yeah, its what i have on my SC. PSM selling points for me was that they are local, low price, good quality/rep, stiffness and ride height adj. at first, they were hella stiff but since the SC is my DD, i got used to it. it all depends if you can tolerate the harsh ride.

Megan D2 Ksport and BC are all made in the same factory in Taiwan, honestly for 1100 I would say another hundred and go Stance.

Totally incorrect.

D2 and Ksport are the same and made in Korea - not worth the money IMO.

If you want "The Best" coilovers under $1000 then go wit hthe BCR coilovers.


Compared to others, 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.

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.



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.


Feel free to PM us for pricing or if you have any more questions.

From the data that i have collected the Megans give you the same options for tuning like the other big name brand but at the same time are price for people that are getting there feet wet and dont want to pay a crazy amount just for bragging rights!!!
the Megans will give you a SLAMMED ride it thats what your looking for...

keep in mind for $8XX dollars you get

* Spring Rates: 10kg Front and 8kg Rear
* 32 Levels of Adjustable Damper
* Pillow Ball Upper Mounts.
* Rubber Dust Covers.
* Adjustable Ride Height
* Aggressive Spring Rates
* Single-Cylinder Design
* Aluminum Brackets
* All coilover damper kits come with 1 year manufacture-defect warranty.
* All Hardware is Included
* 32 Levels of Adjustment:
1-8: Suggested for track use.
9-16: Suggested for mountain/aggressive use.
17-32: Suggested for common street use.

(HOW DOES IT MAKE SENSE TO PAY A GTE ENGINE SWAP PRICE FOR COILOVERS THAT YOUR NOT EVEN GOING TO USE FOR IT'S SPECIFIED PURPOSE...!!!!????)

Because they get the job done. Not to mention you can turn them into GR+ Pro's by purchasing the helper springs
