Wow, now thats the kind of customer support that a company should have. Backing up behind their product and not looking the other way when there's a problem and fixing it. Good Job D2.

mr_240sx

wow, thats awesome customer suport! I really liek it when a computer accepts a falt in their product and replaces it! Good job D2 for that!

umsports

Look for a Megan Racing full write-up from one of the guys from the board who just purchased a set...

He is installing them on his S13 drift car, and offered to do a installation guide with photos, etc....

These things are selling amazingly, which is no suprised...

I hope many will invest in these coilovers, they are a steal at $845...

D2 is great, but I dont think you are gonna see Megan have to go back and fix any mistakes...

I'm not going to get into a pissing contest but just incase you haven't read this thread the Megan coilovers aren't flawless. There are a handful of Megan Racing Coilovers in the US compared to the hundreds of D2s, only a small percentage which we are having problems (although it is primarily 240SX and Maxima we are seeing the issues in). The D2s having issues were distributed before the Megan Coilovers were even released, hopefully no issues will come up with them in the future but I doubt you are willing to bet your life on it.

I don't have any personal experience with the Megan coilovers but they appear to be a nice setup, I look forward to seeing more reviews in the future and seeing how they hold up. I hope the people reading this thread make their decision in regards to what coilovers they buy based on what users have to say as opposed to what vendors think of each others products.

Jeff240sx

I agree here. Vendors propping the product more than owner testimonials is a bad idea, but what UMsports posted was definately a faux pas. Saying "I dont think you are gonna see Megan have to go back and fix any mistakes" is bad, especially to me. They messed up the mount spacing by 1/4" or so on the S14 coils. This required my time to rectify and make useable, because previously I owned $800 worth of useless tubes. Now, upon realizing their error, they fixed this issue for the next shipment, however, won't send out the correct mounts. If it were my company (or any of the headlights I sell), I would definately send replacements once I found out the issue.

hey urbanimport do we have to send our coilovers to D2 first before we get em? I'd hate to have a month's downtime on my car

The only issue was on the S14 coils, where the mount spacing was off and could be easily fixed with 5 minutes worth of work...

The new S14 coils, which are just in, have this issue fixed and as far as I know, fit flawlessly...

I am waiting to hear back from another Zilvia member who will be receiving the new S14 coils this week...

And in terms of having the correct mounts replaced, I will let Calvin at Megan Racing make that call...

He is extremely proud of his product line and I will assure you, is aiming to keep the Zilvia crowd pleased..

I would call him on a case-by-case basis...

He only ordered 25 sets of S14 coils on his first order, so we are talking a very few number to fix..

Jeff, do you have anymore updates on these coilovers? I'm going to go ahead and purchase them within the next few days after i have a chat with Chris about them. i'd just like to make sure these struts have made a good impression on people and are of the same quality as BCEC, as many people in new zealand have those and they are VERY quality.

they will be on my car, an 89 nissan laurel rb20det. it is only used on track and once a month on road if i'm lucky, so i need a stiff and reliable setup, not too worried about comfort. just want to know how they hold up to the likes of silkroads/buddyclub and other track-oriented platform suspension.

cheers

sr20dets13

just to add to the responses.. i have owned a pair of kts coilovers for about 5 months now, and can 100% say these are a very strong strong shock. with my own tests done on them (2 curbs at over 30mph without a tweek) ride is wonderful, and like stated in past post "even my girlfriend can enjoy the ride" i really wish they could have been in the comparison but i understand they are going up in price, i paid 1070 or something for spl parts when i purchased these they have went up almost 150. which i still would pay for if i was in the market for a coilover setup.

on the other hand my good buddy into drifting like me just installed a brand new pair of mr on his s13, fit well and rides just as well as the kts.. when i did my own comparison of the coils they look very similar in structual rigidity.. and the dampening adjustments can be felt.. first night out the car was having some pretty good understeering issues soo we tightend up the rear alittle and loosed up the front and voilaa! oversteer was way better! i know this isnt much but i am telling you (as a person scared to pay for crap) that i wouldnt hesitate to purchase these coils

umsports you might remember talking to my buddy he has a red hatchback, names andrew. he is 100% pleased with his coilovers and says they were worth every penny!

andrewrr

i was looking around at some NZ sites and found this http://homepages.slingshot.co.nz/~ow...n_upgrade.html its an install of BC racing coilovers into a nissan laurel, which has same suspension as S13.

Jeff240sx

No shock dyno seeing as Alex wrecked his car at an event.

Hello,

I received and install my MR Racing Coilover (Spring Rate 8/6).
Mines need to be modified (at front on the bracket) because they're build in november.

It seems very good parts; and specialy for money

My damping setup is 4-4 for front and rear. Sometimes it's a little bit so stiff :/
Girlfriend's boobs bounce :lol:
Can you post your setup of damping rate please?

I also have a question, I'm not interested about drop height.
Dis someone know the maximum lenght for coilover as picture show? For front and rear? I don't want to twist the coilover on a jump or a hard drive




other pictures:



And last question when I received my coilovers this nut was unscrew and the roller(?) can be removed
I screw the nut with damping rate at the maximum soft. Did I broke something? :/

Measure the diameter of the strut itself (threaded portion) and then make sure you have at least that amount inside the part that it screws into. Sometimes you will find a small hole at that depth. If you stick a pin thru the hole it should hit the strut.

95zilvia

i have my front set at 16, feels softer than setting it at 1(softest), at least more comfortable.

the rears, i set it to somewhere i the middle as well.

try setting it at 16 for the front, it makes the ride really nice... its weird

slide

ok let me rephrase.. would YOU rather get the mr coilovers or pay the extra $$ and get the kts coilovers


also what is the max heights (maximum drop and maximum raise) on the mr coilovers.

AzNCmB

kts are inverted monotube design and mr's are not..... mr's are 32 way damper adjustable( i believe) and kts are 16 way(i believe), they both have 8/6kg spring rates and the mr's have the brake line bracket and kts dont..... ugh.... o yea... kts have rebuild service for a good low price and i THINK mr dont....

i'm also looking for coilovers, i'm debating on which one of these I should get also...

Grumly2000

I'm sorry but I'm not english fluent. Well I don't understand what you mean
Can you please and re-phrase?

Grumly2000

Ok.
I have a French Silvia S14 Spec (200SX in France)
stock with SR20DET and front 300ZX calliper (4 valves).
And I know that in the USA yours 240SX don't use this callipers.

I use stock 16" as pictured and I had no problem with MR coilover, for daily use and track use.

Compared to standard height, my S14 is F/R -30/-20 mm. May be if choose a more agressive drop height like -60mm is it possible that tire touch mcpherson arm in curve, be aware.

98sr20ve

Common practice of knowing if the bolt extends far enough into a item is this. If the bolt is 12mm then it should extend into the item (or in this case lower part of the strut/piece that attaches to the knuckle) the same distance. SO what you do is take a tape measure and measure the diameter of the lower threaded shaft. Lets say its 1.5 inch's (for discussion sake). Then all you have to do is make sure you insert that theaded shaft into the lower part of the shock 1.5 inchs. If its 1.75 then it goes in 1.75 inches.

andrewrr

well, i paid for my coilovers on monday, and they arrived wednesday morning, very fast shipping! paid 890 with shipping from chris at undergroundmotorsport.com , thanks for the help.

from the looks of them, they are very quality, and come with hardware (new strut top nuts, c-spanners, and alan key), a sticker (woohoo), diagram of all parts, information pamphlet, and warranty card. on the rear struts, there is a pinhole about 1 3/8" down from the top and another hole down near the bottom mount. the threaded shaft is 2" wide, so i'm not sure why it's safe to put it up to 1 3/8 of thread? but who wants to raise their car up off-roader stylez anyways? all of the pilo plates are very tight and have smooth operation, the adjusters have a little silver locking mechanism below them that prevents the adjuster from falling out, so i guess you could take them out if you dont want someone f'ing with your setup? the adjuster actually has noticeable clicks, unlike d2/ksport where you have no idea what your damping rate is.

I'll be installing these once i get back to new zealand on the 12th, if all goes well i'll put a review up at the end of next month. only reason i do this is to either warn people about the quality or praise it (which is what im hoping), seeing as they are a new product. although, they do come labeled as the VH design coilover, with a product sheet straight from BC racings catalog

some pics of my set for s13

Rownan

Also got mine, S14 model. These coilovers are wonderful construction, every detail looks great. It is killing me to see them sitting there but I won't be putting them on till spring......









BTW people were asking about weight before, the whole box weighed in at 47 lbs.

danew604

um if its steel welded wouldnt it rust after awhile? i know that there is the rust protection coating... but if rocks and stuff hits it and chips that layer off then its basically steel... can someone answer this question if these are still good coilovers if they rust after sometime?

95zilvia

damn, looks like they changed the stickers on the tubes, dont remember mine having the hologram shiny diff. color thingie.

umsports

They are purchasing them through myself at www.undergroundmotorsports.com

I'd love to sell you a set, so place your order....

WHAT!!!?? 750 SHIPPED?? how many do you have left instock?? I'm waiting for my student loan to come in and I would like to get them...

Thanks

umsports

Yes, that's the only problem...

But because they have the defect, I am going to loose money to simply clearance them...

They do have a 2 year warranty through the manufacturer...

and they have to be sent overseas for repair, there is no domestic rebuild service...

I just got mine today, they look great. Chris also went out of his way to contact me (most shippers would just wait until I complained) when there was a small issue with shipping. A++ to Chris & UM.

I'll try to get some pics up as soon as I get them installed.
