They did leave a lasting impression
So are you saying that that site is full of shit? Not sure how to take the beginning part of your statement

What about my Tanabe request (post 30)

Do you have any info on the Hydraulic kit?


Edit: Posted link to KW's
Well on the german part of the website they show them:

KW automotive GmbH

Basically what it says is that if you want the hydraulic lift system you have to file a request for it ( meaning very expensive )
They factory install it on the new coilover, and you can control it from inside the car.
I don't see a price stated anywhere.

NO that site has them LISTED as a being able to sell them for the 3000gt. If you go to KWs website they show a part number for the 3/s. I only said that we are the first ones in the US to have a 3s suspension from KW. ONLY ONE has shipped to the us so far. you can confirm this with KW 1-888-713-5566

I've been looking at getting the megan coilovers too mainly for the drop and handling..., my roads are not bad around me and frankly i don't mind ride comfort anyway.

Hows does the adjusting work? Can you adjust it at the track or do they have to be off the car or what? How do you adjust them?

You mean the height, or the dampening?

The height you have to jack the car up and take the tire off.

Then you use supplied spanner wrenches to break the "lock nut" loose then you use the spanner wrenche to "loosen" or "tighten" the shaft into or out of the shock body. This will raise or lower the car.

As for dampening, its as easy as turning a knob.

Question Re: Megan Racing ride quality for daily driving

LOL - ok...

If you had a choice between $500 to go with OEM struts/shocks setup and $850 to go with Megans and your 1st concern was ride comfort/quality, 2nd concern performance/handling, 3rd concern a .5" drop (if at all) would you fork the extra $350 or go back with what you already know rides comfortably?

I wish someone down here in Southern LA had some Megan's I could ride around on. That would be the clincher.
