Today my MR coilovers came in today(friday) and I wasnt expecting them to come in untill monday so the shipping was pretty fast since I bought them on sunday. Now I just need to find a day to install them. I would defintly buy from them again and they were $900 shipped http://optionimports.com. Now I just need to find some Uras NS-01 wheels.

Yea the shipping was pretty fast since I live in maine and I bought them from cal. But I have to wait till the snow goes down till I can actually test them out cuz it is being stored for the winter right now.

here is some advice before you install them into your car:

When i first got the coilovers, i just installed them as they were. I know it was stupid, but i was too excited to get them on the car and forgot all about pre-setting the coilovers. So before doing anything, setup the desired height and tighten them up before installing them. Lastly, enjoy it

We want pics!

I will be ordering these coilovers in the next couple of minutes. Should I opt for the Street or Track versions. Will I notice the extra stiffness of the Track version compare to the Street? Is the Track version "streetable"? They both cost the same.

I know they stoped producing them but they got to be out there somewhere. Heres a pic with them on a RX-7 I think they go really good with gray.

Sorry if I'm hijacking your thread, 240Kid4, but I've been researching for a while, and I can't seem to choose between these models.

The Ksports are cheap, and I've heard good and bad things about them.

The Megans are fairly priced, and I've heard more good than bad (the bad mostly coming from a friend at work...who happens to be a Honda guy)

And then there's the legendary Tein Super Street Coilovers. Most people say I shouldn't even have to think about choosing these. They are also on sale for about $200 more than the Megans. But I have heard that they are the "Ksports" of Japan.

Someone please help...

hey I only a state away I'll have to check those out once you get em on! I'm opting for the K Sports personally unless I stick out a little while longer and get Tanabe's. Tein is overpriced and know's it, they can give me free parts or go away, everyone I've talked to but the members of NICO are scared of using Megan coils, for various and understandable reasons, so I said what the heck KTS it it. If they suck, hard earned money lost but valuble info gained for you guys. If they rock, then awesome.
