Just had a set of Megan coilovers here at the shop yesterday....car had to come back today.
The basics aren't bad, but the camber plates and the corresponding bolts aren't too great. The alignment shop broke one of the 4 bolts on one of the fronts. Customer decided to come back to us to fix it rather than let the alignment shop guy mess with it anymore.
The short of the long, 3 of the 8 allen head bolts snapped with little to no effort. After a bit of time trying to drill the bolts out, we decided that we'd be better off swapping in a set of Tein camber plates we had here at the shop. Once that was done, everything was kosher.
They aren't my coilovers, nor is it my car, so I'll leave any further comments to the customer.

bump for a good review, good coilovers and good vendor (Thanks Zeus!).
I just ran the HPDE at NHIS yesterday and my new Megan Racing coilovers did very well for me... I blew away all cars through turns with my Sumitomo HTRZ II (go ahead make fun, but I had no $$ at the time
) tires even against some cars with R compounds on them.
I do have to kinda +1 on the camber plate allen bolts... they do seem a bit small/weak but you don't have to torque them down with your burly wrench turning hands. My light but good tightening never came loose nor did the plates slide at all even after being driven under track turning/conditions with the dampener adjustments set around 1-3.
I'm very happy with the purchase, a recommend!

This may be a dumb question, but what series of the Megan coilovers did you get? If I'm not mistaken they DO have multiple kinds of coilovers right?
Just wondering because I'm thinking about getting a set of Megan Coilovers for my car soon...

FYI...once you have the megans set at the ride height you want....use the blue threadlock to secure it in place....i recently had one unthread and it got stuck in that position..... The guy at megan told me specifically to use loc tite on the threads once they were adjusted properly...
