Awd coilovers Vs fwd coilovers what not to buy?
« on: November 18, 2010, 06:41:50 am »
Question: is the only difference between fwd and awd coilovers the rear spring rate?

I'm looking to buy Megan 36way adjustable coilovers anyone ever tried these?

1g vs. 2g. Define your terms.  1g is not interchangeable, 2g is.

Megan or D2 are the same and very good quality, also look at Tein basics coilovers.

Megan, Yonaka, KSport are all shit, had K sports blew up every one in less than a year. You will prolly never adjust them EVER anyways so buy adjustable shocks and nice springs and go with that you will be much happier with the setup. Trust me.
