as far as I know, Megans go lower and they are 2x cheaper.
But I dont know about the difference between puting UAS on tein and megan, I believe its very similar.
I would go with Megan for sure!

i have search this topic on here and vipstylescar...already thats why i am asking caus eevery thread has mix revieds but over at vipstyles everyone leans towards megans...

ok i talk to zack at UAS and tein cs are the best bet, if i use megan i have to modify abunch of stuff for CS UAS has brackets for it already..hopefully i can get this done by christmas

hmmm, I´ve never seen anything like that done to coils to put UAS. I wonder why its necessary?
I believe it also depends on what car you have. May be with IS it is the right way.

If i recall correctly, you have to do this for the IS, 2nd/3rd Gen GS if using Megan ONLY.

They had to cut the strut so that the bag can sit lower on the strut.
