Coilover Question

Jawed · 05-24-2016, 01:55 AM

Hey Guys,

So I have Megan Racing Street Series Coilovers. and My spring rate is just horrible. I need about 20KG. Am i able to just upgrade my springs, if so, where?

Thank You, Joe

The Megan's wouldn't be able to handle that large of a change of spring rate. They would need to be revalved.

I'm curious...

You want 20k springs because you are bottoming out with your current setup?

What makes you think your springs are the culprit and not the dampers? No offense, but Megan's not exactly known for consistency (Sorry, I'm being very nice).

Typically, no. You can't just change your springs, your valve dampening will not match and your ride will probably be even worse.

20k springs on Megans? Agreeing with others
Does the ride feel too bouncy, hence the want for stiffer springs? In that case, better dampers may be a better solution.
