I haven't checked the rears yet, but they support a lot less weight so I don't think there will be any problem with them. I've got 50K miles on them so I guess that isn't too bad, but I don't know how long the should last.

Cool I just didn't see how you could run any camber with those front springs, But I guess we will see. Thanks for the feedback.

The extra adjustability may not be necessary and the quality is exceptional. Remember, the Megans still don't have much travel. I doubt these will leak at 50K miles, either.

It just seems that the added level of adjustability for a small addition to production costs would have been a safer bet...

Either way coilovers of any kind are better than no coilovers at all.

Hey you don't have the Borla on your car anymore you need to update your Sig.

Well I know I need to either cut it or find a way to keep it from sliding. Just not sure which I want to do.

That's what those little sleeves are for. Or you can cut it and still use the sleeves.
