    I think that is as low as I want it. It may be a bit too low honestly. Spacers, yeah I think I may get a set down the road. For now though, it works.

    Looks good! No one has said whether they will fit a ST162 coupe!!!

    By the way, try this trick before getting a new jack:

    Get a 2x4 and cut 4 pieces, put them against the tires (long way) and dry onto them! It should give you the height you need!

    I don't know if they'll fit a coupe. I know there are some suspension differences between the st162 coupe and liftback.

    The Megan's are nice, but you probably won't find that deal again. The AU ones look like a really nice product and they are completely customized for your application!

    Nice!!! :D

    I wonder if I can get the guys that got those fitted for you to do a group buy on the Megans... :cheers

    On a side note, what do you guys think about getting 5th gen Ground Control Coilover Sleeves? I would put them on the stock struts for now (if they don't require welding) and then upgrade to Koni Yellows later.

    That company did NOT fit the ST182 megans to the st162.

    I did that by myself. I took a stock st162 rear shock assembly to a machine shop, they used a drill press & punched the new holes for me. I need to bring them back so they can fill weld the gap.

    lol sorry about that... :ugh
    I meant that they put the hole in for you. Terribly sorry for the wrong word use. :sad5

    Wait, so you never sent it to them for punching the holes in?

    my celi would almost be rubbing if it was that low...It says on there website that its $999. Even at that price its cheaper then buying ground control coilover sleeves and then buying koni shocks

    No, nobody did it. I took it to a local shop with the measurements and they drilled it out for me.

    Looking at the pictures......... What would happen if the bottom bolt holes were drilled upwards so that all the weight was on the bolts ??

    And if I did that would the bottom of the bracket be sitting on the 'whatever it is thingy' .......... is it the independant suspension bolt holder 'thingy' ??

    Hm, it's a good point. Only thing against it, that it would mean the back of the car go more lower.

    Which is why I moved the top bolt down instead of the bottom bolt up. It can really be done either way, but the way I did it at least keeps the ride height somewhat proportional.
