"Megan: $900 (voted by DriveAccord as the “best value of coils”)" - eww

Be careful with this choice. I wouldn't install any of Megan's product even if it was free. Mine broke before the warranty was up, and it was a huge hassle, horrible customer service as soon as they get your money they are not friendly. They will ask you to send pics and just criticize it. They didn't even resolve my problem and I had to shell out another 1.3k k for TEIN coilovers. Be very careful with "best value," there is a reason why you pay a little more for the coil.

-My two cents, you can try it out if you wanna be cheap... but there's a chance it will bite ya. g'luck

seen the responses towards chocopie first hand. belittling customers and trying to make them look stupid is a very questionable business model.

If you're on stock wheels, no.

If you have non-OEM wheels, what's the size and offset?

Lowering doesn't automatically mean you'll rub or will need fenders rolled and flared.

Anyone have any pics of the H&R coilovers set all the way down on a sedan? I have had H&R's before on previous cars and really loved them, just want to make sure they go low enough cuz I like to ride pretty low. If they are not low enough, I will just go with Tein basis......Thanks guys and any opinions are welcome

[andylim1]

@namegoeshere, i forgot the offset but it looks pretty fine on my sedan.
