A little feedback: The megan springs are a hefty drop at 2" front and 1.75" rear. With spring rates of 300 and 250 respectively you'd expect a close to stock feel.
I'm using these on 15" rims and 205/50/15 tyres and the ride is definitely not harsh/stiff but if anything, a bit on the bouncy side. Before you say that the struts cannot support the spring, I'll let you all know that I bought brand new KYB GR-2 insert cartridges and put them on with the springs. The GR-2 was application specific and are the OEM replacement struts.
I'll probably need to go with 16" or 17" rims and tyres since my exhaust is 3" and I can't go over most humps right now. My HKS barrel sits about 3" from the ground.
All in all, I have not rigourously tested these springs/struts combo on cornering yet since I only got the chance to align & camber (a must when changing springs) last weekend.
Will post more as they are tested. |

gt4tified, I can't comment on why the bounciness is there but I do know that springs need to "break in" before they ride the way they are expected to. I know this too from personal experience as I installed a set on my car and I did get a sort of bouncy ride at first but that was about three weeks ago. I am on my original 14s with 185/55 which can contribute to a bad ride. I don't drive it much but the bounciness is definitly fading away and the ride is getting softer and smoother (compared to the initial). I don't know yet what the final ride would be but personally I am satisfied with where its at now. Cornering is firm. I lean before the car has to.
Again, thanks for the review and keep posting them. |
