They are one of my key sponsors and do make some very fine products, why I went to them for my needs in the first place.
We have had several indepth discusions about the rear coilover issues and they are pretty amazing in customer service and taking this with the highest regaurd and bringing out an updated version and replacements for us in a very quick timeline. I was told today, 2-3 weeks at the most, that is incredible, no other company has dealt with issues that quickly I have even known of and I have been doing this almost 40 years.

I did get an alignment this weekend and it made the ride much smoother. My camber was really off in the rear making me ride on my sidewalls. I have Potenza RE070's from my buddies STI and the sidewalls are very stiff.
I continue to be happy with them, and look forward to the revised rears.

Oops,
I just called Megan to check up on this, sorry, they are not in, no date set to expect them either, they can only say that it should be fairly quick. If you are in this industry in any kind of way, you know that is a very opened ended statement, could be weeks, could be..... I am hoping to be seeing them just soon a possible myself, we just have to be a bit patient.

I should have mine installed by monday. I'll do a full review when they are installed. They are just sending replacement cylinders with longer springs so you have to take the coilovers apart. I'll take pictures when they walk me through it.

Update:
I installed the new cylinders and springs. Pretty easy to do. I did the whole thing in 4 hours by myself without powertools and using jack stands. The ride is 100% improved. There is no more banging or slamming in the back. I really like the ride now.
I did run into one huge problem though. I cannot lower the rears anymore. I'm driving around and the car looks like an old mexican monte carlo jacked up in the back. I think the springs are too tall leaving no room to lower it anymore. My only option is to add a lot more spring pre-tension so I can lower it more. The upper and lower lock rings are about 5mm away from each other as it sits now. I'll contact Megan and see what they say about it.
