All you guys that have the megan racing coils already, are you using them on your GS300 or GS430? I have an '01 430 and was wondering if the model numbers for the coils are the same or are they different like springs? I really want to get these but am trying to find them for less than $900 ... Any ideas? If you can't advertise prices or websites publicly please pm me with the info

Hey Awsome, would love to see them on. No i haven't got them, Im still considering maybe Stance coilovers or 'local' Tein SS (Fulcrum suspensions), although for me i think the Megans are the best value (it'll still cost us twice the price shipped aye lol). Let us know if you get these

If you guys are considering Megan racing coilovers you should really consider looking into the BC Racing coilovers.
Compared to Megans, BCR coilovers have bigger internals, beefier shock bodies, locking lower rings (so the height adjustment rings don't work loose), and a better damping curve. They end up being a lot more compliant over rough surfaces. And they tend to last longer.
Overall the BCR coilovers are just a nicer piece, for just a bit more money.
Feel free to PM us with any inquiries. I have personally run BCR's on 3 of my vehicles and the CMS STi runs a BCR ER series.
Also FYI - Pillowball bearings will provide a more direct and solid feeling in your suspension but they will also make the ride a bit mroe harsh and transfer more noise and vibration. A lot of Lexus owner like erring on the side of comfort. So BCR provides the option of pillowball OR rubber mounts.
