Tanabe's are better than Megan but you will be limited with that particular Tanabe set up where as the Megans will have front pillow mounts vs solid aluminum mounts that don't move (like OEM) and teh Megans will have dampening adjustments where as the tanabe's do not. Also the height adjustments are very limited on the S-OC II's.

I say go with megan, even thought they don't have the clout of Tanabe you are essentially getting more for your money which is what christmas is all about right... omg amirite??

What evidence do you have to back that up? Seriously, if your gonna say something like that you should actually bring some information as to why to the table.

Your post should be striken from this thread becasue its not helpful in any way.

I have never heard anyone that bought the Megan Racing Coilovers complain. Although they are cheap, It seems they are built incredibly well and do exactly what they are advertised to do, be a entry level coilover. Remember if you only pay for an entry level coilover do not expect F1 quality out of it.

I have KTS. I love them.

Like the Ksports in your sig photo?? lol

I have those and dman sure know I can't talk $hit about having bad @ss coils. I actually thought about getting those Tanabe SO-C II's but I didn't like how limited the height adjustable margin was or the fact that they use solid upper mounts.

P.S. Love your strut tower bar. I bet you spent real money that shiz!

those tanabes are either twin tube or non-inverted, i cant remember for sure

either way, the design is ancient, and doesnt live up to the name

just like tein, tanabe's low end stuff is working off a 15 year old design and trying to sell the name, you need to spend $2k with these two to get their good stuff

therefore, im saying neither, go with KTS or stance
