Anyone blow their Megans yet? - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

^^^^ That's the reason that I am looking at these and not D2 anymore. I have heard that they do a great job (even in the CO winter). You guys think the roads are bad in OK and TX, they look like glass compared to the mountain roads near Vail and Silverthorne!! We have whole sections of road that have just kinda trailed off over the years.

Everyone loves MRs. I haven't come upon any instances of them blowing.

BUY MY MRs!!!!

What stiffness setting do you have them on?

I've had mine since just after they came out, I run on the 15th click from softest, I daily drive on em very aggressively (lots of curvy roads between home and work), I go flying over bumps, I've hit potholes, etc. and I don't have any problems other than an occasional *twang* sound from my front end at low speeds, but I'm pretty sure this is because my tie rods are shot.

I haven't blown my megans, but she's blown mines.
I like MRs. its like Misters. Or MRS.

these coilovers are one of the few things MR didn't drop the ball on.

Everything else i covered in butter.

it really sucks because these coilovers look great and im hearing good things... now I discovered I wont be able to run them :-( I have plans of eventually upgrading to 17x9+20s and seeing my friends wheels and his coilovers theres no WAY those would clear the fronts... :/

there is someone i know on NICO running 17X9 +20's with MR coilovers. Falken Hanabi's IIRC.

i dont see why they wouldnt clear...

if it dosent, just get a set of 5mm plates and i'm sure that'd do the trick...

anything under +25 for a 17x9 wheel should clear most coilovers.

17x9+20 usually is no problem. Run 17x9+15s, or just slap sandwiches on your +20s.

Yup, take them off, a Northeast winter will eat them alive. If your not going to do that look into oil coating, and spray them down at a car wash constantly.

PS Maine roads suck, we dont have summer we have construction/tourist season and frost heaves all winter/spring = perma-bumpy
