What would you guys prefer? Im in a debate between the two.
People who already one any one of these can you post your opinions about them?
How is the ride? is it smooth?
What about the lowering height?
any other opinions would be appreciated.

I've had my Tanabe's for about 8000 miles or more now.. drove from Miami to New Jersey and back... and Tampa a couple times as well... and they still ride the same as when I first put them on... for the Price and Quality....... you really can't go wrong!

I know the ride is not gona be like stock but Ive had the tein s techs springs and i thought they were pretty rough. I just wanted to know if its similar to the tein s techs or just different in a whole new way.

I am a fan of the Megan- have them on my car, and have used their products on past cars.
They have several advantages over the two other "popular" brands. They are cheap price wise-about the same price as getting the F-sport Spring and schock combo, but the quality is outstanding. They do not require re-use of oem parts, it is a complete bolt in suspension system- unlike the two "popular" brands. The do not use the spring perch for height adjustment, unlike the two "popular" brands. They have 32 way dampening adjustment. They are monotube shocks.
That said, my car is approximately 2 inches lower that OEM height and I have the dampening set at slightly firmer than what the OEM set up felt like. So far no complaints except that it took about a month of tweaking to find a ride height and damper adjustment that I was completely satisfied with.
