Okay I only saw a couple threads on the interweb of someone having bought the Megan racing lowering springs. After much consideration and due to my success with Megan parts on Hondas, I decided to be "the guy that tries that part"
Lol

These are the springs


Attachment 379787
This is the car they're going on.

I called Megan and they say these are made in Japan and spun individually. SAE 9254 cold wound steel. Supposedly NOT cookie cutter springs. Springs rates are 384 front and 328 rear. 1.25 inch drop all around. The price was very agreeable at $137 shipped on sale price from a site sponsor.

I'll be installing them this evening and I'll go for a test drive.
To be continued......

I've had some megan stuff I really liked. I also intend to try their resonated test pipes when I do my exhaust.

So the Megan's give the car a very nice drop. No need to do the rear spring mount mod at all.
Gave Zeke a hard test drive this morning over some bumpy roads and through some tight corners.
Stiff but not bouncy. Definite improved response on the corners. No bottoming out on the shocks.
We'll see how they settle but I'm pleased to start. Nice drop height.
I think they'll be great for a DD.

That's drop is really clean even before settling a little. No need for a spring mount mod!!!

They're definitely not on the high end and I respect anyone's opinion about that. I'm usually critical of companies that I've gotten bad parts from.

Hell I like dcsports stuff too. Lots of success for me personally but I've heard horror stories about them too.

I may of missed this, but went through 20 pages and did not see anyone with Hotchkis or Tein-S-Tech on a 40 profile tire. 255/40/18F 275/40/18R to be exact.
