Megan vs Tanabe vs everything else - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #91866 12 posts Started by yfn16
So I called up Megan today. They said that most of their coilovers are adjustable somewhere between 1 and 3 inches, but they don't have the exact drops for each make and model. I know that Tanabe boasts 2.2 in the front and 1.5 in the back. Who has Megan coilovers? Which sets lower? Are there any other brands that are lower than Megan or Tanabe? -Thanks
First off, Megan and Tanabe are two completely different things. Tanabe are just lowering springs, not coilovers. The Megan's are coilovers so it comes with the strut and spring, where the strut has height adjust-ability and dampening (to make the ride harder or softer).
I completely understand that. I'm just asking about the ride heights. That's it. Plus, Tanabe does offer coilovers for our 6 gens.
Ya guy get your info straight

But at same time your giving lowering specs based off the df210 littering springs

Ok? I understand that. I don't care if I'm talking about lowering springs, coilovers, or a skyjacker 6" lift. All I'm interested in is the difference between the ride heights. I know coilovers are adjustable and lowering springs aren't. But I want to know which is able to set the car the lowest for shows.
Definitely coilovers.

Thanks. Do you have coilovers for yours?
Nope, but I plan on buying the Megan EZ Street. I don't like the fact that with springs you can't play around with height. If winter comes and it snows, I can lift it, lower it for the summer, adjust the suspension from soft to hard, depending if it's the city, track or highway.
The strut/spring combo is not that much cheaper as far as I've looked.

Megan said that most of their coilovers range from a 1 to 3 inch drop, but they said it was different for each make and model. They said they didn't have the height specs for our model.
