The M3 has KW V.3 on it so they are ok. I will test the Megan Coilovers and then tell you how they feel. I just have to get that S2000 first.

to be honest with you, when i put my megan track series' on just for shits and giggles i put the coilover on the lowest setting and after everything was put back together and the car was taken off the lift i tucked my almost my entire tire on the stock wheels BUT there is no way you could drive like that because the perches of the coilover were stuck on top of the control arm. Just wanted to see how low the car could go, then i spent 2 hours on the lift getting my perfect drop. So in short yes you can slam the car. And anyone who doubts megan, dont knock em' until you've tried them. I've had Tein FLEX's on my car and buddy clubs on my first S and honestly i can drive my car much faster than i couldve with the flex's and buddy clubs.

That sounds great! The handling is not veryt important. It will be far away better then from what Im capable to drive. I just want the car to sit LOW and I guess that they will do the trick. Thanks guys!

I wouldnt go with the Megan coilovers. As far as their bars it is a weaker material, but if you are street driving you will be fine. For right around the same price get GC coilovers or Skunk2 coilovers (if they are available for the s2k). You will hav ebetter ride quality overall.

Groundcontrol and Skunk2 are not true coilovers, they Megan coilovers are a much better setup. I've owned GC and wouldn't recomend them to anyone.
