Megan Track Coilovers Issue

I have installed the megan track coil overs and having issues with the wheel clearing the pearch for the spring.

I put them on as they came in the box. Measured and needed to take 2.5 inches out of the front to lower the car.

I then took the bottom part that mounts to the hub and raised it 2.5 inches. I did not touch the spring at all.

When I put my NT03 17x9.5 back on the tire does not clear the spring pearch.

I cannot find anywhere, that shows a setting or measurements for the megan coilovers. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Megan coilovers are wider than the stock units right where the tire would be. The stock units have the spring above that point, so it doesnt come into play. When you get coilovers, you might have to run a small spacer because you have too high if an offset on your wheels. It sounds like you will need to run a small spacer to clear.

Yep thats what it looks like it is going to come down to. I raised the height of the car back up a bit enough just to clear on the fronts.

Time to order a very thing spacer to get that extra bit of drop.
