ok 3 weeks ago i try to order a set of street coilovers from megan racing, there back ordered. ok tahts understandable. they claim they will ship them on friday. NEVER HAPPENS. by this point they stop returning my emails. so finally on monday they claim they will be out the next day but guess what NOPE. there was a "shipping error" as they call it. so they say that if i wait until next tuesday and we pay express they will ship it 2day. by now i jsut want my car back on the road so i accept. the next day i check my tracking to find taht those f***ers turned it around to ground shipping and took my extra cash. consequently i dont recieve my coilovers until next monday. screw them im going back to tein, its worth the extra cash. please save yourself the troubel and dont deal with megan.

Anything that they sell is available for purchase on their website, at their own MSRP, so their products are more expensive than what other retailers sell them for. Personally I think their products are well made, but I've only had one customer service experience with them and it wasn't too good. Long story short, they sent the wrong hardware with a part. I emailed/called multiple times to get the right stuff, and they promised to send it out, it was being made, wait another week, wait til the next week, its on its way. Ya, never got it. Keep hassling them or else get your payment cancelled and buy from a retailer that has them in stock.

Does Megan even sponsor racing in any form? They sell crap on ebay.. it shows up everywhere and it's annoying. Fortunately, I won't purchase their products. I remember when I was searching for Mugen a couple years ago... I get a bunch of Megan megan megan megan.. all over the place. Trying their best to start a company on ebay.. looks like it worked, and now they're selling their crap to everyone.

I guess for the budget minded people, Megan is the best thing ever. Now they can purchase 3x the amount of Megan mods with one paycheck. woohoo.

Yeah, I'm bashing. I think they suck. And it seems their customer service certainly does too.

Megan does make some good products, but the majority of their business is distributing to resellers so their customer service is lacking. Solution, buy from a reputable sponsor that stocks them.

Hey thanks for noticing that I graduated from third grade not grade three moron lol telling me bad grammar lol idiot to bad graduating from kindergarden doesn't say much for you. To be honest I really didn't care I like to make bishez like you squirm and think they are superior when in reality your no different than the **** on the streets. Insecure lol I believe your the insecure one, if you werent insecure then the canada comment wouldn't have bothered you but we all can see it has. one snitty remark deserves another of course, but dont forget you're trying to believe that your righteous remember, isnt saying much b/c of your lack of intelligence. But I'm sure you'll respond b/c you can't stop to think that maybe I am right. If you do respond thanks for proving my point lol OWNED.

I've dealt directly with Megan and one of their reseller's. The reseller sucked bad..

You need to contact Megan directly in City of Industry CA. check their website for the #

Ask to speak to Calvin, I believe he is the manager.

Another tip when dealing w/Megan directly: Barter..yes they WILL lower their prices. Never know til' you ask right?

back to topic I received my coilovers from megan racing, ordered them from http://www.bishopmotorsports.com awesome people. I must say they're amazing definatly worth buying just new coilovers solved every suspension problems I had with my car, shaking at 55-60 mph is gone, no more wheel hopping, it actually smoothed out my ride while at the same time giving me the performance I desperatly needed. I threw them on the way they come from the factory which I believe is on the softest setting. I'll be writing a complete review of them today while at work.

All the parts you find on the Megan come from Korea/China. Megan is chinese owned it isn't JDM. I wouldn't be surprised when you wine and cry when your dampener goes faulty. It defenitely isn't reliable equipement like major brands such as APEXI ot TEIN. You think there high quality????? You obviously havent ever bought a good set of coil overs ever in your life....

dude your a fool, Megan racing coilovers arent from china or korea, they are out sourced by different companies. Definatly isnt reliable as apexi or tein pure ignorance right there my son the same company that makes the Apexi N1 EXV makes the Megan Racing coils. Also there made in Taiwan not korea or china, Taiwan produces alot of the JDM coilovers that you so desperatly love. Also Tein's aren't something special as well, their good but not that good.

http://www.bcec.com.tw/ thats the company that makes several coilovers for other companies.

MMM O.K....... If you really think so, I hope you are happy with your product..... It is nothing close to the APEXI EXV, and saying something is better than TEIN, is just outright wrong!!!!! But just so you and I don't debate over something so stupid, I will end with I am right and you are WRONG!!!!! I can't believe you think Megan Racing dampeners come even slose to the Apexi EXV. Just because there is a sticker that says made in Tawian, and they have the same coilover/strut housing, doesn't at all mean that the internal components are the same as the EXV, that is just blasphomy....... Do your self a favor and email, or even call Megan Racing's direct office in Long Beach, you should do the same and call Apexi's main office you are seriously confused about product placement, and what parts are sourced for different companies.......

sadly your the confused one, dont bother calling them, call the actual manufacture BC they'll explain everything for you theres no difference cause shoot there the ones that make them. Unfortunatly you have no clue about how some businesses function they usually outsource products and slap their names on them b/c its cheaper and most cost effective. You make it seem like Tein is god unfortunatly they aren't if you enjoy spending over $1400 for a coilover you can get outside the US for less than $600 hey go ahead. Unfortunatly your pissed off because I'm right your wrong. You have no clue what your talking about b/c like I said BC makes the Apexi N1 EVX and BC makes the Megan Coilovers theres no reason BC would put crappier parts since they make them for both companies shoot they even have their own line the VH which is EXACTLY the SAME as both. Theres no different valving its exactly the same. I wont call corporate offices why b/c I've dealt with numerous company customer service who have NO clue what the hell there representing. I dont understand how your trying to fight me on it considering everything your stating is opinion no actual data. I provided the company who makes them go fondle there balls in order to be told your wrong. Your a perfect example of a tool, you assume that b/c a company sells a product more expensive that it automatically makes it gods gift to the world, you assume b/c its got such a high name brand that were blessed with its aurora. Your just pissed b/c I'm getting the same performance for less.

Actually, they are the same. There was a thread about this in just about every 240sx forum awhile back once it was figured out. Tein isn't the master of suspension that some make them out to be. Just look at how crappy the S-tech springs are in comparison to RSR's.

All BC sells is the same "strut/coilover housing" the internals are not at all the same. They also sell this housing for a wide variety of other strut/coilover manufacturers such as D2. It is misleading for you to throw in a sales pitch for Megan and claim that they are the same. I really feel sorry for the poor sucker that buy $800 coilovers and think that he is getting the same quality from $1200 coilovers....... That isn't how our performance based industry works. If Megan sell's Junky strut braces there is no way you are going to get me to believe with your mumbo jumbo that Megan and Apexi have the same internals to there coil overs, it's just not true....By the way you sound like you sell Megans, and I don't listen to distributors, and salesman I actually do some research

Actually you are lame too. The thread starter that started all those threads in NICO, Zilvia, club240, and even Fresh Alloy was the same guy that markets, and distributes, the Megans. Some clown named "underground" started all that B.S so he could sell you coil overs. He claimed you will save $400, really Apexi needs to sue Megan, it's just a load of crap....

lol wow your such a tool LOL. btw im a customer not a distributor. I only purchased the coilovers, I know megan didnt touch them they just put there name on it. I'm not throwing in sales pitch I just know what im talking about, I know how businesses work. BTW the apexi coilovers are not $1200 I've seen them as low as $1000 not far off from the $900 that megan retailers sells them for. BC doesnt make the D2 housing etc etc. This isnt how the performance industry works? Um youd be surprised how some companies in the "performance industry" work even your beloved Apexi, TEIN. Again were not talking megan struts, manifolds etc etc I could careless about that crap I'm aware some of there stuff is garbage, shoot Apexi SAFC-II is complete garbage you dont see me ragging on it. Again were talking about a coilover produced by ANOTHER company who happens yo make the same one for a HIGH Name brand. Unfortunatly you cant read for ****, do some research BC makes more than housing you'll even read about their valving etc etc. DUDE again your blowing off garbage your saying its not true, stop talking out your *** and prove to me its not true, your just talking and not walking good god man, I provided the proof. There is a reason why some race teams are using them as opposed to your beloved APex, TEIN, GP Sports, when they can use them and price isnt a concern. Ok explain the other forums in which "underground" wasn't apart of such as the Honda forums, DSM forums etc etc all stating the same things. Apexi needs to sue Megan? for what, what did megan do to. B/c BC decided to offer a deal to Megan and say hey we'll build you coilovers the same ones we did for Apexi such as their N1 EVX line for a certain amount.... Get through your head dude your a TOOL. Your arguing b/c you cant accept the fact that hey maybe you can actually get the same performance for well known brand for a little bit cheaper. Also Apexi and Megan coils retail for almost the same price it just depends on whos selling and giving the deals.

If you knew anything about how buisness works you would know that there are laws in the united states that are against what is called price fixing and gouging. BC first off would never allow a company to profit from their coilovers at a much more cost effective price, then what they sell it for, this isn't how competition works. You may believe what you will, and believe the idiot that started the threads in almost every forum on how you save money buying the Megans over the Apexi EXV's. You are only fooling yourself thinking that you recieved the same product that came from the Apexi line of products. You get what you pay for. You my friend are the Jack A$$.

unfortunatly you have no clue what the hell price gouging is. Let me give you an example. Price gouging is raising prices on important items at a crucial moment for example during a hurricane gas, water, and bare necessities are say normally at $0.50 a gallon of water to $3 a gallon of water thats price gouging when the need is crucial. What your refering to which isnt price gouging its more called America open free market which means I can take whatever item and sell it for whatever price, dont like my price to bad go somewhere else. BC produces the product they dont care what the buyer sells them for as long as the buyer meets the demand for example money. Say BC sells the coilovers for $500 to Apex and Megan, Apex and Megan can turn around and sell them for whatever amount they want. Apex assuming hey supply and demand hey we'll use our name and slap a $1200 price tag and people will buy it, Megan goes hey we'll sell them for $1000 for the same kit yes we'll lose money but b/c they are the same thing we'll sell more in turn making more money over the competition. Like I said BC profits on making coilovers for companies in large orders not to mention BC makes enough coilovers for lots of companies that they really dont care what company sells them for. Did I believe the idiot who started the threads? Nope I did my own research and other people did as well and have done tests to prove they are the same. Are you upset b/c people are saving money on Megans kit that are the same as apexi, or are you just a fan boy who is like "no way in hell nothing is better than apexi." I get what a pay for in some instances yes and no like I said Apexi and Megan probably bought them for $500 for the same quality and performance the rest is left to the company to decide what to market them at. Well so far Megan has a sold a godly amount of them with usually backorder of 2-3weeks NOT ONE has been reported to fail and some have had them for over a year not to mention Team Enjuku is running them and probably have put stress on them than most on this forum and so far so good. Please explain all that to me. I may be a jackass but atleast im an educated Jackass as oppose to you who states a opinion as Gods Word. can you say you got your *** handed to with complete Ownage. Dont try to tell me how a business works when you completly have no clue how the economy works.
