Don't know about Tein, but GReddy and Megan are made in Taiwan. I have GReddy's on my AE86. I've rode in a car with Stance coil-overs, a 240sx. They were stiff but rode nicely. I was used to driving my AE86 on the street that probably any of these coilovers on the SC feels better than my 86.

I'd probably go with Stance though. I think most people that voted on the poll don't even have the coil-overs just heard they were good. I read somewhere on here that a guy got Tein Comforts for $1250? Whole sale is $1185 so that was hooked up..

Tein comfort sports seem good but I think I'd just be paying for that "comfort" name. I'm looking at either hipermax III's or Stance's, Stance for.

I say go for the Megan's. Ive had those and the teins. I dont care what anybody says i liked the megans alot better, more progressive spring it would seem. Im no coilover expert and all that jazz, but the megans just seemed to ride better is all to me. The roads here are terriblly bumpy so maybe that is why. But they way i have them set up now, they are hard when they need to be but comfortable at the same time.

im riding on megans right now, they ride lovely. no complaints at all. nice and stiff if you like stiff, but also nice and comfy if you prefer a softer daily driving setting.

I like my CS, perfect if you drive in areas with supersized potholes.

I am running Megans... the ride is smooth over imperfections on the road, straight aways and turns.. however if taking a turn with a dip... the car feels like it will break loose....

Megan Dampers have higher spring rates than the Tein Basic, SS, and Flex. Also, More damper adjustability than the Tein SS. Jeremy Blackwell from SpeedForSale.com just had a GB on the Supra forums and all the guys had nothing bad to say about them. Im running Teins and my brother is running Megans.
