Default Are these Coilover set Legit?

Hey I'm not too familar with suspension, and the quality of other brands are. I was looking to lower my 1998 Civic Hatch. I was looking at some name brand lowering springs such as Skunk2, eibach, ground control, tokico, ksport and tein. But they all start around $140+

my question is how is Megan Racing? the brand? I saw a set of Megan racing coilovers for about $100.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Megan...Q5fAccessories

How do you guys feel about megan racing? any good/ experiences with it? The reason I'm thinking about this product is because it is a set of adjustable coilovers. I just don't really know about megan racing though..

any help feedback, suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
thanks.

I personally wouldnt buy them because there are a lot better and proven components out there. I would ask to see what the spring rates were. They will probably blow your stock shocks quickly, so you will need new ones. Depending on height your best bet is koni/gc, pic apexs or a simple shock lowering spring combo, like koni/h&r sports. They wont have the adjustibilty of the coilovers but will probably ride a lot better. With the koni shocks you can adjust height a little bit by the spring collar thing on the shock. (Cant remember name).

Didn't "Megan Racing" originate on eBay trying to piggy-back off the Mugen name? Now they're a "legit" manufacturer?

This world is going to hell.

if you don't have the cash, then leave the car alone until you do, you end up spending more money when you buy multiple "for right now" setups than you do by saving up and spending the money right the first time. Take this advice from many people on here that have spent countless dollars on crap until they finally just forked over the cash for good stuff

You don't cheap your self out on suspension.
I'd say save up, for something worth while.
