    First off great choice, I have the megan coilovers on my Galant, and I love them. The installation is straightforward, the unit is all inclusive. That means you simply unbolt the old factory assembly and install the aftermarket setup. They have great adjustability 1-32 dampener settings. You will need to align the vehicle after the installation of course, and depending on what you set the ride height at you *may* need to adjust the camber as well. If you need to adjust camber you will need what they call camber bolts (you may already know) to get that back into factory specs.

    Other than that, I'd suggest a mild lowering 1"-1.5" and run the dampeners at 20-25. I have mine set at 1" lowering and 22 on the dampeners (1 being stiffest, 32 being softest). And here is a picture of them installed and before for your reference.

    And enjoy them! Happy New Year!

    for rear you will have to do same thing as i did for MR coilovers unless you find another way. They come with a extension for the rear, since there is no other way to adjust them in the rear.
