Default What Coilovers should I get

After reading multiple threads. Sounds like I should go with the Megan Coilovers. Seems to be the best middleground of price, perfomance and lowering.

Does anyone have any other recommendations?

And how much of a drop should the Megans give?

Thanks.

Oh man, those look nice but a bit more than I hoping to spend.

Performance is the most important thing I'm looking for. If a combination of shocks and springs are better and is around a grand then I would go with that.

isn't it true that megan doesn't make coilovers for the first gen? and that they *could* fit but with some modification with the coilovers in the rear?
i just read that somewhere, not sure
