Not bashing the company, but my functions are so much better. I just wished function went through w/ the GS design, then I'd definitely look into some. I guess for now, I'll just be on the look out for some AIR.
I do hear good things about their LP's...................... and those black ones, BCr I think it is.

+1 on the stiffness. I have the Megan street coilover turn on the hardest and its really soft. Im not to low and it bottoms out in the front fenders like a motha. I would look somewhere else if you are planning to drift.
I had the Megan track coilovers on my wrx and those are VERY stiff.
So its really what you are looking for. It seems to go from very soft to very stiff

I'd say if you really want pbm's or stance and your kinda last resorting to megans don't. Although megans have proven themselves time and time again you'll always say you should have got something else etc etc.. I have pbm's myself and love that they feel nothing like stock. I can feel all the bumps in the road hah
I only have a stock sc400 but I leave them on the 7 setting in the rear and 8 in the front and its stiff!!!! I can't move the car pressing down on it, gives the SC more of a 'race car' feel I think, especially if your going to put a gte in your car.

I bought the Megan Ez Streets from Circuit MS recently. I have it at the the softest setting. Its like stock. Since its my daily, im comfortable with the ride. They also give a good amount of height adjustment. Im about half way on the coil and my front bumper barely clears a parking curb stop.
3 months later I actually like the EZ streets so much, i also put them on my FD which is at the stiffest setting and I carved up the US129 Tail of the Dragon with them. People who drove my car who have spent $$$$ on their coilovers came awy impressed.
