After camber issues, and blown shocks, I'm interested in these Megan Racing coil-overs for my car.

http://www.streetbeatcustoms.com/Meg...K_HA98/773739/

They state that they "come with fully adjustable Pillow-Ball upper mounts to easily tune and adjust your camber."
1. Is this true about camber adjustment? If so, how do they adjust camber when my Accord is supplied with adjustable upper balljoints?
2. Will these coil-overs require any modding to my car, or should it be a direct fit? They look like they'll replace the entire OEM strut/spring assembly. I'm looking for a "plug & play" set up with a good outcome.
3. Gas shocks are included in this kit, correct?

Anything I should worry about? Thanks guys

 

Since this is my daily driver, these coil-overs may be extreme. Who can suggest a comfortable, yet somewhat aggressive strut/lowering spring combo?

 

i havent heard much about megan coils for our cars but i will personally recommend form and functions

 

Honestly, Tien SS are very good for daily driving. I'm considering selling them as well. If your interested, throw me a respectable offer. I'm local

 

he has a 98

 

I think they don't make adjustable camber adjustment with shocks for accords. And Megan are actually really good. I beloved they are similar to the new tanabe suspension. They are about almost as stiff as function and form type 2.

 

Don't mean to thread jack but I'm in the same boat. I'm looking to getting coilovers to replace my blown shocks. I figured if i'm going to spend just as much to replace shocks, coilovers would be a good bang for buck. I have a 99 accord v6 so simliar car to you right OP? Let me know what you get eventually and how it feels. I'd appreciate the suggestion

I've gotten many suggestions for FFtype2 as well.

 

How about the TEIN BASIC coilovers?

Stay away from basic. The springs are too soft and most importantly, you have no damper adjustability. If the ride is too soft, you can adjust to make it hard, if it's too hard, you can adjust to make it soft. It'll suck getting stuck with one setting, don't you think?

 

Well, I enjoy the current ride set-up & the way it sits. However, my shocks have been crappy lately & figure if I'm getting new shocks, get new springs. The previous owner had installed Sprint lowering springs, along with Sprint shock absorber. I am still riding on them now, but I'm hesitant to invest into the same brand since their website products page is pretty much useless in describing where I'm putting my money. They don't specify or give any details/information/specs on their products..Just a pretty gallery. Wtf?
I can't really seem to find customer reviews, either.

1. Do these prices include pairs, only struts, or springs, or both?
2. How can I tell if my Accord currently has the 1.5" or 2.25" drop? Running 215/45r17

I've heard the suggestion of AGX/Pro-kit combo. That seems to be a moderate deal. $600-$800

 

Megans are CRAP!!! spring rates dont match the shocks. Teins also became crap with in the last few years. I personally like stance (i had them on my 240 and loved them)

 

Your statement is lacking any type of structure or support to backup your ridiculously vague comment. Since when is TEIN crap? Do some research

 

sprint? dont tell me there those blue ones?, anyway megans and teins are great!

 

megan has really upped their game in the last few years. better materials and welders etc. But tein and tanabe is always good. Go with tanabe if you want a good ride quality for a DD

 

Your criticism about damper adjustment is fair, but as far as them being too soft I think that's more of a personal thing. For the purpose they are designed for (cheaper coilover with ride-quality) they have always seemed to be spot on to me. I haven't heard very many people complain about them unless they want to go REAL low or something.

Again, if you think they are too soft, that's fine. Just a difference in opinion.

I would agree that Megan Racing stuff still falls a bit short in most areas (especially their coilovers, as you can get much better for an equal-to-better price point) but I think your statement against Tein might be a bit unfounded. If you have evidence though, please share as I'm sure a lot of people, myself included, would like to see it.

I'll admit that I've seen some Megan Racing stuff holding up better than I would've thought. I agree on the Tein and Tanabe. I didn't even know Tanabe had coilovers until my friend got some for his Civic (never thought to look). They ride really nice.

Function & Forms, as well as the ever popular Ground Control/AGX or Illumina coilover combo, also get a vote from me.

 

The brands mentioned in this thread all have good quality product, with some brands being more well known than the others. For a daily driver, you'll probably want to take a look at spring rates and dampening adjustability. You probably don't want anything with really high spring rates, unless you want to feel every bump in the road. Everyone likes their ride a little different. Dampening adjustability is your key to dialing the car in to how you want the car to feel.

Also, an improperly configured coilover system will lead to sub par handling. Whatever you do end up getting, make sure you get an alignment after letting the suspension settle.
