Default Online site to buy coilovers

I am in the process of purchasing coilovers for my 95 LS. I am replacing my air ride system that is sitting down in the back. Im looking to get into something similiar to the stock ride. What are good reliable sites to purchase these?

Where can one find Megan Racing coilovers for his 93 LS400?

I can't seem to find them anywhere, except for 95+.

Any help?

the coils megan makes were actually made/tested on a 1st gen car, the boxes are mislabelled.

remember, 1st gen coils will work fine on a 2nd gen but NOT the other way around.

call megan to confirm.

Ok, so if I read your post right, then if I purchase coilovers for a 95+, then they won't work on my 93.

This correct?

In most cases, that is correct. A few members here ARE running the Megans from 95 and up on the first gen and it works fine. Coilovers for the first gen are very scarce.

i said call Megan, i recall them testing their coilovers on 1st gen LS' and them being fine.

iirc Megan actually spec'd the coils for 1st gen cars then labelled them for 2nd gen for some reason
