Don't bother with any of these cheaper brand coilovers...especially for the S2K...it would be a downgrade from the stock setup. I have friends that have ran these cheaper kind of coilovers in their civics, and they have broke on them...one guy had his omni's break while driving on the freeway.

Don't cheap out on suspension. It's one of the most critical parts on a car.

I myself just bought KW V3 coilovers for my S2K...I have yet to install them, I will in the next week or two...but it's a very great coilover from what I have heard. A friend on mine has been running them on his S2K and he loves them. Great coilover considering what you pay.

you know why its comparable to the Apexi N1 exV right?

because its the same ****. Same shock, same spring, and same Research and devolpment, same everything. APEXi is a rebadged Megan.

Cheap labor+mass quantity+Badged APEXi = bank.

it's actually the other way around.... Megan is a rebadged apexi n1 exv.....

i'm still very confused as to why apexi decided to start cheaping out on suspensions, cuase their old coilovers used to be really good.... but this new n1 exv for the S is junk...

APEXi, Megan, and many others buy from the same manufactuer that make the springs, body, camber plates, etc...
While everything on the outside looks the same, inside is totally different. The valving is what the difference is between the companies that sell suspension.
But what do I know, Im only a NOOB.

My buddy had these and he loved the ride actually. They impress people sometimes with their products. Just because it's not straight from Japan, or the company has been around for over 20 years doesn't always mean it's shitty.

the stock s2k suspension is probably better than anything megan could ever offer.
