looking at some coilovers, megans
buddy of mine has them for sale
any of you guys have any reviews on them?
also sketchy about buying them in the first place
one of the fronts didnt line up right and he said he had to drill another hole in the strut tower to get one of the 3 bolts to line up
anybody ever hear of that happening?

No. I think I'd seriously hold off on buying those from your buddy. That's a pretty huge red flag.

I had megan racing full coilovers and they were pretty decent. I didnt have any issues making them fit, they were perfect out of the box. Maybe your buddy overlooked something, or maybe he got a bad set. Either way if hes having issues like that with them Id look somewhere else.

There are no base models in the running this month. All entrees including yourself are SS models. A base model is an LS 2.2L. An SS in any form (2.4 NA, 2.0 SC, 2.0 TC) is not a base model.

2.4's and 2.2's can be mistaken for one another quite easily


and just because its 5 lug doesnt mean anything, they made 4 and 5 lug base models... leave it to GM on that one
