Yeah I'd like to know how much neg they can add.
People will rant about how awful megan stuff is, but in my experience, they're alright, they just don't last long. they're cheap as hell though. |

I've never used their suspension parts, but their headers and exhaust parts didn't fit worth a damn. That, and the O2 sensor bungs were nowhere close to the right location.

doesnt look terrible, megan is hit or miss. I know some people who've broken stuff, others who have been on the same megen arms for years with other platforms. Im curious as to the range, and also how soft or hard the bushings they're using.
Did they HAVE to be pink? :/ |

IMHO...I think they are garbage design. Out of all of the camber arms I've seen the doran ones are whats up. Since I am not a tracking type guy I have the kinetix arms. I got 40k on them with numerous spirited driving occasions. The only problem I had was last year I got the popping sound back a little bit but that was because the upper ball joints needed greasing. Used mobil 1 chassis lube and re-lubed the bushings like no other. I liked the doran because you could add the spacer plate in and really accurately control the camber via fine tuning with shim packs. the bolts on these look like 1/4-20 to 3/16-18 at best which are thin bolts that don't offer a lot of tq value and allow for slip. if they were 1/2 or 3/8 they would be better. just my 2 cents.

Buddy of mine has some cheap megan coilovers that came on a car he bought recently. They use what looks like those same hex key screws, but only 4 of them.
Granted that car is a little lighter in the front than the Z, they don't slip at all so far as we can tell, with a reasonable 40-50ft lbs on each one. AND that's with only 2 for camber and 2 for castor. Neither slips. This setup has 6 of them and they're clamping to steel rather than aluminum... I don't think slippage would be an issue since it's spreading the force out over the entire plate. Edit: had my facts wrong, corrected above... Last edited by Sh0velMan; 08-15-2013 at 02:37 PM. |

Looks like decent design and price point. $300 is dang cheap. Suspect SPL will be $700 range and Doran is crazy at over $1700.
Think I'm to point of making my own soon.
