E30 Megan Coilovers thread!

[Rubes]

so, i got a set... installed. It doesn't go as low as i thought it would go... i know phatpho saying something about these goes low as the exhuast almost hitting to the floor? am i missing something or am i installing it wrong? the front i know it can go lower, but i haven't got the chance to lower it cause the TIRE does rub against my rim. however, my rear... i lowered it to the max and it's not that low... it's about a 2 inch drop, but i want to go lower.... for a agressive look. i'll post pictures up later.

If you want even lower with out spending money, then remove the lower lock collar on the rear and put everything to the lowest. It won't be long around So-Cal roads that you'll be raising it back up.

Rubes these are the usual issues people get with coilovers. For the front, you need to get a shorter spring so it doesnt hit the tyre. For the rear, remove all of the adjusters and pads etc and just have the spring. Alternatively, get shorter springs and run the adjusters in there.

this is where i like the fact with BC i can specify the shortest springs all round, likewise with Broadway Static. There is more to getting low than it seems with E30s.

I'd like to see pics. With my megan rear springs (8kg 130mm) and no pads, it's pretty low...see sig.

And if I wanted to spend more money? What is another option?


Also, If I wanted to get another spring? What is another good option for this
As well?

GET A SHORTER SPRING.

Geez. A little searching or even common sense would tell you that.
If you happened to search before you bought Megans, BC's, or anything of the like, you'd know everyone orders a shorter rear spring or mans up and removes the adjuster.

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

Had means on my wrx. Hated them. Always had adjustment issues and they rode like shit. Id never buy from Megan again.

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