Got my coilovers today, what's up with Megans rear spring perches?
Hey all,
if you look at the bottom of the spring perches on the tein coilovers there is a nut that secures the rear spring perches to the beam, on the megans there is no such way to secure it, is it just supposed to sit in the beam, that's it? Does it rely on spring preload to keep the spring in the car? Looks a little sketchy

Yes sir it just sits there. Just like the stock springs just sit straight on the perches. The weight of the car will keep them in place.

looks so nice and clean just flip it for install lol
after you're done installing, if you still want shorter stiffer springs lmk first. I have the 170mm/7kg that I don't really need anymore since I am picking up a few shorter ones. |

Deathbeard: How did you set it up. Do you do the setting before you install or install it and then adjust it. Thanks!

If you go without the perches, I suggest investing in some thick cable ties. I use very large ones on the bottom of the springs to hold them in the perches( two on each spring). Fortunately, there are holes in the bottom of the perch, and the ties work perfect there.

1.5 is right, the weight of the car and the shocks prevent the spring from coming out.
