hopefully i'll hear from them tomorrw about everything and we can get the ball going

 

can you find out the rear spring width and height please

 

sure i'll find out the uncompressed spring dimensions if i can

 

get it, and install it. then post pictures.

 

Also mesure the drop completely slammed so I will know if I want these or not, if it isnt atleast 3" all the way around I will pass.

 

will do guys just trying to get specifics

 

I'm very interested in these too....partner them up with some KYBs and call it a day, all my stock shocks are bad/blown right now

If he can change the spring weights to what we need, do we have to request that if we buy them?

 

idk i'll ask that unfortunately right now kyb only makes stock replacement so i'd go with ss/tc shock/struts which is what i'm going to be going with paird with this setup so

according to qwikredline this is should be a very good budget setup that retains good drivability without severely affecting the under / over steer and needing other suspension mods

the price including ss/tc shocks/struts comes out to around 450 $ unless the price goes up for a different spring rate

 

wouldn't the ss/tc shocks wear a lot faster than the kybs if you put those coils all the way down?

 

supposedly no .. i mean the kyb's are stock replacements for the the lvl 3 ion that i see they dont have ss replacements that i saw but i'll check and the ss/tc suspension is better then all the other setups lol

 

you just request the spring rate when you order, and i would call just to make sure they get the correct spring rate.

 

okay, so from what i find out the ark drop springs is like 150 something lbs/in, so the whole 5-6 kg would be stiff as **** unless you have real coilover. so to retain the comfort in a way and have a stiffer ride i say go with a 300-325lbs

 

idk i'm just basing it on what maven, qwikredline, slowion, and some others that are suspension savy said.. lol

 

well they said they can do custom rates just make sure to put it in the comments box when they're purchased .. and they might take just a bit longer to arrive since they're not the normal part


so i think i'm just going to give them a shot i havent made a final decision on the spring rates yet though

 

well it turns out my stock suspension on B&G's is TOTALLY shot .. haha so much so that now when i take left turns the car rolls so much that my left tire rubs on the fender wall lAWLZ fail

so it lokos like i'll be doing this sooner then i thought i would

 

okdioke .. they're ordered ... 350 fronts and 400 rears

 

thats cool, i got the megan coilover yesterday.

 

yea i thought about getting them and taking off the pillow mount.. but i decided against it .. since 540> 800 lol .. yea i does have dampening adjustment but if you dont know with you're doing with that .. then you can screw things up

i picked up ua set of ss/tc shocks/struts and new strut hats to go with the setup

 

hey i know, 540 is defin better than 870. but i just kinda wanna go full coil for once you know

 

well i have an idea for later.. B&G told me that if you're out of warranty they sell shocks/ struts for 125 a pop.. so i'm going to later buy the shocks.. then eventually buy the struts and hope the pitch of the threads for the coilovers are the same and i can use my current setup lol

so if that works a full coilover system would be like 700 $ however .. i couldn't take the chance at it not working out nowlol

 

my megan came in last week, and i installed it. looks pretty sweet. handles pretty good too.
