I never understood the fascination of lowered/slammed cars.

When I was a kid an played with my toy cars, the ones that were slammed were considered broken since they wouldn't roll properly haha.

Also, anybody remember these sweet things? I have so many still

tbh Megan came long way in performance coils. Specially 86/BRZ coils.Taka test to make sure to be right setup for our car. He did day after day testing in both road and track to get proper setup, so I wouldn't knock on Megan coils.

Not sure ALL of em, but most of their coil's quality improved. Top quality like say... Ohlins? Not, far from that, but I would say price you pay it's good quality.

Received the following today and the latter during the week.

Thanks to @Kami Speed for bringing this brand to my attention. Another high quality product from Japan to add to my build.



Exceptional Quality! Highly impressed with the Essex brand! Plans are to paint it Beatrush gold.

In case any of you weight conscious builders are wondering total weight for everything including the hardware was @15.4 lbs.



Ordered my Bride seat, rail, and side airbag cancellers yesterday.

I need more low, absolutely... you knows it's not low enough if you can easily clear your driveway..

I haven't really heard much negative things about Megans from people whom got them, most common would be that it does you good for a DD
