do you want an ebay product or something with high quality?

this is like asking if you want walmart brand or gucci....

apples and oranges

absolutely no comparison between the two.

i believe HKS only makes one, maybe two, system for preludes.

if you want quality, stay away from products that were made big because of ebay.

HKS definitely makes a superior product to Megan.

BUT if you're broke, the megan is still an upgrade over stock. But that's about it..

I've had Tein coilovers on my lude for about four years and I'm very pleased. Excellent quality. Unfortinatly that's about all you can get from them for a lude. If you're looking for things like sway bars and braces then Neuspeed and tanabe puts out good stuff for the 4th gen preludes.

Check out this site. this is a link for some good coilovers for your Lude if that's the way you decide to go.

I'm going to go ahead and parrot the Ground Control / Koni Yellow coilover / strut setup that is usually suggested here, it's what a friend of mine has and it's pretty sweet.

The Megan Racing products are fine. Mainly because they ARE modeled off of other major company designs and are practically identical. To hate on them because you think they were made popular because of eBay is ridiculous. No company starts off as a big name brand. The numbers they result in are not going to differ that much, if at all.

buying copied products ruins this industry and only hurts the people who put REAL EFFORT into designing products.

there is absolutely no comparison in quality between HKS and Megan.

Megan is known for budget products. The problem is the quality isn't consistant. One person may get testpipes that are decent, someone else may get a set from them and the welds and / or fitment isn't great. If you can afford HKS. Get HKS over Megan.
