Slammed on megan coilovers 12/16/07 ***56K BEWARE***

[00GalantMan]

looks good i can't wait to see more pics!!

x2 Need some day time pics.

Looks good though. Hopefully when I do mine at tax time, I won't have all those problems. But I don't think I will because my Megan's were just installed in June of 06.

Yeah I was going to mention something about those lug nuts.. You need to go back to oem nuts when you're riding oem rims.. Those aren't going to do so well.. you should take those off asap.. other than that.. Looks good!

Looks good! Do you know what setting the megans are set on?

what do u mean ??? if u mean the damper then i have that set to the softest

One comment though, it looks like you might want to get new lugnuts or at minimum make sure they have a short shank on the bottom like OE Mitsubishi lugs do. I would highly recommend if you don't have OE mitsubishi lugnuts you get some for those wheels.

so whats wrong with the ones that i have on right now ?? how are they bad to drive on ?? educate me please

i originally had the ones that were on my steelies but they got loose on me once and that scared me so i bought these ones instead, so why do u guys want me to go back to OEM ??

here are pics of them before installed









thanks for all the comments guys i really appreciate everything

as far as the day time pics i finally installed my back seat today and the car went into the shop again cuz its making a noise on the side where the mechanic installed that sway bar link

unfortunately my camera broke today cuz i lent it to someone :( so day time pics are gonna be delayed but i will take some with my camera phone and dont worry my phone has a 3mp camera

as far as i'm concerned the lug nuts you are using are used on bigger rims that ur factory oem lug nuts wouldn't fit!! the oem lug nuts get a better grip at the wheels u have right now than the one u currently have on!! they told me that at a tire shop one time i went to chance some tires!! they told me to go back to the original oem lug nuts for mitsubishi rims!! good luck!!

Here is the mitsubishi OEM lugnut.



If you look at the wheel itself you will notice it DOES NOT have a cone seat like most aftermarket wheels.

Below is a picture of a coneseat lugnut:



In other words those wheels on your car are NOT seated properly to the hub, and that needs to be corrected asap.

Looks like a sprint spring drop honestly. Unless you are going to drop it further then it won't be slammed. I would adjust the front to sit low as the rear though.
