I've heard these are made in the same factory and painted differently? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Bc's are a much better built product. Although Im not sure how low either of the models can go if that even matters to you.

I rock BC Extreme drop kit. I like them cuz they were customizable to my liking from the start...shortened strut casing...upgraded swift racing springs and 18k/16k spring rates...i daily drive my GS and to me it is pretty comfortable...im thinking of going 20k/18k so i can go lower...i just drive to Chicago roundtrip twice in 2 weeks and the car handled like a champ on those nasty roads there...i dont know what the price difference is on the coils but the BC setup is pretty worth it imo. Here is what im working with on a daily basis...good luck on whichever one you get!

I bought a new set of Megan EZ...nice drop...but I don't like the rear feeling a bit loose on dips...don't know if I have to adjust the dampness or adjust the spring rate. but if you're looking for the slammed tuck look, I would go with Megan.
