Question

When installing Megan lowering springs, do I need adjusters or additional pieces or just put them on the struts to make them work?

Are you talking about other suspension parts? Like Camber arms and such?
The springs themselves will sit right in the bucket or slide right onto the shock

No just slide them right on, the shock will compress when the car's weight is on it. You don't need anything else to make the springs fit

Camber arms front and rear and toe bolts if you want to be able to get the car aligned correctly after you install the springs.

I'm on Eibachs and I needed them front and rear. I don't think you can get less of a drop than Eibachs.

Agreed. I'm not a huge fan of Megan anything. I 'd spend a little more and not buy something made out of Chinese soda cans.
