Default WTB: Megan EZ Street Coilovers

I'm looking for very good condition used Megan EZ Street Coilovers.

If you have anything in good-excellent condition please share.

I don't want your old trashed, beat up coilovers.

Thanks!

Why not just buy new? They'll last longer!

Because I was hoping to find Like-New ones for maybe 100-300$ cheaper. I plan to go brand new if nothing arises,but for now I'll wait it out and see what pops up!

I have a set on my car I'd like to get rid of, they suck. Dont buy them. Havent personally ridden on BC coilovers but those seem to get much better reviews, and are only $1-200 more expensive (about $1000 shipped brand new).

If you're set on buying Megans though, I can start looking for something to replace mine with, then sell you mine..

When you say they "suck" what are you referring to?

Ride comfort, performance, etc. What's bad about them?

The are very bouncy, especially over rough roads. Even slightly rough roads result in the car bouncing around. The only time I ever find them tolerable is over perfect pavement (which is rare where I live).
As well, I've stiffened them up to try to prevent fender rubbing, and sure they're stiff over smooth pavement which creates a less then desireable ride. But when I hit a slight dip on the highway at cruising speed the stiffness goes out the window and they flex way too much, and I rub anyways. All this and I'm not even slammed, there's a figer gap or more on all 4 corners. It almost seems as if theyre not strong enough to support the weight of the car.

That may be the turning point in my interest in Megan Coilovers.

What coil overs offer very good support for our heavy vehicles, but also have good settings for stiff ride so I don't slam my car on my tires.

What do you recommend?

As I mentioned, BC's seem to get good reviews and are in the same price range. There's a vendor on here that sells them.

Well my coilover budget just went out of the picture because my car is in the shop and the repairs are not gonna be cheap!

It's a PITA that this has to happen, but its the perk of owning a 20 year old car :/
