Are you sure you spelled it right?Do you mean Megan?If you do mean Megan,$1200 is a rip.You should be able to get them for about $900.

Here's a link.

Word to the wise,read up on these before you buy them.A friend of mine has Megan coilovers on his 04 STI and he loves them,but if you go on any Honda boards,almost everyone bashes them and pretty much all of Megan Racing products.I have not tried them personally,so I don't know if they are crap or not.

just because you buy it on ebay doesnt make it any different from buying the same part elsewhere. to my knowledge megan racing is a relatively new company and no one i know has had any problems with their exhausts or strut bars. dont know anyone with their coilovers though.

That's stupid...there's good stuff and bad stuff on eBay. You can get OBX crap or anything else all the way up to genuine Mugen, you just have to use your brain.

All the Megan stuff I have seen is pretty good quality I have a header and some rear toe arms on my Prelude from them.

I personally have searched ebay for coilovers and they were all shitty sleeveovers and not coilovers.Most of the **** I have seen is also some no name bootleg bullshit.I would rather pay a little extra for piece of mind if nothing else rather than than wondering if my set up is gonna last more than a few months.Everyone that I have heard who has bought suspension(springs,struts,or coilovers)off of ebay has commented about how crappy they were and how they wish they would have just spent a little more on some quality products.

yea well thats the same anywhere.. the reason ebay takes the crap is because anybody can throw up their low quality parts on there. there are legitimate parts on there too. search tein on ebay and those springs/coilovers will most likely be the same as you will find in any store, online or not. if you are buying a set of 4 springs for $5.00, you are neglecting reason.

Sigh...if you buy cheapo parts they will suck no matter where you bought them from. We've all seen the 'JDM coilovers' for $30 and if you're not retarded you don't buy them. Try searching eBay stores for name brand products and they will be the same as if you bought them any other place that you prefer.

If I buy some real Volk TE-37s from ebay will they be crap?
