In terms of quality? Probably, but they do come with stiffer 18/10 springs compared to Megan's 14/10.

Plus the Stance shocks were valved with more compression in mind since they're so popular for drifters.

I have low opinion of Megan coilovers, so I'll leave it at that

I pulled the info off of stance usa website. Unless they made a typo? Either way the shocks are geared more towards drifting applications than the Megans.

I need to know how these hold up in long term use. I plan on getting new wheels and brakes and want to pair them with a good coilover system.

I've had them for over a year, but I only put 5k miles on them. They're holding up ok, but they are soft. I'd say if you aren't looking to slam your car, (i.e. you want a bit of wheel gap) then these should be fine.

I don't know too much about suspension tuning. I know I want a suspension system that is sporty, good for daily driving and is reliable.

Well since it's back up I'll put my 2 cents.I've had my Megan for close to 2 yrs maybe close to 9K miles or so.Front started clinking so I replaced top/bottom bushings FIXED.The the rears started clinking-clink-clanking.Did everything I could to tighten here there and put a 2x4 under to pull up and down and it's coming from the top of the coils.Did what I can and just lived with it.Now the from just started clunking again over bumps about 3 days ago.Got under and checked here there tighten here there still a problem.I'll check under again.Anyone else have issues with clinking/clunking noises with there Megan Street coils???

It could be the top hat's pillowball mounts that are going out. I would pull off the rear coils and check for play.
