 after 500 miles on them I'm pleased.....firmer ride (which I like), no bottoming (lots of potholes and I didn't cut the bumpstops), may have helped the side wind handling (but definately didn't cure it), and 1.5" drop makes it look better! Only downside is I have to put 2x4's in front of my ramps (to change oil) or it just shoves them across the garage floor!PS... the 1.5" drop gives a 2% reduction of frontal area....very little chance, but still possible, that it may have helped with my gas milage that has gone up.

I just bought some Megan Springs from WeSellCarParts. I've never done springs before. Can I just follow Chris07LB's DIY for the most part? Are all springs pretty much the same? I'm a complete noob at this!
As for the bumpstops, whaddaya think about just cutting an inch off each since it has a claimed 1.5" drop.

Call megan about cutting the bumpstops! They may not suggest cutting like tanabe. You won't get any more -drop- from cutting anyway. That isn't why you cut bumpstops. Yes the install will be the same as the diy for tanabe. Churp installed these and he is happy with them.

Thanks for the info. Churp said he didn't cut his and is happy. I think the orange will look hot!
 Can you rent spring compressors from auto part stores? After the install I will probably update my avatar pic since I now have alloys and will soon be lowered. :)

I emailed Meganracing and they said to "always ut the bump stops". Well I did cut just above the white spacer, like Chris did in the DIY, and I'm not sure if my wheels are hitting my top fender well or it is bottoming out...
I might get some of those bumpstops from http://fatcatmotorsports.com/FCMstops_Yaris.htm More money just to have piece of mind. How come these damn things cost so friggin much?
