i am a bit conserned about these coilovers. The two fronts were adjusted to the same height but the right side sits around a centremetre lower. I raised the right up so it was even but it still scrapes the fender wereas the left doesnt. It seems as thought it compresses more. Both dampenings are set to 24. Just wondering what he problem could be? I was thinking the coilovers could be on the wrong corners. The coilovers weren't marked front and rear from what i saw. But it stated on the diagram that the fronts had a bracket on them so i put them up front. Just wondering if this is correct? Also the rears seem to be alot stiffer than the fronts even though they are on the softest setting and the fronts are on 24.
If you could think of what the problems might be and answer my questions it would be greatly appreciated. Is it possible that the coilovers are around the wrong way or wrongly packaged. Or could there be a fault with the coilovers themselves?

cheers

It scrapes the fender? That's pretty low dude, megan's have pretty stiff springs up front so you may have done something wrong.

The fronts will have the ABS sensor wire bracket. Also, the nuts on the fronts are an M10 where as the rears are an M8 (IIRC). The rears definitely have a smaller stud/nut combo than the fronts on the upper strut mount. Rears also *shouldn't* fit up front either unless you force them in. The mounting holes will be slightly off.

If i were you, I'd raise up the Megan's to about the halfway point and drive it for a while there. The car will settle into the springs and then dial them in perfect the ride height.

Got any pictures?

does it actually compress ore? you sure.. it might just be the left side has more camber tucking it into the wheel well better...
