I'm going to get in touch with a professional drifter and have him flog on my car for a bit and let me know how it is.

The bouncyness has all but subsided, and the ride is extremely comfortable for 8/6 spring rates. The bolt holes I was fairly irritated about, but it was only 3 Dremel grinder bits and they fit like a glove. But there is nothing more negative that I can say. The camber adjustment goes out far enough to give a couple extra degrees of camber, the shock tube goes to full height, awesome construction.
Any recommendations? Surely. From talking with a few people, the spring rates are scary for some. Some sort of helper spring would solve this. They aren't necessary by any means, as even my gf finds these coilovers very bearable.

D2 coilovers for $1149!
If a zilvia member buys those, I'm hunting you down and beating you with a cheaper, better Megan Racing coilover.
That is all.

They were priced 900 before the 850 offer. 850 is even nicer obviously. But aside from the price, I think people are waiting for motorsports impressions, and technical information, which hasn't been provided. I'm all for a nice set of cheap coilovers (need a set for my other car eventually) but throwing 850 bucks at a coilover set from an unrecognized company that doesn't campaign their own race cars is a risk I wouldn't take.

I think, that even if the coilovers were not discounted, but proven, whether by competition or tech, people would not have a problem shelling out 900 for them.

Just like anything else from a start up company that enters the market, it will receive it's share of scrutiny to see if it stacks up to current offers.

Just look at the success of the KTS coilovers from SPL.

1129 is not a set price for the KTS. [email protected] said that the price of the KTS depends the current exchange rate. i saw these coilovers go under 1120 before.

sr240mike

Got my d2's for $800 shipped a few weeks ago. They can still be had for under $900 from a few places.

is that their excuse for raising the price constantly, its getting fucking rediculous, tryin to save up for em, and when I get the cash they go and raise it again.

RBS14

^^^^^
It's not an excuse. I bought a couple adjustable arms from them and checked back a month later and they were like $20 cheaper a piece. They really adjust it according to the exchange rate.

ohh so rereading it, I was actully just frustrated, however much they are gonna be it doesnt matter, cause from the reviews, Its a bargain, (the Kts) sry I made it sound like they were screwin me. but anyway, the review of the MR should be good cant wait.

Jeff240sx

Plateau. Level off. Stabilize.
All of you. Quit crapping up my thread!

UPDATE:

I called Calvin from Megan Racing... They had just found out from another customer about the 1/8 larger bolt hole that needed to be made..

They were originally test fitted for the first time with their S13 coilovers...

The S13 ones fit perfect, no mods needed....

The S14 ones they are going to fix, or you can spend 30 seconds with a dremel.. We're talking about a very minute fix... He said they are going to have them fixed on their next order from overseas..

Shoulds used a drill press. 30 seconds a piece. Thats too heavy duty for a dremel. But yeah, they should be done right at the factory.

Sorry. You seem to forget that not everyone lives inside a machine shop, and while my only means of transportation was in the air, ready to recieve the new coilovers... I couldn't go anywhere.

However, you're right. The steel brackets were heavy-duty, and didn't give in to bieng ground down.

Anyway, it's great that Megan Racing found out and is in the process of fixing that issue. That was my only complaint on these.

Hmm...im now sooooo contemplating on getting these. Just as long as these things dont pull a *JIC in a WRX while auto-xing* on me. If yall remember that story...*wink wink*

RBS14

why would you even bother? there are so many other race/drift proven coilovers out there, there is no reason to buy cheap shit like this. They build a coilover for a car and don't even test fit it on there to make sure the 2 main bolts holding it to the suspension fit through the holes? Makes me wonder about the valving and build quality. Valving on HE's is somewhat weak and I can almost certainly guarantee these are lower quality than HE's. They might be fine now, but how about in a year? 240 people are so cheap they don't recognize shitty products when they are hit upside the head with them.

They are by no means "Cheap Shit."

Megan Racing is buying these from the same manufacturer overseas that produces quite a few lines of a few other brands I can assure you, you've heard of..

The quality is good, no doubt...

So anyways, where can I get them? The underground-motorsports.com website is not working. Who should I contact to find out more information about this product? And I don't think the question was answered about the rebuilding of the shocks. What kind of warranty is there on these coilovers and like, I dunno, just a bunch of answers that I need before I put down $900 for these coilovers. Also anyone want to buy my APexi WS for S13 :P I want to trade for these Megan Racing ones.
Who should I call, should I call Calvin from MR? Should I call someone from UM? I want these now.

RBS14

if this was true, then whomever they are purchasing from would know the holes need to be a certain size.

www.undergroundmotorsports.com works for me.

RBS: One bolt hole was off by 1/8". Slightly eclipsed. In tech class, when I was making things on the CNC mill, a slight error in a program will cause this. And without test fitting, you'd never know. They are getting this taken care of, what's the deal.
I don't know if I'm allowed to say what company manufactures these, but their coilovers are $1800 a set.
So really, you can think what you'd like. To me, $849 and $1129 are in totally separate price ranges. Name another $900 or less coilover, and these will compete hard.

Yes, they come with a 2 year manufacturers warranty!

So, for $850 what do you have to lose?
