i would like to spend no more than $1000 for coilovers... Just got paid and ready to order ... YAY!

whats everyone opinions on the Megan Coilovers?? Also thinking about the Tein SS.

 

Tein > Megan (at least from what I've read), but Teins could cost more than 1k unless it's Tein Basics.

 

i think the tein ss are the way to go but i also think there a wee bit more than a grand like $1200 I knew a few people that had them and like them but never had them for more than a year (due to selling of car) as far as the megans go i have no clue

 

i have tein basics. ive only had them on for 2 weeks but so far i like them.

 

tein super streets are a grand. or go basic.. i heard that megan shocks blow fast.. but idk.. what ever you want.. but i kno that tein has a really aggressive stance

 

My concern w/ tein is...
Tein basic do not have adjustable dampers... I live in atlanta and it seems every street i drive down is under construction. Are the Basics really bouncy?? soft?? stiff??


I can get the SS for a good price on ProCivic.com and they are affordable but are they worth getting over the basics for everyday street use and an occasional mountain run??

 

the basics are bouncier then stock. i definitely have to watch out for construction bumps cuz we have lots of construction here in Grand Junction too. ive never had any other coilovers so its hard to compare them with another brand. i think for the money they are good tho.

 

... ok well i think im just gonna go with the Tein basics and drive carefully lol Thanks guys!!

 

when you get urs on lemme know ur opinion of them so i have something to compare my opinion to!

 

I think you just get more adjustabliaty with the ss over the basics. I'm going with ss becuase you can get the edfc or whatever its called and adjust the stiffness of them on the go

 

^^^ good point....

what about Progress Coilovers??? Dezod has a good price on those

 

idk about those never heard anything on them

 

wow... just noticed they finally came out w/ a Skunk2 Pro Kit for the EM2 ....

i have really liked my skunk 2 springs... anyone feedback on the pro kit??

 

i would do super street. daily drive u can set them on 10 and be fine then mountains click anywhere from 13-16

 

hmmm idk about the pro-kit. my friend has a da w/ them and it rides pretty nice except for the squeak in the rear

 

lol damnit i hate making these decisions...

its between these 3 now...

1. Tein Basic $891
2. Tein SS $1125
3. Progress $1030

 

ive herd nothing but good stuff about megan.. i duno what these guys are talking about. tien ss are good too. ive herd the tien basics arent worth it, might as well get the ss...no info on the progress...

what are u sitting on now by the way?

 

Skunk2 Springs

 

get koni's and GC's

 

Koni/GC setup: $800

Camber Kit: $100

Money for other goodies: $200

 

well... i just ordered the Megans... having them overnighted for $935. Optionimports has free shipping and only charged me $39 to have it overnighted.

Now i can get Front/Rear Strut bars. or HID kit

i dunno... i'll find something to spend the money on lol

 

good buy im sure u wont be dissapointed...ive herd only good stuff about them and theyre like fully adjustable in every aspect...

 

I see that you have already bought them but, I have been running megan's for about a year and a half now. About 15 autox's and a track day, plus a winter with them on and the rears are just starting to leak. Other than that I have had now problem whatso ever with them, very quality product. Now I just need to find out if I can get them rebuilt over this winter.
