@Def, I am thinking about those hydraulic perches from hyper coils, but I will look at thrust bearings and torringtons...

But seriously, I think springs will help and will make a difference.... But its worth a try, if not I can always reuse them some where else....

$170 a pair isn't too bad.... But keeping in mind about roll center and ride height is huge too...
You've got to be kidding me at putting hydraulic spring perches on a set of Megans!!!

Those things are about $700 for 4, which is how much your whole set of coilovers cost. Plus they need to rebuilt every 10-20 HOURS of use. That's right, you went to the grocery store and back, you just used up 1 hour of your rebuild window. They are absolutely NOT for street cars. Torrington bearings are hard enough to keep clean with flushing them out every few thousand miles - not hard, but it is maintenance to keep them working well.

Let me save you some trouble since you seem to actually want a decent suspension, save up for something that's worth a crap and get some GOOD dampers on the car and just sell your Megans. Even something like a Koni 8610 front/Koni yellow or Bilstein rear wouldn't be much more expensive than what you're talking about donig and absolutely blow a set of "modded" Megans away.

Please, spend some time at Nissan Road Racing Forums - Powered by vBulletin if you really want to learn about suspension that doesn't suck. Trust me, Megans are absolute junk dampers - there is just no other way to describe them.
