tough choice.

my experience with 8/6 megan coilovers, is that they're a bit too bouncy for my taste, I can only imagine what the 10/8 set up would feel like.

as far as kei office... I'd honestly choose that over megan, just because of the experience and r&d that kei office has. I've never personally ridden in them, but from the reviews I've read, they're ok (like a 7/10 rating).

what's your spending limit? there are lots of coilovers that many people don't know about that are decently priced.

The Megan tracks "Spring Rates: 12kg Front and 10kg Rear"

They are gonna be STIFF , a guy in our group has them and i've driven his car and they are just stupid stiff.

"32 Levels of Adjustment:

1-8: Suggested for track use.9-16: Suggested for mountain/aggressive use.17-32: Suggested for common street use."

All that adjustabilty is overkill on a street car.
