I'd get stance over megans any day.

LOL.. I was smart and chose to get neither onejkjk

haha, but I've had enough seat time in both megan streets and stances in various damper settings to make clear judgement.

well as far as reliability, I can't say how long either one will last you or whatnots, both will give you a stiffer ride and they both have about the same adjustability.

But if you think that extra ride comfort is worth 300, then I'd say go for stance.

If I were you, Id really try sitting in a ride along with someone that has megans or stances to give you more of an idea of the ride...

However, I know a few people that actually drift with the megans. My buddy (JXN on nico) uses them in his drift car (he even sells megans too), he can even admit to it's bounciness

I can safely say that KTS are EXTREMELY reliable. I've had mine for around 3 years and have put at least 25,000 miles on them, through rain, snow, heat cold.

I have heard nothing but reviews on anything KTS or SPL.

its not hard to hear nothing but reviews.

the problem is were they good or bad review?

j/k. spl coils i heard are good. im personally going to be purchasing the powered by max ones over megan racing or stances.

haha why is everybody jumping on the poweredbymax bandwagon? I can't speak for their coilovers, but their suspension links are THE worst design I have ever seen.

Their rod ends have the smallest misalignment angle I have ever seen.
