Here is what im working with on a daily basis...good luck on whichever one you get!

DAMN love the drop on those! i think they might be the regular BC coilovers, not the extreme drop, anyone know how low those get?!

heard BC are not as smooth as megan LP. but it depends on how low you drop the ride. looks like you need to test it and see how you like the feel. if you like stock ride, go with megan because you wont want to drop it much.

Also for rebuilds BC is much easier to deal with. Megan, not soo much. A ton of my 240 friends who drift their cars also have found the BC's to last much longer to daily abuse than the megans. Stance's, PBM, Tein, JIC's ect are all made in China/Taiwan. There is a quality difference between the companies. There is also a huge difference in customer service and maintenance options. That should be one of the biggest deciding factors on which brand you go with. Not how low you can go LOL

I'm a college student on a budget so I'll go with Megan EZ's, I've searched around the forums and seen some nice drops with Megans.

I had Megans but not the ez's. They rode well and my Gs was slammed. The loose feeling that Crewmaxter was speaking of could have to do with replacing rear bushings. I'm on Airunner now and loving it. If I were to go coilovers agian I would go with Bc over Megans. They have many applications for your diff spring rates which is a plus and think they have lifetime warranty on there product. Someone can chime in and correct me if I'm wrong on that 1.
