Default Are Megan products any good?

Wsup. I'm trying to find some springs to match w/ my KYB/AGX shocks. I came across some megan coilover kit. I was wondering if anyone heard of the Megan? Are their products any good? Should i get these coilovers for my shocks or does anyone reccommend anything else? Below is a link of the coilovers.

When referring to Megan Racing, the term "you get what you pay for" really comes into play. Yea their parts are cheap but you trade off quality.

You have an I4 there is only one header. I haven't heard anything bad about Megan headers, unless you factor in the part where they make crap for power just like most other H22 headers.

My lude had/has some megan strut bars when I bought it, that do work. Of course you can't screw up a strut bar that easily.

As stated before, the header won't make any more power over stock(It's possible you may even lose power)... Just keep and eye on the welds.

I dont know why everyone bashes Megan. Yeah, the header isnt going to make HP like the $1000 headers, buts its a nice peice. Welds r awesome, and it looks great. Dont expect any power from it tho. I just got mine to complete my swap.

My buddy just got some Megan coilovers for his SRT-4. Very nice peices. they still ride like **** but way better than his tein set-up. SRT-4's just have the worst suspension design ever.

well thats funny, because when i had it on my car i made a half decent gain with my other mods. You should not bash a company until you test their products.

Have had good experience with them. Their rear toe control arms saved my alignment, and they are solid.

My sister had some of their springs on her ZX2 and there was nothing bad about them.

Who said he has an h22? I know Megan is by far not the best choice for an h22, but if he has an h23 their header actually is worth the money, hands down. I love mine. Megan makes good parts.

Megan parts are kinda like OBX parts i work for a company that is a HUGE supplier of OBX parts.
Their parts aren't the best of quality, but none the less they do work
but be careful of OBX headers their welds are ****
i know because i see and inspect them everyday
