Bio spining the strut adjust the hight of the ride.
As for your bouncyness it should be your allignment. I had the same issue with my coilovers. DSC kicked in on a 50 mph straight line braking.
But if its not ur alignment...i have no clue, cause my megans are doing fine. Only wish i could raise the front hight a little more...
Oh ya denward whats up with peter i still have his welder...

I tried calling all the mazda dealers in my area to get the allignment done, but its like 2-3weeks waiting time cuz of the summer holiday
Hope there isnt anything that can make things worse if i drive it like it is not untill i get it alligned, rather than wear out the tires...

Hey man,
I read the whole thread and so far I don't see any problems, I have megan coilovers and can't complaint about them at all. Right know I have mine adjusted about 10 cliks in the front and about 14 rear. I use my car daily and I've found that these are the best settings for the street, well at least in my car. The only thing that I don't like much about them, is that the back does not lower that much, maybe about an inch with the coilover all the way down.
Good luck,
RX8Power

Biotoxin-
At least go in and re-center all of your alignment settings to the factory centers. I'm guessing they are nowhere near. If you're running near stock height, that should still feel pretty good.

Na, im to afraid lol.
Bio you don't have to goto mazda to do the alignment. You could goto any shop that does alignments, but some don't do too good of a job. So at your own descresion.

Omg! I've been waiting a week for the mazda dealer to be able to squeeze in my 8 for an alignment, and guess wha?? After having my car half the day in the shop they call me, "sorry, ur car is too low for us to be able to do the alignment"
Too low?? damn....now what! Guess there have to be clearance between the wheels and the wheel-bow (or whatever its called in english ;p). But does that mean if i adjust the height further up so the can do the measurments that i have to do another alingment after i lower it again or..? (which i can cuz then its too low lol)
*sigh*

just go to a performance shop and have them align the car at the ride height you are going to use the car with. most likely they will charge you less then mazda anyways

I got the same response when I took mine to a shop...their answer was for me to either remove the bumper or try another shop. Of coarse I tried the later first, I took my car to an alignment/suspension shop and they got it done with no problem. The only concern thet had was that they weren't sure they could get it on the rack.

I realize this is a really old post, sorry about rez'ing it but do you still have the Megans in and loving them, or does anyone else have them and some comments. I just purchased some and I'm trying to decide if the 10/14 is gonna be the best setting or if anyone else has found a nice setting for daily driving.
