    Nice, it looked like you were over in Savannah with the trees and all. I went to GSU and GT savannah that's why I asked. Have you taken out the collars of the rear? If you can't go any lower, you could always get a set of swift springs

      Cut the rear springs. That's what most of the people on Megan Racing coilovers do to get the rear end lower.

      As for the front, if you're maxed out, you can buy shorter springs with higher spring rates. You just have to call around for them.

      Check out the thread on my bagged Forte 5 when you have a chance here.

        They don't make any for the rear of our cars. They do make some for the fronts though.

          I was under the impression that Swift can custom make springs if you give them the information. Like take off your megan springs give them a diameter measurement and height and what spring rates. I may be wrong, I haven't researched Swift

              Not sure either. That would be pretty dope if they do.

                Haha I love the yellow personally man. It seems like people either love it or **** it though. Thanks for the love!

                And if Swift can make custom springs ill be all over that, except its probably gonna be pretty pricey. May just end up cutting them who knows.

                    Exactly ^^ . Looking at their site, you need to know the inside diameter (ID) and length and you can choose from whatever spring rates you want.

                      My issue is the rear assembly has the weird "strut separate from spring" thing going on so the rear spring is quite big. Ill probably call Swift and give them some measurements and see what i can do. My only concern is that the strut combined with a different spring other than what its designed for would make for a bad ride.

                        Mine is the same way



                        They've done that application before (anttmann had swift springs on his 135i I believe). Just get a measurement of the rear spring and contact Megan and see if you can get the shock specs and then send it all to Swift and they'll be able to help you out I'm sure. It is their job
