It is indeed my car. The front springs in that pic BLOW. If you go Megan, ask for at least 180mm height front springs. The rates are up to you.

I've seen other forums where members threw a fit when companies used their pics w/o permission. 1 enthusiast tried to sue, unsuccessfully. Once it's on the web, there's nothing stopping them. As a courtesy though, sellers should at least give credit to the cars owners.

I was given the prototype coilovers free and clear after test fitting/debugging was completed, having them whore out pics of my car in front of their headquarters is a small price to pay lol.

As for testimonials, no complaints here, the ride is stiff but great, and the height/rebound adjustability is top notch. Like I stated in a Club Lexus thread, I endured the headaches and bugs like missing tabs, CV boot tearings and such to try my damnedest to get the best possible product to you guys. However, Megan figured that most of you owners out there don't plan to go as low as I have, hence why they supply 200mm tall front springs. I wanted to achieve zero fender gap, so I asked for 180mm tall ones, which I paid for. If you buy or deal with someone who buys directly from Megan, ask for the shorter springs right off the bat.

would you say that these coilovers are comfortable? I'm looking more for comfort since i'm never going to be on the track but rather use my solara as my daily driver.

Seriously... this year is the worst in the past 10! Our government is so corrupt, the construction workers do a crappy job on the potholes and they last for a few months max so they can have jobs all the time! Look at that poor wrx lol..

It all depends on how much you lower the car.. if you bottom the springs out, it'll be the stiffest thing ever lol but if you only lower, lets say 2", it would feel a lot more comfy.

ohhh mmkay thanks!
i guess i'll stick with springs/strut combo for now since I still have no idea what I'm looking for in coilovers.

and migos, based on your signature, your car sounds pretty bad ass!
how about sharing some pictures of the beast? :D

The Gen 1 Solara and the Gen 4 Camry are basically the same chassis.
Brakes, suspension, and 1MZ engine and 1 or 2 interior parts are the same.
I'm runnin' a Gen 4 Camry front passenger hard brake line from the ABS actuator on my car since the OEM on my car seized up at the banjo where the brake line hooks to.
