Ahah yes !
It was an accident for the first one... I mean, without instrument cluster, it's hard to see the limit. Usually I hate hitting the rev limiter, but when I've heard this sound... WOAW

that's as low as Megan street coilovers go. i could go way lower in the back and make it look like those people that drive their trucks or lowriders with their airbags inflated in the front and deflated in the rear, but i'm not a homo so i'll pass.

i have the fronts compressed a little bit. i didn't do anything radical, compression wise, because i still want my suspension to work like i want it to. i just don't think they'll work as good for me if i almost fully compressed the spring. i could be wrong though so i'm open to opinions.

here's some more from the event. my buddy Ryan aka Ninjaracer13

Can someone explain pre-loading springs? Does it change the spring rate, I want/need to go stiffer.

"Preload is the amount of force imposed on the spring by the damper when the suspension is fully extended. It is really only an issue in coilover setup, since preload is adjustable. With traditional shocks, preload is not adjustable. " -source

That's still kinda confusing. I'm pretty much just trying to stiffen up my suspension and kill my body roll without increasing the spring rate.

if none of that works......spring it
I leave my fronts on, but disconnect the rears. A picture of the spring sagging?

So if the car was in the air the spring could essentially be shaken up and down?
