Megan Racing Setup

[Stevon]

Update!
Finally after a five year period of completing the project from two wrecked NSXs, I got it on the road! Did the alignment and corner balance at West End Alignment in Gardena, CA. Was a 100 miles away but well worth the trip! Darin worked his magic and set the height just right, about a 3/4 inch drop. Now the car drives fantastic, never knew what the car would feel like or could do until yesterday. Price was very fair at $250, one very happy grining customer. The tires are very sticky and resist drifting, takes a lot to break them free but once you do, it's tricky to get back control. Guess it's just my short experience driving this car. Very happy at the moment!

I was wondering..............
Have just purchased a good set of Megan Racing Coilovers for my 95T. Also picked up a perfect set of Forgeline Competiton rims. I would like some coments about my setup and tire choice. I can change my selection of tires because they aren't shipped yet. This is what my research and hard bargain finding has yielded. Not wealthy so made the best choices with the resources available to me. This is a weekend driver for fun, not used every day, tracked or auto crossed but I do want car to handle and perform as it was designed and intended to.
Suggestions for different tires, ride height, spring rates etc. would be appreciated.

Talked to a friend and he recomends buying a .87" front sway bar, keep the stock rear bar and swap front springs with rear springs then re-valve the struts. Anyone know how to do that on the Megan Racing struts?

Megan Coilovers (made by BC Coilovers) are a monotube design with linear spring rates of 8K front and 6K rear and includes front camber plates all for under $1K.

For mainly street use (and occasional track days), these are the best bang-4-buck setup. You may want to add sway bars and some negative front camber. Don't forget the alignment:smile:

VNSXAMG996TT,

Thanks for the info but all sellers of the Megan's list 8K front and 10K rear. You could be right may have to call someone to be sure. 0.87" sway bar is available localy. Luckily for me, live in Southern California and close enough to use West End Alignment. Have an apointment with them set for Aug 23rd. Want them to do ride height, damper settings, corner balance, the works! What about lowering the car now that I have bigger wheels? One inch sound good? Won't require modified suspension components for that drop?
