Either one isn't really a good choice to be honest.
If you guys are considering Megan racing or D2 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.
Bigger internals means more surface area for the shim stacks and valves, which leads to a smoother ride and better tuning of damping. The larger shock bodies means more room for the internals and a stiffer cartirdge, which means it will hold up to much more abuse. The BCR coilovers also come with a coarser thread, so you can adjust ride height easier and quickly.
Overall the BCR coilovers are just a nicer piece, for just a bit more money.
I have run Teins on a few cars I have owned and they are just too harsh for everyday use IMO. The damping they use is very stiff compared to others.
D2 from what I have seen, does not have consistent damping from damper to damper and the build quality is not on par with the rest of the companies.
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 more harsh and transfer more noise and vibration. A lot of Lexus owners like erring on the side of comfort. So BCR provides the option of pillowball OR rubber mounts.
