Megan racing springs on GR2's - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #65607 38 posts Started by Salica
smkrw, do you have a picture before you installed the staggs and megans? It looks like you still have a gap and the megan springs were suppose to lower it 1.6 in the front and 1.5 in the rear. Just wondering if it was 4x4 before the new suspension.

These springs are stiff, meaning that they'll hold up the weight of the car well at first. They'll settle within a few months. The rear is very close to actual height and will only sink a half inch; the front should go down another inch, at least.

Thanks for posting the pics smkr3w, definitely looks better with the new suspension.

I'll check in a few weeks on your review of the setup, might change my stagg/eibach setup to stagg/megan since it sits a bit lower.

Regarding your clunking, most of the time when there is clunking it is either a blown shock or a broken strut mount.

most likely the strut mounts are bad.

im going through this problem now, recently changed my sway bar link because this mechanic told me that was the problem and definitely wasnt.. -90$ kindasad.gif
Have a friend check with you, one bounce the car up and down on each corner and you'll be able to pinpoint what it is. How did he come to the conclusion it was the links.
