Default Megan vs. Ksport coikovers

After searching on both, I still can't decide. I really see no complaints about either set up. Seems like more folks are running Megans tho.

So you guys sell me on one or the other, why should I get one instead of the other? They both have about the same features, both are where my budget is for something like this. So help me out.....

If i understand correct the Megans are a lot cheaper than the k-sport... I've seen the Megans on ebay for under 1k i beleive.. If i had to get a different coilover i'd go with either k-sport or Megans myself. At the time Teins seemed like the type to get because everyone had them..

U can even price out the Bilstein and Tanabe.. I've heard great things about teh Bilsteins..

Hit me up if you decide to go the KSport route. I can hook you up with an awesome price.

There are within about the same price. $860 vs. $868.

Still looking for why or why not, price is not the issue. I am leaning towards the KSport, because of the camber adjustment on top. That's the only advantage I really see. I'm also wanting a pretty firm ride, nothing to harsh, but on the stiff side would be a good thing.

Make sure that is applicable to our cars. When I was reading it says gs300/400/430 have the non-adjustable hats..

No it doesnt come with camber adjustments. not sure why not but I havent found the need for it personally over the past few months. Note the GS has Camber adjustments. My only gripe was the spanner wrenches suck and I couldnt slam the front like I wanted to. Megan vs. K's its apples and oranges. They New K's have a very smooth ride under $1000. If you r not in a rush order the Stance GR+ $1200ish

Hey,

There is no top mount camber adjustment on the 2GS. It only applies to some models in their line up.
