Coilovers are lower than super sports

Megan's might go lower than H&R AND they come with adjustening dampers. My H&R coilovers look like most Super Sport springs out there. Been on a quest for shorter springs so I can go lower.

I've been in contact with flushstance.com about BC coilovers and so far they told me this:

"I can...for some reason they don't list the car on there current application guide but BCRacing does make it. Price would be $995 shipped to you. If interested I can send you a Paypal money request for the kit."

I then emailed him about the 'extreme drop' option that they usually offer for other cars using a shorter shock cartridge and shorter springs:

"Looks like out of the box it will tuck the stock tire by about 1-3mm. Based off the look of the spring there isn't much hope of shorter springs and cartridges to do so. I was told that they would attempt to find a 20mm shorter rear spring that would work so that way the front and rear could tuck right about 1/2 the stock tire."


You have to email them about the coilovers as they dont have a listing for them for our cars.

max low on H&R coils are about the same as drop on SS. IMO i made a mistake going with the SS wish I went with coils so I could adjust.

A H&R coil system will be better then H&R SS parts. The system is R&D to work together to give the best performance possible.

I have the dynamic handling package with the advanced agility control. I've been running supersports for two years. I had the dealer install it before I accepted delivery of the new car.

inkredibul I think u were asking about this years ago in a thread I read. I guess u went ahead w it. How is the ride when u hit the sport button? Im guessing w the springs the regular mode feels like stock springs w sport on and now w sport mode the car is on rails. Anything u can comment on that would help is appreciated. Im debating on SS or maybe a little less, im not looking for slammed but sports dont seem low enough, like barely noticable. thanks man

The ride is firmer with the sport button. I love it. I can't tell you how it is without the springs because I've never owned the car without them. Had them put in before I even drove it home. SS is not slammed but definitely noticeable low.
