Who is? Me? KDMZILLA? Megan? Who are you talking about?

Found the listing for 2015+ coilovers:

Now I need to find reviews on the quality of these things. I remember when these were an eBay brand so I wonder how far they've come since then.

Didn't see much of a difference from the pics between stock and their setup.

They're coilovers so they're adjustable. I wonder what setting the pictures are on and if they are representative of the highest settings or the lowest or somewhere in between. Pics of KDMZILLA's car look amazing though.

Sorry guys, been out of the loop for a minute.

The pics on Megan's site are with the coilovers maxed out (as high as they could go) in height in the rear, I think the front still had room to go up. I dropped it about an inch all the way around until I rolled the front fenders, then dropped it again to get the right look. Overall the quality was as good as you could expect from a $900 set of coils. Megan ended up increasing the spring rate on the front because of the ride feel.

I have been riding on them for over a year and havent had any mechanical issues or noises. Only issue is not having a camber kit for the sedan, you end up chewing through tires.

You've been out of the loop for a while meaning don't answer IG Dms dont even answer your phone............Oh by the way, thank you for your lies about the vegas trip and hotels.... Congrats....

Easy Captain Emo. I realize that I told you I could hook you up with a room, and at the end of the day I apologize for letting you down.

On the real, just a piece of advice, when someone tells you that they can help you, dont blow them up every 20 minutes looking for updates, timeframes, emails, confirmations a month before the sh*t was even going down. I am a grown ass man, with a grown up job, I cant be dropping everything Im doing 5 times a day to make sure I answer to your every beckon call. The last thing I needed was to have to hold your hand through the whole process, then have you blow up my connect in Vegas and treat him the same way.

Calling me a joke? Get the F outta here with that sh*t. You played yourself.

Sorry to have spoken badly about mister Grown ass man with a Grown up job

I guess at this point it really doesn't matter. We both know what really happen in this cause... So I will accept your apologize. At least you did something that a "grown ass man would do, 6 months later lol"

Last time I checked: when someone books a room a confirmation is given... (Takes 10 seconds to send a text with the info so that the other person could have it) Dam I was asking for to much LOL
Last time I checked: you want to book things in advance that's called good planning
Last time I checked: Making sure things are done is what people do so they wont get any surprises at the last min

Do you guys really have to post this on a public forum for all to see? It's a bunch of "he said, she said" that's completely irrelevant to anyone but you two.

Has the Megan coils affected the drive select mode? Still able to go from Eco, Normal, Sport and have the same changes to steering, throttle, etc?

KDMZILLA, what damper setting you have your coilovers set at? Just had mine installed and am experimenting with how stiff or soft I like. Just curious where you have yours so I can stop messing with them. Also, how do you adjust your front dampers? The top knobs aren't as easily accessible as the rear adjustments. I'm currently at full soft in front and 3 clicks from full soft in the rear, measuring at 26.5" from ground to center of wheel well arch at all 4 corners.
