Megan suspension updates?

[Bumnah]

i have a megan test pipe. it's about the only megan piece i'd run on my car, oh maybe the brake booster shield too. yeah... maybe that one too.

[Clawhammer]

I know that but why do you need an adjustable one?

[Dammitboy]

Here's what i went through recently. Got a set of tension rods for my S13, as I tried to install them, I noticed that the bolt would not pass through the sperical bushing. I had to grind away some material to get them to work.

Alittle pissed, I sent a letter to megan corporate. Got an apology, but that was it. They did say that some of their machining had been off lately. Beware!

[Morph]

Yo whats the cost of replacement shocks for the mr streets?

[Whyteboy92]

im about to order some megan coils for my s13 tonight. how stiff are the tracks for a dd weekend racer or just go with the streets

[SeanC]

my MR coilovers and RUCA's have been working so well. i just ordered the toe and traction arms! no rust no corrosion. working great riding stiff. btw tougefactory.com has the BEST prices on MR stuff.

[homeslicej2]

I'm getting Megan RUCA's, T/C rods, and outer tie rod ends. I will post info about any problems, perks, etc. after I get acquainted with them. I also run Eibach sportlines w/KYB GR-2's.

[S14toRPS13]

I drove all the way from Savannah, GA to Sacramento, CA, then onto Seattle, WA. My Megan RUCAS, toe arms, and t/c rods are all still as strong as the first day I recieved them.

[homeslicej2]

He*ls yeah! that's good to know.

does anyone have any experience with the megan tension rods?? i just installed my megan streets and i need to get my caster adjusted... i've heard about SPL but i havent really heard anything aboout the megan adjustable tension rods...

[stevespeed]

A friend of mine has run atleast 1 if not maybe 2 seasons of autocross on a full megan rear setup on an S14, he daily drives it every now and then too in a city with TONS of pot holes so if they survived all that I guess they will survive the nicer area's of CA and the southern states.

[Fenris]

i bought a set, should be coming in tomorrow and plan to install im asap.

[E7-S14]

ill have a review on my Tracks in a few daysthey will also be coming in tomorrow

well, actually the box was droped out side my garage, so i got:





Pardon the phone camera but i am very impressed with the quality of these, fit and finish gat an A+, also phase2 was nice enough to price match to Enjuku's price for me, 2x score.

[xyrho]

let me know how they work out for you

[S13NismoStyle]

I have been running megan street coilovers and RUCA's for about 8 months now and have had no problems with them at all. I do about 2 hard touge runs a week and have gotten sideways with them quite a few times. They are still holding up great.

[xyrho]

thats good to know, im thinking of buying the tension rods, i already got the coilovers, but i wasnt sure about the quality of their other suspension parts

[D1slyderstyle]

Im looking into buying some coilovers for around $1000 and it seems megan might be the way to go, but the only thing im worried about is if they will last. My other option would be KTS, I havent really heard anything bad about them and if something does go wrong they are only $550 to rebuild. Any suggestions?

[Jiggyfry]

Bump for more updates. Anyone still running the same Megan suspension products? Any issues so far? Anyone break an arm?

[zenkii]

I had their megan street coilovers, megan rear toe, megan rear arm. The coilovers were too stiff(rough), made tons of pinging noise, and people blamed those problem on camber balljoint and bad valving. Although they did perform good on the touge, their just too stiff on bad and crack roads of streets where i live. About the megan toe, they get the job done but they arn't top quality. The balljoints already rust under the dust cover , causing lots of sqweeking noises. And about the megan upper arms, they get the job done but they're "balljoint screw" quality doesn't seem to cut it. The balljoint screw seems like it would bent easily over little patches of rocks, dips, and uneven pavement when your sliding. Furthermore, megan products are not extremely bad but you are able to see the difference between top notch performance brands like cusco and teins.

Note: i replaced the coilovers with tein and cusco tension rods

I have the Megan tracks, and I can't say anything bad about them yet. I like them.

[Jiggyfry]

Thanks guys, Im hoping some members who've had Megan arms etc installed since the start of this thread will share some long term opinions, rants, stories, whatever.

[YoungGun]

I had Megan Tracks on my Subaru for about half a year. They were very stiff but that's what I paid for. Seeing as how they were good on the Subaru I decided to put the Streets on my Nissan. I can't complain they work fine and definitely give the car a better feel over stock suspension.

[slidindownhill]

good thread, i've been looking to to the M products latly. and they've been impressing me as of late. :

[Night_Stalker]

i went with all megan arms, and battle version LCAs. and Kazma tie rods. i have had no problem with them so far, except for the megan T/C rods in the front(obviously) it seems i over tightened them, and they are siezed, i cant get my allignment back to stock spec, i need to replace the traction rods, bacsuse i am worried the alluminum will break before it loosens.... i plan to replace with battle version T/C rods...

[rb25crazy]

so, is it safe to say all the megan racing suspension arms are good? like ruca, toe, traction links?

[Jiggyfry]

So far thats what im gathering. Im going to wait until January to make my decision. This winter is all about my suspension and im considering going Megan.

[s13fOr_me]

it seems that quality on their parts have gotten ALOT better from before.

[duffman1278]

I guess I'll be going with megan soon enough. Their coilovers have a really good rep

[thefro526]

How 'bout the MR tierods and tierod ends? I was looking at teins but i figure if I'm gonna get some other MR parts (Rucas) I may as well keep it all MR.
