I'm thinking about Megan coilovers. Is there anything I should know about them for my 2009 Turbo? Either that or I was considering H&R springs.

I just want a decent daily drive and some lowering more than pedder springs.

Keep your Pedders for when the Megans break/seize/jar your brains out.

Was wondering with the stance. When you install them do you just adjust your height and leave everything else alone? Im not really sure of setting up the coils other than raising lowering them. I've heard stories of the coils banging like the spring is unseating. I dont plan on slamming it, maybe as low as H&R Sport springs.

I just bought some Ksport coilovers and I'll be lowering them all the way and taking out the locking rings. What settings is everyone running there's at stiffness/dampening wise?

Which is the better set of coilovers? DC2 Racing, BC, or KSport Kontrol. I'm interested in hearing about their ride quality, handling, lowering height... etc. somebody plz hit me up.

i ended up going with Stances, i love them but for some reason my rears are just stupid low, with the lock rings IN all the way down my fenders sit on my tires, with them raised an inch i can barely fit a finger in the gap and rubs like a *****! im going to raise the ass all the way and see what happens
