Shoot... My parents would kill me to spend all that money. Maybe just springs, such a tough decision.

How old is Megan Racing anyway? It seems like the company sprung up over night and started making a name for themselves, a good one. I think I started hearing about Megan maybe 2 years ago.

I agree. I almost sprung for them last week but in the end, I decided not to. I'm spending more for quality parts. I know many people on here have Megan and are happy with them, but I prefer to have dampers that actually work over the long run. Most 'cheaper' set have stiff springs to compensate for the lack of damping control. Just google around and do research before you buy them. You'll be surprised how many different opinions you'll find.

If anything, Megan coilovers are somewhat decent if you're on a really short budget. Everything else Megan makes is equivalent to the OBX stuff on ebay.

So you're saying no on the megans, and save up for something like teins?

Man I don't even like Teins for the money

Their CS-T is really a step up from their original CS coilovers. Too bad they are demanding a higher price for the set.

A lot of times, these Megans and KSports blow because of their mismatched dampers and spring rates. Contact Alexus_300 about his D2 coilovers with custom springs and shock valving. I bet if you can get them to match, they'll last longer.
