Will I regret Megan EZ's?

Okay so hear me out. I basically have no clue as to how exactly lowering a car works. At first I thought all I needed were springs. Then I found out its just better to get coilovers instead for their adjustability and ride comfort. However , now that ive started looking into Coilovers (specifically the Megan EZ) Im getting all sorts of mixed information thats really confusing me.
Basically im trying to lower my car enough so that I have no more tire gap, maybe not slammed exactly but just enough so that there isnt such a huge space in between the tire and the fender.
Ive read that people are saying the Megan Ez's tend to rub a lot (which I assume is bad) and that they have to be dampened all the way stiff to compensate for that, thus wearing out a lot sooner... i think. My problem is that I dont wanna have to spend more money down the line to buy more coilovers because I made the wrong decision on what to purchase. But at the same time I hear people say they love them and that they ride great?? Im super confused on what to do right now..
I dont track my car, nor do I plan to. I just want a nice clean drop, wont rub, and last me a long time. Will megan ez get the job done? Or should I just get something else?

Also if you happen to blow any shocks, you change the shock insert, not buy a whole new set which they are $65 from megan. you dont buy a whole new set of coils.
As for review on coils, i think Megan EZ are the best bang for your buck. I have done some autox with them and they hold up well. The ride can go from really soft to really stiff depending on the dampening. I prefer firm but my passengers prefer soft and i can do either or. Also since I live in NY, i am constantly adjusting ride height for the season which i just raised it for the winter season. I love them, for the price and availability, i say you cant go wrong

Just wanted to say thank you for everyone that chimed in on this question. I really appreciate all the info and advice I have recieved from all of you and have finally, after much consideration, made my purchase today on BC's. What swayed me to the BC's was the fact that in the end they are more adjustable compared to the Megans and I figured I may as well just get what I really want the first time and just spend the extra cash on these. Also theyre black which even though you cant really see them, go with the 3 main colors im using on my car (silver, black, and yellow). I figured this will be my own little early christmas present to myself lol 
Thanks again everyone!!
Thanks again everyone!!

Megan does at $65 per cartridge. I usually replace them in pairs (i have not done them yet but what ive done for previous cars ive owned with coilovers) so you are looking at $130 per end of vehicle

Interesting.. So I assume the BC cartridges are just more expensive because of quality then? Or does it all just depend on where someone goes to buy them?

YES. So if you buy a used set for 200 bucks with a blown set of shocks... then you can buy a new set of inserts to make them good again
