Megans go low so do stance, but if you have the money go for stance. Teins do not go that low i believe esp the tein CS

If you guys are considering Megan racing coilovers you should really consider looking into the BC Racing coilovers.

Compared to Megans, BCR coilovers have bigger internals, beefier shock bodies, locking lower rings (so the height adjustment rings don't work loose), and a better damping curve. They end up being a lot more compliant over rough surfaces. And they tend to last longer.

Overall the BCR coilovers are just a nicer piece, for just a bit more money.

Bigger internals means more surface area for the shim stacks and valves, which leads to a smoother ride and better tuning of damping. The larger shock bodies means more room for the internals and a stiffer cartirdge, which means it will hold up to much more abuse. The BCR coilovers also come with a coarser thread, so you can adjust ride height easier and quickly.

Feel free to PM us with any inquiries. I have personally run BCR's on 3 of my vehicles and the CMS STi runs a BCR ER series.



Also FYI - Pillowball bearings will provide a more direct and solid feeling in your suspension but they will also make the ride a bit more harsh and transfer more noise and vibration. A lot of Lexus owners like erring on the side of comfort. So BCR provides the option of pillowball OR rubber mounts.

I agree with this.

PBM is a fully threaded coilover as well.

thats is my car.
18x9.5 front and 19x10 rear,
i now have 18x10.5 rears. (19x10's are for sale)
I work at parts shop max(PBM) and we are out of stock for a little while

Current pic.
I had to raise the front a bit for more steering angle but both front and rear can go lower.

believe tein SS slams more than tein CS..... but not sure... CS is comfot for bigger sedans and to maintain soft ride..SS is super sport... but really good on my accord... not too rough at all... but hear some ppl say tein are rought.... worst case, u could always sell em with slight loss and switch ... so no big deall.....
