Some may have saw the post on facebook but for those who arent on facebook here it is again. Finally got her lowered on the megan racing coilovers and boy what a difference in ride quality between these and my eibach springs. There 5 settings from being softest on the damper and the rears are maxed out with the collars on. Fronts still have some room but at the moment its rubbing so will need to get fenders rolled.

I've never been a big fan of the low rider look with the wheels tucked up under the fenders, just my taste, but it looks really nice sitting there and that's awesome that it has such a noticeable ride quality.

It's funny that downtown driving was mentioned. Just went downtown and boy I never crawled through two blocks so slow in my life but then again those are probably the shittiest roads in town. As far as center caps no I didn't intend to leave them out. Wheels didn't come with any but I got some silver caps coming in here in about a week or two hopefully. Only silver 60mm caps I could find were from Korea! Go figure! Lol

Tire, size, and offset please. What is you drop in all corners? How many inches? Sweet Ride by the way. I got a SWP and I'm receiving my Megan Street RACING today I have the pizza rim right now, but will contemplating the MRR HR3 soon. Sweet RIDE by the way.

hey sorry guys for such long delays! i use to be super active on the forums but then facebook pages became more of my go to for everything since its so much more easier lol. As far as the wheels there gen coupe rack wheels 19x8 and 19x8.5. not sure on offset but just google stock bk1 gen coupe track wheels for that answer. as far as lowering the rears are maxed out and the fronts still have some room however ill probably be raising the fronts this weekend as the rubbing is horrible and my fender has taken quite a beating :/ Hope this helps!

Visors are just from ebay actually.

Did you ever come across that popping sound in the rear in your car? I had my brother install my stree coilovers and at first what started was just the front and now it found its' way to the rear. Granted the fix was just tightening the bolt in the front hopefully is the same fix as the rear.

i actually got a real bad clunk coming from up front. hoping to check everything over again and hope its just a lose bolt as your case. I know when going to low in the front the axle boot seems to blow out so im hoping thats not the case here. lets see ill be doing it this sunday!

^ Yeh just make sure the bolt are really tight on the endlink, we found out that was making the clunking in the front, and we also did this Megan Racing Number 3 option. we will be looking at the rear this weekend and hope to fix the clunking in the rear as well.
