Smart People - Chose my suspension

the megans come with camber plates for the front but you will need to get upper control arm replacments for the rear if your going to drop it at all ,i had my megans dropped quite a ways

so def worth getting an alignment done after you tet done setting them where you want them , when i set the height i measured from the four most equal spots on the body behind the front wheels and in front of the rear wheels to get it even , andthen used a level on the roof to double check front to rear and side to side ;)

Well I was wondering if I could get away without the rear arms if I didn't lower it too much just to save some money.

As far as the bolts, I just heard the aftermarkets help lock in the alignment? Not sure. I will definitely be getting an alignment, though!

Lou, Terry started a package deal on the control arms. You can get them for $125 when purchasing the coilovers, a savings of $30 over buying them later.

My opinion is just to get them. You can't go much lower than stock without the need for the arms. Do really want to save a few dollars on arms, only to spend it on tires because of them being chewed up?

Well if I get the arms I will get the upgraded ones which are more, but your right. Better to buy them instead of buying them later anyhow and getting another alignment. Now just need to decide if I wanna do bushings and/or aws delete at the same time..

Thanks!

Just ordered the Megan's and arms. Now need to find the right size boots and decide if I need camber bolts? Super excited to get these on and get an alignment!

these should work for you

Also not sure what your car weighs but this is an MR evo corner weight

Also, the swift springs are progressive rate.. same as stock at first (about 200lb/in) then going to about double that.

Good grief, that's fantastic! (balanced)

Just installed NEX coilovers on my VR-4 and I'm very satisfied. 620 shipped to my door with a 1 yr warranty. They ride like stock ECS..mine had 90k on them and worked fine. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase them again.

My car is a street car that gets driven on chicago roads...they suck..but the car rides pretty comfy. Occasionally I go to the drag strip..but very limited times. Mostly street races and highway pulls.

I have a couple of this size left over from when I bought them. I'll let them go cheap but FYI I ruined two of six before I got mine on. LMK.

BTW I also have new stock ECS with Tein S Tech front / Tein H Tech rear. This setup is Spyder specific with the taller H Techs keeping the rear end from squatting too low. I think the stance is perfect and handling has been great however I have not attempted autocross.

I never heard of those... glad you like them though. Pretty impressive the ride is similar to sport!
