Megan suspension updates?

[Jiggyfry]

hahaha yea i have megan ruca's and i tremble in fear everytime i get in my car ( sarcasm goes here)

How long have you had them installed? Any problems so far? Cracks? bolts seizing? Thanks in advance.

[bribot]

about 3 months now... i drive the car pretty hard since its not my dd and they have held up so far. im not saying theyre the best ruca out there im sure the SPL ones are great also but i think people hear one thing bad about a megan part and think that all their products are crap even though they have no experience with them. they've been in rain and snow and no signs of rust or anything.

i have been rocking the megan coil overs and RUCA's for about a month and a half and they work great! ride is stiff but still has travel to soak up the bumps. front is maxed out.. wont go any lower, rear still has a about half inch to go.

Just got a set of Megan Racing rear toe control arms. I'll post pics when I put them on.

nice review on RUCA and Toe, but i heard the ruca also have a bad side to it. On Ka-t.org they sad its easy to bend and not hold up on drifts and stuff... o ya how much did they cost you?

[positron1]

I got the toes for $96.

[spider_slayer]

on-topic with megan racing.......may not be suspension but has anybody tried their version 2 short shifters?(the 1 that looks like a B&M short shifter), is it around the same as B&M?

[crash n burn]

i thought it was a knock off b&m, i've been debating..megan's stuff is good, but some parts are too important to go el-cheapo..i've heard its been good to the people who installed it, but that was like driving it a week later

there needs to be a thread about how parts have held up after 3 & 6 months..one year, different driving conditions, etc

::shrugs::..meh just an idea

[Jiggyfry]

Did you even read the thread. Go back to my first post and re-read. My intention with this thread is exactly what you described.

So far this thread has surpassed my expectations. Fellow Niconauts are still providing updates as to the durability of the parts. I can only hope this thread continues as im getting some awsome, first hand, knowledge about some parts im considering purchasing while my car is in storage.

Thanks again Nico, and keep us updated!

I have a friend here in JP with me that has Megan Track setup.Been to 4 trackdays with them, beat thet piss out of em, and they still work great. no leaks, rusted threads, or anything to be said bad

[boringdrifter]

i use to have the track setup on my sileighty and loved them until my accident

[Quail]

I hope im right in assuming its not the megan suspension that made you crash!!

[positron1]

What happened?

[spider_slayer]

i use to have the track setup on my sileighty and loved them until my accident

Whoever told you that is wrong because I have them and they stop at 0 and they stop at 32.

[drift-n-crash-180]

i got the megan coils for about 2 months now and they r holding up fine. good product for the price

[positron1]

I've been reading on a lot of forums and many people seem to be bashing Megan Racing products but I've done a little research and some of their stuff has been out for quite some time and with each replacement or upgrade their products quality does seem to be getting better does it not? Just my opinion.

[elvis240sx]

anyone have a better pic of the megan coilovers on an s13? i hear people saying that they bottum out the front in an attempt to get low. just want to see how low it goes before the adjustments run out.

[positron1]

I gots work to do...Megan Racing rear toe rods and traction control linksEnergy Suspension front/rear d-bar brackets and endlink bracketsNew rear endlinks...now I can put the front and rear sways back on!

Install pics to come soon.

yeah, i got a shortshifter off ebay that is also an B&m look alike, i believe they might be the same people who make megan's shortshifter since they look EXACTLY alike. all you have to do is throw a rubber boot on top like the B&M, and also take out the little white plastic circle thingy on the bottom and switch with a OEM nissan one and you'll be fine. shifts identical like my friends authentic B&M.

well a little update here. everything on the suspension seems to be hllding up ok. the only thing i noticed is that on the toe links and the Rucas, the tightening nuts for the adjustment screws came loose. so when installing them, you need to tighten the crap out of them i guess. they back out easily from all the vidbration. thats my only problem i had with them.

[positron1]

Good looking out. Thanks!

Blue locktite, the semi permant. i.e. you can still take them off if need be.
