Default Nex GT or Megan coilovers?

Looking for coilovers at or just under the $1k mark. I have searched the internet and several club forums and the opinions are mixed on these 2 brands. I think thats because some buyers of these product havent had tuned suspension before and say the ride to hard because of the extreme change. I have has many setups so stiff suspension does not bother me, just bounce, i like to ride on rails. So anyone have opinions that are actually riding on either of these?

On my 99 accord i had tokico illuminas with neuspeed sport springs, illuminas with ground controls, apexi ws coilovers, then lastly tein ss. I dont want to go with tein basics or the ss, i want a full setup with pillow ball mounts. So thats that, what do you think? Oh yeah and i have tokico blues with some eibachs on the sc now with all daizen bushings...

I would buy the megans over the Nex. I'm sure if you spent a few hundred more you would be much happier with what you buy. When it comes to coilovers you get what you pay for.

I say go with a bilstein shock based coilover. I'm considering the Bilstein shocks with SWIFT springs via GroundControl conversion.
