Gen6 Megan Coilovers installed PICS

just got this installed today!
took the whole afternoon as we kept adjusting the height over and over as well as the stiffness. pretty straightforward for removal of the front shocks, for the rear shocks, the rear seats need to be removed. 2 adjust wrenches were included as well as warranty card and megan sticker.

on to the pics!












WORK lugs!














notice the wheel gap while hoisted. short stroke shocks.


yes, car needs a wash i know!










final height




CD6's car:


My car with CD6 (notice the difference in height by comparing the tail lights, he is on eibach springs)




Review so far:
1. please take note, i dont know the height setting of the shocks (how many twists or turns). my front bumper clearance from the ground is about 4.5"
2. 1 finger clearance front, 1 finger tuck rear. 235/35/19 falken fk452
3. stiffness set to 10clicks or 10/32. at an even road, bumpiness isnt noticeable. on bad roads, bumpiness and stiffness is increased tremendously.
4. solid feel during turns and cornering
5. remember to do alignment after installation. PLEASE.
6. please roll your fenders to avoid rubbing if you are going as low or lower than i am.
7. humps are a definite no-no, not it so much as the skirt would hit, but the EXHAUST and PIPING might scrape the hump/speed bump

that's all the feedback i have now.
big thanks to CD6 for helping adjust the height and Ground Zero for doing the whole install.

Overall...great job dude
