Default BC Racing vs Megan LP

Looking to buy a set of coilovers for my car to get a better stance and better handling. After reading all the other threads on coilovers I had all but set my mind on ordering some BC racing BR coilovers until I saw a set of apparently brand new Megan LPs listed in my local area.

To get the BCR coilovers would cost me almost $1500 CAD(including shipping but there maybe import duties as well) versus $950(probably bargainable). From what I've read about BCs, I can order custom spring rates. have the option of pillowball vs rubber mounts, more levels of adjustments, bigger shock body, and be able to get them rebuilt relatively cheaply. I've read that the Megan LPs were a comfortable daily coilover set with 10k/8k spring rates.

Looking for some opinions into the cost vs benefit analysis.

Thanks

Yes, the BCRs are more customizeable to your need. But if you've only got limited funds to work with, the LPs will get the job done.

OP contact us for pricing. The BC Racing are a much better buy and worth the extra money. We ship to Canada daily and can work you out a pretty good deal that will be less than that

I just bought an '06 IS250 for my wife that had BC coilovers that were installed in July last year. Just took them off as well as the 19" wheels since my wife is not into that. Can't post in the for sale section yet since I'm still a newbie. But they are awesome, much better than the TEIN SS coilovers I had on my TL.

AWD or RWD? If they're AWD, i'd like them.
