#94864 Has any one used Megan Racing sleeves? I'm considering using them on my hatch.

Car came with some pos BOMZ sleeves....aka the other ebay junk. Rode like ass. Figured the struts couldn't handle it so I got some AGXs. Helped a little but still handled and rode crappy.

A friend donated me his S2 sleeves and I wasn't inpressed. Front seemed fine, ass of the car seemed to bounce.... and bounce hard. Seemed like it didn't matter what setting or ride height I set them for it still sucked.

So I came across the Megan Racing sleeve system on horsepower freaks. Not a whole hell of a lot of info on them and they're closed as it's Saturday night. My other choice are the Matrix sleeves. I'm not a fan of matrix goods so yea...

I have a new set of KYB AGXs on the way as well as a energy suspension master kit. I'm not looking to go to a full coil-over setup since the car is a weekend driver/track worrior now. Only reason I want a coil/sleeve system is to get my axle angle even with the h22 swap. If you're not fimilar with the h22 swap, you're axles sit at an odd angle. Tryin to get them as close to 90* as possiable

So through my babbeling, you have a general idea of my needs. If you have used them let me know, if you know the spring rates vs stock that's sweet too

#94867 now that you have some good struts, a decent coil over should take care of the problem. bomz is crap
It was probably bouncing with the S2 coils because the rear shocks were blown. I'd try the S2's with your AGX before you spend more money on coils. Skunk2 is good quality, better than Megan I would think.

had the s2s on the AGXs as well, they were pretty fresh.

I can't belive dude drove the car from Cali to VA with the Bomz set up. I drive to work on them once and the next day I took the truck and went to the pull a part and got stock suspension rofl.

Stock suspension + h22 = the suck... even better I was rollin on some mad tyte no name 13" wheels and winter tires. I kinda grew fond of my ghetto 13" wheels and am upgrading to a 205/50HR13 Sumitomo rubber unless this local guy comes off his slips
