D2 Coilovers Vs Megan Racing..

[Express]

As im getting more comfortable with my car...the stock ride is way too bouncy. I'm looking to maximize the ride quality and control of my s14. Now im stuck between two brands..

36way/D2 coilovers 895.00 shipped
32/Megan racing 899.00+ shipping

Any input or a write up on these? i prefer to hear more about the d2's..thanks

[240sxjoe92]

Lots of threads on this and most of it is opinion related....

I've owned 2 sets of megans for more than a year each.
and ive personally seen a set of D2's Blow.

i vote megan if its an argument between the two.

[krash]

Why not spend 100 more and get the TEIN basics?

[wingFeather]

I would save about $400 & get Godspeeds. I've had both Megan and Godspeed - not too much of a difference. Either go cheap, or go top of the line three grand.

[240lookis]

tein basics dont have camberplates and dont go low at all.

cross those of your list.

same s*** different colors.

My friend has 8/6k D2s on his hatch but he has it slammed. Its stiff and a little bouncy but for its height its a straight ride. Then at the same time my friends brother has 9/7k D2s on his s14 with 18"s on low profile tires and its low but not slammed, and it rides smooth as hell. Im pretty sure with any coilovers its like that, but from what ive heard and can see, the D2s are pretty nice for the money and have a nice ride too.

The megans are probably about the same quality, but i would personally go with the D2's because they are purple... thats just me lol

But if you want to spend a little more, i would say get stance

I know the purple has me thinking haha. Alot of local heads have the Megan street's, thats one of the reasons why i want to go different. I want something that will LAST..

[240lookis]

dude so many people have megans and there really isnt that much complaining so i would just go with them. i have them myself and i have no complaints so far, but they are also the only coilovers i have ever owned.
they also go pretty low too.

How's the camber adjustment on them? Do you ever go to the track with em?

[E7-S14]

camber adjustment on them is the same as any adjustable camber top hats on any coilover.
i couple months ago i tracked mine monthly
and i Daily them.

Scratch d2 and mr. I'm going with stance..now to choose. Is there a huge difference between the GR+ and the GR+pro? http://www.stancecoilovers.com/products ... 240sx-s14/

If im being a PITA..im sorry guys. I want my car to handle like a champ

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Get some quality coilovers you won't have to worry about blowing. Why would you skimp on something so crucial. I suggest:

JIC
PBM
D-MAX

There are others too, but both PBM and DMAX are at decent prices, and now that JIC is going out of business, they should be cheaper too. JIC coils are fantastic, I have them.

Don't gamble with something like that. If you blow your coils, you'll end up spending more money in the long run.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

They both suck.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

They both suck.

Lol, I hope you're not referring to my post.

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Lol, I hope you're not referring to my post.

Negative, ghostrider. I fully endorse PBM, JIC, DMax, Stance, Fortune Auto, etc.

[Express]

Lol all these good reviews on Stance changed my mind. I'm going with Stance. Is there a noticable difference between the GR+ and the GR+pro's? What would you buy?

[JDM Sil4ty]

personally, my daily has stance gr+, they go low, ride koo and get hoes, but .. i would say fck it and spend a lil more on stance lx+ ..
thats just me though ..

[Kckouki]

I had stance gr+ on my s14, and 2 pairs of megan racing.
I say get the megans, ill never buy another pair of stances.

[Gabes13]

The pro's have helper springs in the back. If you think it's worth the 50 extra something dollars, then get those. You can always take them off. They, allegedly, make a smoother ride.

[minkl81]

if its going to be used for daily driving, megans should work out fine

[HashiriyaS14]

For like $1,000 + maybe $40-50 shipping, you can get Parts Shop Max coils.

KcKouki: What don't you like about the stances?

[Kckouki]

For dding they SUCKED, was to rought, strictly track coilovers imo, and they blew after 15k miles so I dont think thats to good.

If I had to do it again id try pbm though

[240lookis]

there should be a thread dedicated to pictures of cars with coilovers slammed all the way low. i wish i had rear coils that go lower. megans dont go too low in the back.

Understandable. I'm trying to figure out coils for my MX73 Cressida right now and the only proper option is the Stance-based SerialNine setup, but I don't want to have the same experiences you did.

Megan supposedly has something on the way, but they're taking their sweet time. I wish Max did MX73 shxts.

If you're worried about rough, PBM is NOT for you.

[Kckouki]

Im not worried about it, it's just the girl has bitched ever since I got those stances 3 years ago lol.
I <3 the ride of STIFF coilovers, the stances were BOUNCY
