Default Has Megan Coilovers enough slam-factor?

They are really cheap, but do they slam the car enough? Has anyone tried theese in their lowest setting? How was the ride height then?

All you die-hard track fans do not have to comment this post. I do not care for handling or track use, I only care for the slam factor. Thanks.

why not go for something a bit cheaper then, such as the ground control setup, or even comptech?

Megans will give you the slammed look that you want. You can slam it with these until the car is not driveable.

As for the STB, I wouldn't do it. Megan's metals seem to be very weak in this case. The endplates on the Megan front strut bar I had on my celica bent when I torqued the nuts. I was able to bend it with my hand. I have no experience with the Megan STB for the S2K though.

Why do you always have to say something negative when the megans come up?! Megan's coilovers are the same as Apexi and is an excellent value. Track or not, the car handles soo much better than stock. Here is a picture of mine and yes you can drop it to make undriveable.

Thank you guys, I guess that the Megans will fit my needs very well.

I like my cars slammed, heres two pics of my M3 E46 that Im rolling in now. Im just about to sell her and buy a S2000 so that I can afford to study for the next two years.

What do you guys think?

Speed costs money? Then all of our money went to waste getting an s2k in the first place.
