Oyyy well make sure you pick up some Moog end links and ES front sway bar bushings. They firm up the steering, it feels much more solid.

Here are some pics of the day:

Here is my car, with stock setup and snow tires:

The Parts

Height isnt eveything. Poor ride quality very quickly supersedes how your car looks.

H-Techs.

seems like coilovers are the way to go, bummer considering that's over a grand right there before installation costs

the installation is pretty much simple...three bolts up top, two on the bottom up front...then two up top and one on the bottom, in the rear...its not bad

...Unless you have to swap the lower brackets. Out of the 12 Megans I've done recently, all 12 had to be swapped. Someone is messing up at the factory.
