Sorry... don't have a shock dyno. While I have not track tested mine, there are plenty of MR2 owners who do and have not reported any issues. I believe the same is for the 240 group... so I guess time will tell.

I've also been questioning the quality of the Megan coilovers. They do give you alot of features for the money, but something tells me that you get what you pay for.

Do you have any proof that the internals and valving are exactly the same? Because I'm hearing from some very realiable sources in the suspension industry that only the shell casings and outer appearance parts are the same. The reason these Megans can be sold so cheap is because the internal valving is junk and not the same as the old discontinued Apexis. Go to supraforums, you can read about that person blowing out BOTH his rear megan coilovers...

UNDRPSI, do you work in the auto industry, own a shop, or have any buds in this megan coilover selling business?

Dejacky is right on this... i just spoke with a VERY reliable source on this. both coilovers are assembled at the same place... but "all Apex'i parts are engineered by us. so our valving and spring rates are unique... so assembled in the same place. just different specs and engineering."
