I bought some Megan streets and Isis RUCAs from Enjuku last week and they arrived at my house this morning, so I thought I would throw them on. These aren't the greatest pics in the world, all I had was my cell phone. I'll get my sister to snap some pics next time I see her. She's a photographer and has a good camera.
Here is before, the jack is just sitting there. It isn't jacked up any.

I've still got some adjusting to do. When I go over bumps the front drivers side tire rubs the wheel well cover. I've also got some kind of roaring noise coming from the rear. Any you guys know what that may be? Nothing is rubbing back there. First impressions: I've still got about a half inch drop (guesstimation) in both the front and the rear. Got the damper on 17 in the front and I think I put the rear on 14? The ride is nothing like the eBay coilover sleeves. With plenty of adjustment left, I would bet you could get it to ride almost like stock. It handles SO much better. No body roll like before. They come with noise stoppers so they don't make that squeaking noise like the eBay sleeves do.
Overall I was impressed with the build quality of them too. They felt strong, not weak and flimsy. Welds were good. Luckily, none of the bolts on my car were rusted, so they went in with out a problem. Took me about four hours to put them, the RUCAs, and then adjust all of them. I've just got to figure out what to do about the tire rubbing the plastic junk in there. Can I just take it out without a problem? Or should I leave it?
And for the Isis RUCAs. They seemed to be good quality. I'm a noob when it comes to suspension, but they also seemed to be of good quality. Welds were good, fitment was excellent. They still smelled of fresh paint when I opened them. I liked the yellow/gold color of them too. Now on to the alignment shop!
+1 for Enjuku. I wasn't sure about the RUCAs. They were the 'half-moon' kind and wasn't sure which way they went, so I called Enjuku to see if they could tell me. Didn't take no time to get an answer and they answered my question quickly and politely. Don't know who I talked to though.
LMK what you all think, and be sure to tell me what to do with the wheel well cover other than raising it back up.
