    Installing Megans--what bushings should I buy?

    UPDATE: new set of 20's Here are some recent pics of my car. I tried to keep it toned down, but had to get a little more bling. These are 20's with 10 width in rear and 9 up front. No scraps, or rubbing and the Megans are still doing really well. I had a little shake at 65 mph in the...

    Installing Megans--what bushings should I buy?

    Thanks Sean I never drove one of these in 93 when they were new, but it couldn't have been much better than it is now. I think I have the Megans dialed in just right. I don't get any real hard hits or anything I can't stand at all. It's actually just a little firmer than when it had the...

    When I turn the center nut the bolt that is holding it turns too----I let the stiffness setting out a little to 14 and the back is at 10---it feels a little better ---I will find out more tomorrow on my commute----Thanks spf_lexus!

    Installing Megans--what bushings should I buy?

    Megans and bushings are on and looking good! I just can't seem to figure out why the car hits really hard on the driver side front---if I take a dip in the road it sounds like the coilover is gonna come thru the fender. I cut the plastic pieces in the fenders and rolled and flared the fenders...

    Everything is going in this Saturday on mine...sorry I'm not able to help more but spf_lexus will likely give you a suggestion Did you get the Arnott and daizen kit or the ebay or partsgeek bushings?

    Cool...so once the coils are in unscrew the 1st one a full turn---lock it in place with the 2nd one and then use the 3rd to adjust the hieight for each coil to match the others---do I go back and do anything to the 1st one after adjusting all 4 to match?

    I don't know where the coil seats should be? or if he should turn right or left or it doesn't matter? Sounds like everything else is ready to go! I'm sure I'm not the only one that's grateful that you answer and also answer so quickly. I knew very little before joining and still know...

    Good stuff as always spf_lexus when you get back in town...drinks on me! You've earned at least that for educating me on all this stuff. The Megans were on another car for a few miles should anything be reset to start from factory settings or not necessary and was that one full left or...

    Installing Megans--what bushings should I buy?

    So...this is the weekend I get to have my Megans installed. I read somewhere that the coilovers have to be tightened while compressed to prevent the bushings from cracking as soon they they are installed. I do not quite understand what to watch for. The guy that is installing the Megans says...

    Previous posts in other threads showed White Lithium Grease was best to use on the bushings to stop future squeaks---spf_lexus---did you find out that the Mobil 1 red grease was better than white lithium grease or which do you think is best and will stay put the longest and also not harm the...

    Installing Megans--what bushings should I buy?

    Damn, that's alot more than I knew of. I'm back to trying to build a "kit" for parts I know little about. Arnott uppers for front and Daizens "kit" + Daizen's sway bar front and back bushings...will the Daizen and Arnott be everything needed. This is probably best for someone like me that...

    Installing Megans--what bushings should I buy?

    I have already contacted "Vlamos"<the guy in Australia that made the bushings> He said he no longer makes them beacuse production costs became too much to charge---he doesn't have any left in stock either--if Lextreme has any more then they are the last available I already bought the...

    So the uppers from Arnott will fit the front and back or are you saying forget about doing the uppers in the back and just change the lower bushings only?
