Default Coil-overs for 2is

Anyone heard of/used these Megan Racing Coil-overs w/shocks?
I would really rather have coil-overs than just lowering springs and wanted to get some opinions on the price and quality.

I personally do not like Megan Racing but to some people, their product is good enough.

i dont think they're good enough for cars like Lexuses but if you like them go for it.

Their produce is good. Not the best. They are the "cheaper" alternative.

It really depends on some of their products, Since different things get made here and there. As for the coilovers. I BELIEVE, not sure if it's the case now, but they contract the coilovers to a company in Taiwan. This company made a few for different companies and are said to be of good quality. I know this company used to make the coilovers for APEXi in the past. Not anymore though. They also make the coilovers for D2 & Ksports.

Pretty much all the coilovers look the same & work the same, except for color differences.

I have two friends with Ksports, and they ride well, and perform well. The big plus is the shock body adjustment. It out performs my TEIN SS's for sure.

But, stay away from the Megan Headers. Those are subpar quality. They tend to crack over time, but, Megan is very good on customer service and warranty though!

I haven't heard anything bad about the Megan products.

In regards to the JIC, I have heard bad experiences with their coilovers. Lots of 350z and G guys use them and when they have problems, they're on their own. JIC won't help.

thanks for the heads up. i know a lot of IS owners (including me) are eager to lower their vehicles. i personally will not get JIC due to price, and race feel. i am still waiting for Eibach to release their IS250 springs.
