Megan Racing Coilovers?

[slpr240]

I was just wondering where someone found the megan racing coilovers(silver ones) the cheapest! Looking into buying some!

Well I will be going with the street series and will be buying from Intense Motorsports which currently has both on sale with free shipping. Their website is http://www.i-m-racing.com/240sx.html

You better be building a track only car, and I hope you plan on stitch welding important sections of your frame. Those use some really high spring rates. I wouldn't even recomend them for drifting, because it will become impossible to use weight transfer techniques, and they will suck for rougher parking lots that many events are held in. I have kts with 8/6 springs, and they are already too stiff for the street.

I wouldn't go that far... my Friend fell asleep in my car on the way back from San Antonio.

But 12/10 is retarded unless you have a full stich welded cage and huge slicks.

correct me if im wrong, but arent the Megans the exact same coilover as the Apex'i? Just rebadged?

Its debateable. They look the same but nobody has compared the dampening.

Who knows.

It's a wonder if they're the same. They are way too stiff for practical purposes, drifting or no.Way too high spring rate.

A suspension that has little-to-no travel makes all those cool heim joints and adjustable rods and urethane bushings just about useless...

Suspension travel allows for more traction. Super stiff suspension overloads tires and you slip on a bouncy patch of freeway and die!

Im not saying that they are not comfortable on the highway, but they cause me to not be able to corner as fast on most roads on the street. Don't get me wrong though, im still loving them.

its not gonna stay silver for to long. unless you wipe them down everytime you wash your car. I own the street version and its still alil harsh for daily driving.

Aren't the "street" series spring rates like 8/6 and then the "track" series are 12/10?because if they do make 8/6, I beleive thats what my tein's are and they are not that bad on the roads, as a matter of fact they don't bother me one bit, but then again Florida roads are usually nice and smooth

try a 12/10 on a nice KS backroad highway and tell me they're nice.

8/6 is max for street IMHO, and still more than what I plan on running.
