I've convinced Megan to offer individual spring rates... later this year you should be able to just order a set of coils in pre-selected rates of your choice. A race coilover set is also underway... but you probably WILL NOT want these on a car that sees street duty.

Let us know when they are available!

Also, I have yet to figure out the right way to disassemble the top mount to get the spring out. Any ideas?

For the guys that have the megan coilovers on your car...

How long have they been on?
How many miles have you put on them?
Have they seen any adverse weather conditions(i.e. snow, heavy rains)? And how are they holding up?

Megan has only had to warranty one set for me... and that was a corrosion issue which I've never had before, nor since. Obviously it was taken care of. Now if you were to go off road with Street or Track units, that might be a different story.

Also, Megan gives my customers a little extra TLC due to my business relationship with the U.S. boss... one of the perks of doing business with me

You can order an extra set of +/- 2k springs for each end of the car. However, I don't think it is economical to pay Megan to switch them as they are not doing custom orders per se.

Mine have been on for over 10k w/ a few track days, seen snow salt rain sleet hail you name it, they still work like new. Btw I had my wheels off last weekend to visually inspect everything and found nothing. Ignore the haters and buy these coilovers.

Never thought to ask my customers after they have put a decent amount of miles on a set, but lexat20, if you have the chance can you shoot a few pics of your coilovers my way. I'd like to have some pics of them with the miles on them.
