The rears bolt up perfectly.

On the front you have to enlarge the upper hole that bolts to the steering knuckle.

Sometimes there's also a spacer required at the top depending on who's coilover. Not sure about Megan.

Considering the minor knuckle change, I'm still surprised that Tein never supported their SS dampers for the 4th gen. They wouldn't warranty the EDFC unless it was the 5th gen or later.
