LOL I think the way I wrote it, it sounded funny. No I don’t have megan coilovers. I was actually asking you guys if they were worth it!!  
Because if there isnt going to be very much performance difference then why not just pay like 150 instead of 1150…  
LOL

I think Kent and flavio are both post whores seeing the above answers.

Springs are probably no more than 30lbs. so probably 7-8 lbs each.

Hop on a scale, weigh yourself. Grab a rear, weigh yourself. Subtract the two. Grab a front and repeat.

hey bud, i have a tien stechs and tokico clues setup which is incredible.  
coilovers i have heard kill ur back but this setup is soft on slow speeds  
and hard on high speeds… even this setup can be really bouncy at times.  
i would recommend better struts for stiffer handling

cheers!

step 1: design your own spring rates 8)
