BCR's go just as low as Megans. I'm already dumped on coils and I still have another 3 inches or so to go lower... they go absurdley low

I boiled my choice down to the same, just like you.

Megan $800 US
BCR $1000 US

BCR's have true locking rings, not sure about Megan.
BCR's have rubber mounts and will be a little bit quiter.
Both go just as low.

Vendors here say BCR's are overall a better build with beefier internals. That along with the fact that it almost seems that everywhere on the internet, people question Megan's quality... I just dopped the extra $200 bills and I'm happy I did.

Save for air, sell the JICs. Haha, air is always better.

Honestly I would do it myself, but i dont have time and money for that,

Coilovers all boil down to budget.

If you have enough money then you can focus on what you want to do with the car, suspension setup, features, ride quality, performance etc.

But if you only want to spend X amount of dollars all those factors go out the window.

Set a budget, see what you can afford, compare.

We are always happy to answer suspension questions, just PM us.

We can get the BCR, Tanabe, and Megan coilvoers for you guys

Naww, there's people on the forums with UAS (Universal Air Suspension) on stock struts. But you can get UAS and put them on the coilovers.

There's also the K-Sport air bags. But, best for air IMO is Airrunners.
