it like that it's possible the shocks are damaged. You're supposed to lower the shock body into the bottom mount to lower the car not lower the lower spring perch.
BEZ apologies if you did run it with proper preload and the photo is after you've messed with them. Just looking out for the peeps on here.
Quote from the installation manual
"c.) Often times when this limitation of the shock body adjustment is reached, people choose to lower the two locking perches of the spring to lower the ride height even further. Megan Racing does not recommend this as it will potentially cause the suspension to bottom out against the bump-stop which effectively creates an infinite spring rate—this has negative handling effects and may also cause damage to the shock. NOTE: Lowering the two locking perches would introduce play in the spring and may inhibit the spring from seating correctly once the vehicle is placed back onto the ground. Effective shock travel is minimized and decreases the life expectancy of the shock body."
