Now's the time, the time has come!

I need help as soon as possible. Here's the dilemma, I finally got a new job recently, and I'm able to afford coilovers. But here's the catch, my job is very hard, and I don't want to blow more than $1000 max on my car since i'm seriously breaking my back to make that kind of money.

I was thinking of contacting Frsport tomorrow, and purchasing a set of Megan street coilovers, and have it shipped for free (promotion going on this week). But fellow Nico naught asoomal keeps telling me that Megan coilovers are garbage, and that I should save up for higher end stuff (withing the $1500+ range). . .

So I need help from anyone who has experience with Megan coilovers. Help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I know people are going to tell me to search etc, but I know the previous Megan products from back in the day weren't that good. . . But I've noticed a lot of positive reviews coming up lately. So for anyone who has purchased them recently, let me know how they are. Thanks.

Do you have money for other things like tension rods (not ebay), ball joints, and end links?

[Hoffman5982]

From what I've heard Megan Street's really aren't that bad. A lot of people are really happy with their Megan's. Does Asoomal even own a set? If not, then he really doesn't know what he's talking about

Yes, I do have the money. I already have tension rods (circuit sports) installed on my car, and they work fine. What do you mean by end links? Sway bar end links? Or you mean the RUCA's, tie rods etc? I do have tanabe sway bars on the front and rear of my car, and I put the polyurethane end link bushings while I installed it.

Asoonal never owned a set of Megan coilovers, but he has driven in the past in a car with Megan coilovers, which he claims is basically the same thing as Ebay coilovers. . .

Meagan's are just as good and solid as any coil-overs... for a short time period.

Megans are just like the low end D2 models, they start to get shot after a year or so. this is from experience and knowing people who say the same. Stance coil-overs are almost as cheap, yet time has tested that they last just as long/are as durable as high dollar coil-overs. that is what I will be getting next.

remember... what may be cheap up front, may cost you just as much in the long run.

OEM> Megan.


You want coils? Go bigger then Megan and stop reading reviews about people comparing Megans to stock blown struts.

PS: Fred, I have ridden and driven in cars with coils. Megans, Stance, GC with Koni's, and ebay s***.

GC with Koni ftw.

i ran a set of megan streets on an s13 hatch once...i ran them almost as low as they would go for about a year, i never had one blow, anything break or any issues with them at all. it was my daily the entire time, i rarely did any drifting on them, but when i did i seriously beat on the car big time and they held up fine. i lived way out in the sticks for a long while as well, bumpy dirt roads, pot holes, a few forest critters and one curb...even hit a speed bump at like 25mph driving through a private neighborhood delivering somthing after hours for work, didnt see it and wow did my head meet my roof. anyhoo, they held up to all that crap.
i cant speak for anyone else but thats my experience with megans. im not new to lowered cars by any means and have run a few diff setups. maybe i just got one of the good batch or somthing, who knows.

Stance GRs are like $1200 and I have heard nothing but good about stance, so save you're green for a little longer

[martins_240sx]

okay Ive been rocking my megan tracks for 4-1/2 years. Not one problem. solid and comfortable. my coupe was running tein super drifts and I liked my megans better. If i were you id go with the megan. they even have a new style out that are supposedly better with an external resevor. dont take peoples advice unless they have personal experience with them. a lot of people will jump on a bandwagon and post stuff just so they can feel like they helped when in fact they actually know nothing of the product but the name. im not saying these are the best on the market but they are definetly not garbage.

[E7-S14]

Going on 2 years on my megans,

my second set, sold my old car with my first set.

[allenms240]

Enjoinismo has had his coils for over 2 years, megan street I believe.
I have ksports, not too bad for their price and have had them well over a year now.

Oh god yes. I want those so frikken bad...


Megan Racing held a Drift Invitational Challenge last year.

I think alot of the drivers that participated were rocking Megan parts. I can't quite remember though. But it seems that Megan really supports to S-Chassis and Drift community pretty strongly. I have very little personal experience aside from riding in some cars with Megan coilovers and others parts. Just adding some food for thought.

2 year user of Megan streets on a S13. Work great. had RSR springs and Climb sports shocks before hand. huge differance from them.

after 2 years of 400+ RWHP and 400+TQ of abuse there still in great shape. no track time, just dyno pulls and alot of hard street driving (no drifting) they seem to be holding up perfect. I would buy them again.

I agree, there is alot of people that buy s*** just for the name. "PBM/Stance/etc" as i have said in many other threads, if your asking about coilovers, your not a good enough driver to notice the differance in $800 megans and $1200 Stances and $XXXX PBM's and s***.

i would love for someone to put stance coils on a car, then swap them out with megans and vise versa and do a driving test without knowing what coils are on the car and see which one is actually "better"

This is what i did/would do, but it is your money and ultimately your decision. You won't know unless you try, or what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, or something...

[dre1507]

i'd say to get the Megan's. Lately all i've heard are good things about the brand from people who are using it's products. Cheaper, good quality, makes a whole lot of sense to me.

+1 for Megan Streets, best bang for your buck

[indomiekid1]

i had money for better quality coilovers, but i decided on trying the megan streets, I've had them for about 3-4 months, and they feel solid.
i decided this because since my car still has a stock ka with a billion miles,i wanted to drop it for now till i put my motor together, so the rest of the money was to buy replacement suspension items.

i agree with what troublebound said you never know till you try.
good luck on choosing!
