Hey guys, I have Megan street coilovers and they're starting to bind up in the front (I believe it's binding, basically I get a cracking feeling under breaking and when I go over bums slow). I took them apart and greased the seats and springs, and it kinda went away for a few days but it's coming back. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Swift thrust washers and if it helped binding?

Also, SPL sells them in 60 and 65mm ID. Megan says their springs are 62mm ID. Does this mean that the 65s will be ok, or do you guys think the 60mm should fit over the seat? Thanks!

Neither swift size would fit correctly and be beneficial. Why don't you ask megan for some new ones? What kind of preload do you have on your springs?
