Megans are ok but their stock spring rates at 7/3 for f/r seem way too soft, especially if u want to run somewhat agreessive wheel specs like 8.5 and 9.5.
Go for BC Racing for a bit more $$, u can get whatever rates u want plus they revalve the struts to match. Personally, I have 10/7kg springs and that about the limit for a daily in my eyes. Plus the roads around here are crap. But I have it stiff cuz I have a very aggressive wheel sizes

haha this current setup has been 3 years in a making, pretty much just trial and error with a bit of math. there are like 2 people with my gen camry that have pushed the limit with fitment hence the slow process
yeah something like that :wink:

and yes it has a touch of camber

with your solara you should be able to fit 10"s no problem. seeing that your from texas, i'd expect no less as some of the craziest stanced cars come from your neck of the woods

Ground control sucks ass.... Megans is worth the Wait... It's like if you order SSR or Works they could take months at times...

so since it will take them a while to fulfill my order for megans, i can still cancel it without being too douchey. i am thinking of those BCs now.

so if 7/3 megans are too soft for my intended fitment, can i go somewhere in between 10/7 and 7/3 with the BCs? what might be the specs on something in between? because i don't want the ride to be too hard...
