Default Anyone know good/bad about megan suspension components? (camber arms)

Hello, just curious if anyone has heard good/bad things about Megan rear camber arms/front upper A arms, or if anyone has any idea what the adjustability is? Doesnt seem to say on their website. Im thinking either these or SPC.

They seem reasonably priced, slightly cheaper than SPC but im not sure if they are good quality or not.. ive always had the impression that megan is "ricer"...

Im @ ~ -2 degrees in the front and rear, trying to get back into spec :P

Thanks!

From what I have heard anything Megan is cheap junk.
Buy the SPC kit like so many others have done.

I have the front A arms, and let me see.. they do what they are suppose to do, give camber adjustability. I haven't had them on long enough to say how good/bad they are, but they do what they are intended to do.

Ive had them for over a year, over 20k miles on them and plenty of track days. They hold up just fine.

I don't know if you will be able to get back to spec with them, maybe 1 degree at the most. They are made to add camber, something us track junkies like to do.

megan is iffy or so ive been told, but my friend has megan suspension components on his 240; coilovers, and all the stuff to get it back in OEM specs, and it all seemed very well made and performs equally as well.

^^This. I've never had a problem with Megan suspension components. They make hands down the best springs for the corolla I had before the Z, and almost any forum you go to people rave about how good their coilovers are, despite being so cheap. I would hesitate if it were headers or anything that involved high heat, or that flimsy *** strut bar they make, but suspension all seems to be good from them.

They probably use cheaper spherical bearings, not hard to replace once they wear out. Just make sure you find out the size they use is common (sometimes metric ones are expensive/hard to find).
