E30 Megan Coilovers thread!

Your best bet is to run shorter front springs. Please contact me if you need to order some, this will be a good time to change the spring rates if needed as well.

questions

Is everyone running these still running preload in the front? I have my preload set at 5mm in the front and the shock is threaded all the way down in the tube which is welded to the knuckle. Can't go any lower. I would assume the only option to make this setup go lower in the front would be shorter shock cartridge and shorter spring?

Thanks

Yes megans will clear the setup, but you'll want to be VERY careful when installing. Megans are the same size as the factory cartridge tube if im not mistaking.

Hi i have an 87325is widebody with esm 002r 16x9 et15 and 16mm spacers and i run 245/45/16 f1s all around. Right now i have roughly an inch between the cartridge housing and the tire/wheel. Will megans clear this setup?? How much bigger are they than the factory cartridge tube? Thanks for the help

The 45MM and the 51MM depend on what year your car is pre 86 318is 318es were 45mm anything past 87 or any 325is or i's oe 325es's were all 51mm.

Excuse my ignorance, but i'm looking to buying the Megan coilovers, but there are some that say with 45MM and 51MM. Now this car might see track one day and thats a big maybe. What does that mean and really i just want a nice drop with somewhat good driveability. Any help will be appreciated.

How far down did you adjust the rear? are you afraid that the shock will bottom out?

[obes]

WRX's are heavy son's of guns megans/bc are best for light weight cars.

yes, i did do the research. thanks for letting me know. however, this is a megan thread... so i posted my 2 cent in to see HOW to get it lower with MEGAN coilovers.

Megan, BC, CX Racing, Ksport, etc. are all the same thing. The only difference between BC and the rest is they have a slightly larger diameter. Therefor, if you want to ask a question about MEGAN coilovers and HOW to get it lower, it will be relevant to any and all coilover sets of that nature
