i am in the same situation...but i guess it depends on your goals. i just want to lower my car an inch or so, so isis/megan/godspeed will probably fit my needs best. now if you're aiming for racing....many will argue with going with the bigger brand name. josh (spooled240) has either megans or godspeed coils (if i remember right) on his s14 and from what he's told me they do just fine.

Enjuku are reputable guys who has been around for longer than most guys on here has known what a 240sx is. They stand by their Isis product and has input in it before it is released. If you just need a basic type coilover for lowering and driving around on, then Isis or Megan would do. If you want to track occasionally, then I suggest saving a little more for like Stance or KTS.

*I take that back. I remember Enjuku saying that Isis has taller springs in the rear therefore you can't lower them as much. So if you just want to slam your car, I'd pick Megan out of the two.

Godspeed seems to be all the hype now. Please don't get them. Get a product of HIGH QUALITY.For a couple of more Hamiltons you can get yourself something from a REPUTABLE company.

I used Hamilton as a metaphor.For saving. Take out a couple from each paycheck and you'll have more than just "$20" saved.

They probably work the same and they probably are made from the same place.

I don't know for sure, but that's what I would assume.

Just buy the cheapest crap you can find. It will work and install flawlessly. Thats what you want to hear right?

If you not going to the track then just buy all your suspension stuff from ebay. Can't go wrong. Also buy some ebay injectors, and get a brand new ebay turbo too.

You should just order every part for your car by a ebay affordable manufacturer.

If you want high quality, megan is better then isis and godspeed, i know prob about 30 people all chose megan and race them on tracks, i use megan coilovers for the last 4 years, never had a single prob, isis and godspeed coilovers r crap, i also have alot of friends that sold there tien and other high end coilovers for megan. So you realy should get those, isis is good with alot of motor stuff, but i know people who had probs with them. now weather you get megan track or street makes a dif, but both are legit. And I will argue with anyone who disagrees, I back Megan 100% when it comes to coilovers, as should you if ur smart

i heard from a guy i bought parts from that the tracks are super stiff for daily - so if I go megan, im going to be buying streets over tracks.

though I haven't had any personal experience with any type of coil, just adding more reviews.

I'm also running Megan streets. I had tein hr's on before but i blew both the front struts and was looking for a cheaper alternative so i got the Megans. The ride is a little softer than the teins but thats a good thing on my roads. I have no regrets.

I see your wearing a flex-7 in your pic do you play pb?
