Dropped G37x, Megans racing Coilovers

I installed these long ago, Megan's racing coilovers. No real complaints with them at all. Waiting on my rims to show up, hopefully this week!






20x10 square setup niche m158's soon to be on it.

Nice coupe, big drop, bet you've got to be extra careful w/ that AWD clearance.
I've got Megan COs on my RWD for a few years now, and they've held up well.
Look forward to pics w/ those new rims, bronze on red FTW!

Looks pretty mean now, but it'll look 10000x better with those wheels. Don't know how you go over most speed bumps without scraping, I have issues with that and I'm on springs lol. I do have ark catback though. That **** hangs so low. Anyway. Sweet ride! Looking forward to follow up pics!

I seem to recall someone having those wheels in 20x10 +40 and they didn't clear the Akebono BBK up front. Not entirely sure but do a search

I remember that too, I asked how much spacing he'd need to clear them but never got a reply back. Luckily OP has the base brakes

Buahah yes!! The shop did tell me that they did not fit with the big brake kit either... I think they will fit with brembos though...

What kind of Megan Coils are you on? Do they rattle in rear?

That's a pretty extreme drop for an all wheel drive. Not even sure owner's auto insurer would cover drivetrain components damaged as a direct result of an intentional height modification. Just try to stay out of harm's way, I guess.

Actually, skid plates did cross my mind, but any benefit would outweigh the additional loss of clearance and would just make an already heavy car that much heavier, not to mention that it would have to be a custom fabrication.

Just the AWD coils they make.. They are okay.. Small rattle in the rear.. Its not bad though for the price. So I really can't complain I'd recommend em. I do wish the rear adjustment was on top, and not on the side. But thats not possible the way it bolts on... Soo.. 8/10 so far.


And yes! The drop was a little bit to much, I did end up raising it a bit. My friend does run a full skidplate.. It also adds another inch, he scrapes on everything.. I actaully can do pretty much any speedbump.. Some parking lot entrances are not possible.

Sorry for the potatoe picture, only one I got atm.
