Default Megan/BC racing coils

About to finally have the chance to get some since I sold some Work wheels I had laying around forever.

Looking for a little feedback from people that have either of these. I've heard some pretty good things about both. I'm looking to go pretty low, but not ride like crap. I love how the LS rides and don't mind it stiffing up a bit, but don't wanna feel like I'm riding in a stiff race car either. I want that happy medium. I don't really care about the price difference, just want to be happy with one of these two.

So pro/cons for the Megans and BC racing coilover?!? thnks in advance.... I've been leaning towards the BC's but heard some mixed reviews, only heard good things about the Megans.

Had them on a different ride (BC's) they have the better warranty for coils. But they are made in the same place taiwan and are very similar I think just the color is different and the warranty. Bc's I am looking to get another set for my 460..

See that's the thing. I've heard seen both sides of that on CL which have me confused. I seen were people say they don't go that low and others that are slammed. I don't get it.

Looks good! Got a full pic of it? so that's just the BC coils and nothing else added? How does it ride that low as well? Bouncy? What spring rates?

Still love your Megans? I'm mad I didn't ride in it before I moved out here. I'd atleast get a feeling for them.

well im cheating, im on air with BC coilovers with custom valve rates. 18/16 to be exact. BC's are my choice cause you get to choose your spring rates and valve rates with no extra charge! i went with a heavier spring rate and valve rate cause i'm planning on riding dumped which needs to be much stiffer.

We usually recommend the BC Racing coilovs, you'l get a little beter better ride and smoother damping on them plus some niver features. We can also do the custom rates as mentioned etc.

Feel free to PM us if you want some help
