Default need coilover opinion

im getting some coilovers for sc400 and was going to get Megan Racing EZ street adjustable coilovers because i liked the adjustable and soft/hard setting and im ballin on budget

but today i was doin my regular craigslist search for possible deals on parts and i came across a brand new set of tein coilovers for $650 http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2560441769.html,

the listing doesnt say model or anything and idk the specs on it, does anyone know anything bout that set? havnt gotten a hold of the owner yet, just wanted to know what you guys would say about the price and pros/cons

im in ohio so im not looking to go too low (roads here suck!) and i also like a softer ride, but a little stiff isnt a problem

Email and find out the specs, no one is going to be able to give you their opinion without knowing which model of Tein they are.

If you can I would probably go with the Teins over the Megans. Even if these are just the Tein Basics $650 new in box is a pretty good price. But remember that if they're cheaper than what you think they should be, there may be something wrong with them. He may say new and all that but I would check them out before committing that sum of money.

If you don't want to go slam it and you want a "soft" ride Teins make the comfort sports which will be as close to stock ride with coils. You'll probably have to find these kinds used though since tein no longer makes these...xp

The Megans aren't too bad for the price.

Let us know if you need help getting a set

Google is your friend


@OP how much are megans? Because PBM are only $1k and one of the best entry level coilovers.
