Default Megan EZ or XYZ Coilovers

Which would you guys go with?
Megan proven and known within this crowd. XYZ not as well know but has alot more adjustments. Only thing I see might be an issue for me is the front spring rate seems kind of stiff.

I can get a pretty good deal on the XYZ but not sure if I should take the leap on them.

Everyone knows the Megan EZ's so no need to link them.

The XYZ look good but the real questions are ...how much do you want to spend because for that much you can get the Megan LP's (which I have and love) or BC Racing ( which many have and love). The EZ's are the cheapest. Do you plan to Slam your car?

I was initially buying the ez's but ended up getting the BC as I'm going for 1 finger gap or less. It all depends on your drop and your wheels if you will have aftermarket ones

My cost on some XYZ's would be less than Megan LP's.
I plan on going with about a finger to just abit less on the drop.

If you plan to rm an agressive Fitment of a wheel then I'd go with something other than the EZ. The EZ will go to a one finger gap no problem, some people just get the higher spring rates because they want a stuff ride cause their wheels poke out and want to avoid crunching their fenders.

I am not going to run anything aggressive at all.
My fronts are a 40 offset and the rears are 45 offset
The hella flush cambered look is not my taste.
Looking for a nice smooth ride that is lowered if possible.
My Buddy Clubs rode great on my SC300 but too pricey this time round.

Yeah, I'd say the EZs will be good for you. I wouldn't trust that XYZ stuff.

If you're going for a budget coilover then go EZ, not XYZ.

Feel free to hit us up for help and a good price on a kit

My cost on the XYZ set up is just abit higher than the Megan EZ's..not by much either.
The front spring rate is the only thing that kind of steers me clear of them as I am wanting a smooth ride with no jarring bounces etc.
For instance...customers Supra on TEIN Flex to me rides like *** for normal daily stuff around here.
On the 1/4 mi they are not bad as we have got them worked out pretty decent to squat and hold. If we could get some rebound adjustment in the rears we would be good but thats not gonna happen.
Now another customers Supra on KW3's on the straight rides pretty good just a tad bouncy but we could change a few settings and calm it down abit I bet.
I am just wanting a nice smooth ride as my main goal and having a decent drop with like a finger to half a finger gap at most...do not plan on tucking tires while I stand still.
