Unfortunately, the box is really large and heavy, so shipping is really expensive in the $200+ range via FedEx. This package is so large that even if you ship USPS, they hand it over to FedEx to finish the job! Please let us know if you are still interested in a quote and we will be glad to get an exact price based on your full address, but we just wanted to provide warning of the cost range first!


Hey, ,im still interested. Quote would be great.


Pls give this guy a quote, haha its about time you got to this mod.

Anyways in the pic, why is the camber bolt set to give it negative camber by the inward facing tab? I believe facing the tab out corrects negative camber (by giving postive camber) unless you want negative.

>I'm in, and hopefully two other people! Does this model come with the top mounts that allow the camber to be adjusted? Either way I am excited.


This model has front upper camber adjustment plates. The rears are not camber adjustable, so we recommend the use of the Eibach Pro-Alignment Rear Camber Bolts for 90-99 Toyota Celica GT/ST FWD (exc. All-Trac) if you need rear camber adjustment. We actually used two sets of these bolts in the black Celica pictured, but only one set in the upper knuckle bolt holes should do the trick in most cases.

Added you to the list in the original post! As soon as we have 2 more confirmed, we will publish the coupon code and payment can be made! Once the payment is received the coilovers will ship out!

Still waiting on a finalized/best rate. Hopefully it will be better than the preliminary quote we got through FedEx!

These bolts can be super confusing, there is a tab that goes into the actual hole as well as that outer tab. You can't see the inner tab once the bolts are installed. The inner tab is in the opposite orientation as the outer tab and lines up with the elliptical/cam area of the bolt. You really have to play with these bolts and tab orientations once you get them to make sure you are getting the adjustment you are looking for. The installation you see there is definitely providing positive camber adjustment. We installed the bottom set of bolts opposite the first and got some additional positive camber adjustment. Hope this helps explain a little bit better. Let me know if there is any more info I can provide that may help!

are the struts rebuildable?

Not sure about this. If there were any issue(s) with these coilovers, Megan Racing would handle applicable issue(s) directly under their warranty program. For instance if a strut failed, it would likely be covered. Since every situation is different, we suggest contacting Jose at Megan Racing at 626-581-0988 to discuss your concern and see if it would be covered under warranty.

No payments required until we get at least 3 commitments. Once we get 3 commitments, we will post a discount code to be used through our website checkout to receive this discount. The code can then be used by all members. We just need those initial 3 commitments to get it going.

really as in out of the box? no need for a spring compressor to assemble all components.

default setting w/ regards to the damper setting and ride height is what i meant.

God made man....Everything else...Made in China
These are complete coilover damper assemblies. Simply jack the car up, remove the factory strut/spring, and install these. They are 100% ready to go. They come with the height set to a moderate setting and the stiffness set to the stiffest setting. Give the knob on top of each strut a single 'click' (partial turn) for each level you'd like to adjust the stiffness. The knob has the Megan Racing logo and arrows pointing which direction to turn in order to go stiffer or softer. Adjusting height is also easy and can be done with the included hook/spanner wrenches that are included - even while the coilovers are on the car. Instructions with diagrams are included that describe all of these processes as well.

In short, you do not need a spring compressor. A couple of ratcheting wrenches and extensions, a socket set, and a breaker bar should get the job done. The breaker bar may be needed for stubborn factory bolts depending on how old and rusted your nuts/bolts are tongue.gif These coilovers do include new top mount nuts, so even if your factory ones are rusted, no worries, you will replace them anyway! This job is much much easier than replacing springs only or struts only, or even a spring/strut combo. Don't let the install intimidate you! Even if you don't want to install these yourself, your installer will be impressed with the quality and ease of installation for sure. For the money, this is hands down the most beneficial suspension upgrade available to the car and is a relatively easy installation. The results can instantly be "felt" as can any stiffness adjustments that are made once installed.

If you need further diagrams or install-guide help beyond what is included or just need some torque specs, check out http://www.UpscaleAutomotive.com at the bottom of the page. There is a link to a great site for service manuals and install information.

With this coilover set, you will have new springs, upper mounts, and strut assemblies - assembled, adjustable, and bolt-on at that!

Check out the pictures in this thread for photos of the entire assemblies installed.

relative to stock ride height, whats the minimum ride height? like 1" lower than the stock height or equal?

God made man....Everything else...Made in China
Ride height is adjustable from a couple inches higher than stock, to 3 or 4 inches lower than stock.
