they cant. yes you can replace them but you think megan will ever cover their warrenty? they shocks are designed around the pos springs they use not a legitamite spring.

I doubt the shocks are designed around their springs. Its easier to write on paper what they want and give it to the manufacturer. If they said they wanted them valved for 6k they probably are. Then megan pairs them with their shitty springs and now you have the problem. Idc Ill try it out and see how they work. I dont see how it would negatively affect the life of the shock either since i would be getting them as close to the megan size as possible. It says you can go +-2kg/mm on the struts and shocks anyway and as long as you do I dont see why they wouldnt cover the warranty. Or just lie and say they were on there when it happened.

Wow I had no idea that you guys had **** choice of coil overs. Looking it looks like the only ones even worth considering are the KW V2's. But are those even dual ride height adjustable? It would seem that anyone wanting a real coil over needs to find a fab shop (like phat cat motorsports) and have them make you custom Koni's or Bilstines, or... Motons (yeah right at 2.5k PER damper, but they do have 4 way adjustable damping...)

I like my pedders. They ride really well with the dampner setting on full soft, almost like a lowered cadillac and the adjustments on them make it easy to go from street to track.
