Neither. They both suck. Save your money for better products.

Save your money for something better, both blow balls. Support a company that will support you, and is not just looking to capitalize off of what's hot right now.

Click on my sig where it says "K Sports are crap".

Why not go with TEIN Basics or Tanabe Sustec S-OC Type II? Both are priced at $765.

i hear stance gr+ is a level above and priced competitively... but realy if you already saved up $1,000 why not save a few hundred more and get peace of mind too?

In my opinion both megan and ksport coilovers suck, i would rather get some used name brand coilovers on ebay or from japan. I had megan products, their street coilovers are wack, megan adjustable arms rust quickly even with pillowball covers...omg..megan just pisses me off

Please read my experience with Megan coils here:zerothread?id=283542

In addition, I won season points champ for my class and rookie of the year on megan coils. Doesnt necessarily make them good coils, but they cant be THAT bad. On that note, I also stopped daily driving them because of their harshness, and bought a buick as a comfy daily driver/ winter car.

I guess i can say that may have over exaggerated a bit, but they do get the job done. Yet, using the MR street for daily driven feels like hell, and after day a of driving my back was killing me. Nonetheless, I can honestly say that MR street performed really well on the touge
