Megan Racing Springs

[RON]

I have H&R springs with TRD (Bilstein) shocks on my 97 Camry. The H&R lowers the car 1.4 F and 1.3 R. I see than Megan has springs which lower the car about an additional 1/2 +. Anyone have these on their car?

Thanks
Ron

wow, didnt even kno they made springs for my year

I've used the eibach before and they seemed to have a nice drop around 1.6" front and rear, plus decent ride quality. If you wanted to switch from the h&r then go eibach but i think for the work involved you should just keep what you've got. If you really want to go lower then go coilovers.

Eibach gives less of a drop than H&R. I had Eibachs on my car before the H&R. Eibach is 1.2"..H&R is around 1.4" The Megans are close to 2". I would make a change if I could get another 1/2".

Megan:
- Lower rate: 2" Front, 1.7.5-2" Rear

- Springs rate: 300F & 250R[/quote]

^You had the TRD Eibachs then, since Pro-Kits drop -1.6" all around. Anyhow, GL if you go with the Megans, let us know if they have sag issues out back.

would these work on gen 1 solara? they look pretty solid...

Yea..that's right. I don't think you can get a *pro kit* for the car now. Besides, that's close to what I have now.

I don't see sag as a problem.

Megan Racing Performance Lowering Springs are constructed of SAE 9254 Cold Wounded Steel, one of the strongest materials available. The high tensile strength and phosphate powder coating delivers outstanding spring rates that are extremely durable and resist premature “sagging”.

It's the DROP that needs to be confirmed. The ratings on these seem much beefier that any of the others, so it should offer more control, albeit a stiffer ride. I have enough shock capabilty with the Bilsteins, so no worry there.

Springs rate: 300F & 250R

Those rates should be greater than all other *lowering springs*...even the Pro KIT.

Don't know if you know, but Pro-Kit is not a term I made up. It's the given name of Eibach's more "subtle" spring sets made to their own preferred specs (as opposed to the ones you were likely using, which were built to TRD specification). And as far as sagging, I bring it up because they are notorious for having it happen to numerous applications, Scion tCs being one I am well aware of.

I'd hate for this to be you:

I've heard of Megan Racing springs too, but I've never seen them put on a Solara. Please show some pics if you do choose that route!

man if they work on gen 1 solara then i'll pick em up too

That link says nothing of SAGGING with Megan springs. Looks like there were some issues regarding ride height (being too low on one end) and that Megan was going to look into it. BTW..that was THREE YEARS AGO.
I think I'm going to try them...I'll let you know when.

[t3chnique]

just beware, these are the stiifest srpings available for the gen 1 solara.

[DiamondPearlSolara01]

Ya somebody please try these out on a solara because the price is insanely low (makes me worry about quality ?) but our cars desperately need a 2" drop. It said on that link specifically that they have improve 'sagging' issues so and there is a warranty on them too..

If you really want a drop, get coilovers. I don't know of any aftermarket dampers that would be suitable for anything that lowers ride height by 2''

I have original TRD Bilstein shocks...I'm sure they can handle those spring rates I listed. Typically, the spring rates for coil overs are at least DOUBLE those and require special shocks.
