i'm sure the majority of coilovers you see are made in china/taiwan, but you do get what you pay for, there are some good brands to rely on, godspeed, not one of them in my opinion, ha

Can't speak directly for these but we have had tons of QC issues with godspeed products on other platforms.

newer stuff is supposed to be on par with Megan coils, though megans still have better reliability from my experience.

i would say to go with Function Form with custom spring rates. about the same amount of money but Function Form's customer service is by far one of the best I've ever dealt with. They are in California to so if anything happens you can get your stuff repaired or replaced pretty quickly.

What about the BC Racing Python? Very popular for your car.

BC seems to have longevity issues, or had in the past. Not many I know have BC >3-4 years old without having to rebuild/replace. Megans have lasted 5+ years on many cars, including my own.

Not sure if this applies to the last 2-3 years of BC coils however.

Plus a 6 week wait as Megan never stocks the replacement parts.

PureDrifter - I've had my BC Racing on my car for about 4.5 years now. Haven't even blown a strut. Maybe you were referring to an older set. I know they have redesigned alot of things over the last few years.
