Here's the thing about coilovers... everyone is on a budget and there are dozens of coilovers to choose from. If you buy Megan's, you're going to be losing sleep over them not performing as well as KW's. If you buy KW's, you're going to be losing sleep over them not performing as well as JRZ's... so on and so forth.
For coilovers, ask yourself what is the maximum you'll allow yourself to ever spend on them, then you save that amount, THEN you buy your coilovers.
I've ridden in different cars with different coilovers. I'll have to say, the cheaper one's really don't perform very well. Coilovers are one of those things you could spend more on and SHOULD spend more on.
A lot of previous people have brought up some good alternatives. They're slightly more expensive but you get what you pay for.
+1 for BC coilovers, I've heard very good things about them.

something else to consider:

buy the rear half now, buy the front half later.
Summit has the components separately, if you decided to go that route.

I'm in the same situation, I am also running Espelir ASD springs with Tokico Blue shocks. Nothing is blown shocks are still good but I'm in it for the adjustable ride height and I hear Megan coilovers are the best bang for the buck coilover for street use and good ride quality...soo expect to see my current set up for sale in the near future on the SC300/400 classifieds

ppl.. if the spring rate is what bothers you, change them out. I am sure the dimensions of the megan springs aren't hard to match, for a set like, um.. Hypercoils.. lol
