I've heard mixed reviews on them. haven't tried them.. Did you pick up a set? Or are going to?

[Flipzide]

mmm try using the search function and you'll find what you're looking for.

[de3zy]

just about everyone on 240 atlanta probably would agree that they are the best bang for your buck. but i havnt tried them yet

They give you the ability to drive on rainbows and vanquish the forces of evil.

You're doing it wrong.

[Zilviasr20]

well im looking into getting some good suspensions without breaking bank. and these looked well within my price range..

[berz]

id say same some more money up but they will do the trick

[ESmorz]

[deuceforty]

for what car? im pretty sure you posted z32 coilovers..


anyway i have them on my dd/weekend warrior track slut

on the track they can be way too stiff unless you get your dampers right

spring rates are a bit too high IMO, but you can get diff springs from megan if you want.

ive got the z32 rear lower perches on mine.

bang for your buck these are great, however it really depends on what you want.. if its a DD get the street version...

[Jgrand03]

theyre complete and utter shit i would recommend stance over thos and stance is still pushing it as far as quality goes save up and do it right the first time youll thank me and yourself later

I'm using them right now. They handle ok, but they don't go low enough for my tastes. I cannot eliminate my wheel gap in the front, even with them maxxed out.

[blu808]

That is a good question.

The track series and the street series are both excellent in quality of the build. I had a set of street coilovers for my old s13 and thought they felt better than tein flex. Better in the ride quality and valving department, and also more adaptive when running stiff settings.

Better overall.

On my LS1 fc. Megan was kind enough to send us a set of the track versions. We were going to try em out and give them our feedback. The end result was that the Track version coilovers are wayyyyyyyy too stiff. Maybe if you were running 13" wide slicks all around.., but even then the valving is way off for how stiff they are. Seriously, I catch air on the freeway on little bumps.

I haven't tried the track versions for the 240s, so im not sure on that application. That is just my unbiased simplified review.

Hope that helps out.

Luke



edit: O yea. They dont go low enough either. Cant rid the wheel gap even with 18"s.
Unless you lower the spring perches. :-(

[eek]

If your on a budget, just save a lil more and get the KTS coilovers from SPLparts.com or some stance coils.

[GabeS14]

You can tell how people that actually have the coils or had them, say they are pretty good.. or at least bang for the buck..
and the ones that trash the coilovers dont seam to have ever even seen them in person..
internet brainwash...lol

It's more like if this question is asked one more time we fear the universe might implode...

[GabeS14]

exactly!!

i dont see why so many people give their opinion on something they know nothing about, and have it be overwhelmingly negative...

[KA24DESOneThree]

Imagine junk, then put "track" in the junk title.

We give our overwhelming negative opinion because it is overwhelmingly true.

[g6civcx]

For someone who is looking for the best deal to replace a worn stock suspension and doesn't know much about installation, Megan Street is the best value since it's easier to install. You save on parts and labour.

For sophisticated people with money, custom valving and corner balance.

Anybody in between are just Zilvians trying to be more than they can be.

i have had them then switched to ohlins of course the price difference was huge but so was ride quality and valving they arent bouncy like the megans and ur rear end doesnt get skiddish after the slightest bump in the road but if your on a budget like most 240 owners are then i would just go and get a set of stances those are truly the best bang for the buck

[kay_arsen]

i have'em and i dont like them i hate feeling every bump they dont cushion well

OMG Epic fail!

Back to the topic.

I had track series on my Subaru way too stiff!!

Street on my 240, they're good, but don't go low enough like everyone else and their mother says.
