I think the megans are the cheapest, and I mean, if you're looking at coilovers its because you don't have the dough for bags...which is why I am also shopping for the megans, sadly.

I've read a lot of good things about the megans, and a few users on here have their cars set up really nicely with them

what about all those guys running air on coil?

i roll static because i like it, and it feels better than most every air setup i've ever driven in/ridden in.

The D2 and Ksport are the same product with a different label.
I loved my Megan LP coilovers.

Just for reference, 90% of the VIP cars in Japan are on coilovers. Yes, even the 6-figure ones.

I like my D2 coils, but I got custom spring rates, which rides really nice, but you should see if you can get them with custom spring rates, whichever coils you do decide to go with.

I have K-Sport on one of my othr cars and they are a bit too stiff, apart from that I've had them for 40k miles and no problems. I had D2's on my old 03 Maxima and they were not quite as rough as the K-Sport, but I did have a few issues with them. Now I just ordered a set of the Meagans to try them out. They should be in some time next week, I'll let you know what I think of them once I install them.

Buy from these guys, I'll back up the claim for bcr, megans don't go low at all IMO

My ls, bc coils bought from circuit ms set at MAX HIGH w/18s, could easily tuck if I was so inclined.






They ride pretty good at high stiffness settings too :thumb up:

I've had my Megans for about a year and a half and love 'em. A lot of other guys on here are running Megans too, not only because they're more affordable than some others, but they seem to be of high quality as well (though I've been told for actual racing applications, Megan isn't that great - but for street/dress, they're a solid choice).

he only has the coilovers. yea the megans lower a lot but they max out easy. fronts slam nice but the rears need to adjust the spring perch.
