here's a quick feature comparison of the two:

according to megan racing's website:
http://www.meganracing.com/products/...=468&catid=125

what tanabe USA had to say about the sustec pro 5's:
http://www.tanabe-usa.com/five.asp?id=20

i'm sure there's a lot more than what i found, but it's nothing that's top secret.

my guess is the spring rate based on the above comparison, but i'm interested in finding out exactly where it says that the tanabe sustec pro 5's ride better than the megan racing LP coilovers.

I remember someone saying the Tanabe's don't go that low... perhaps I'm wrong.

I'll let you know this though, Megan doesn't offer rubber mounts. Only pillowball (metal) mounts. Your ride will be very noisey with Megan coilovers.

Not sure if Tanabe offers rubber mounts.

I DO KNOW however, that BC Racing offers Rubber mounts. They aren't that much more then Megan... and I think even less then Tanabe. You may want to consider them. I own em' and think they are good coilovers for the money.

Oh yeah, and you can drag your @ss on the ground if you want with BCR's they go so low...

i wouldn't say very noisy, but you will have more noticeable road noise since you won't have the rubber upper mounts to absorb vibrations from the road. that being said, the 2is does a pretty good job as far as isolating road noise - just don't expect it to be ultra-quiet.

both the sustec pro 5 and the LP coilovers are retailing for ~US$1K, but you can get them for much less from the CL vendors. i believe the BCR's are going for US$1K, which is a noticeable step up in the price bracket. however, everyone that has BCR's have given them rave reviews, and based on specs alone they appear to be worth every penny.

From what I know megan do drop lower than the tanabe.

For ride quality, the answer from tanabe or megan owners may be subjective or biased.

Btw, any Tanabe owners want to swap to Megan??

To be honest, I was thinking Megan Coils also. I heard few reviews where people hate it or love it. So its 50/50. I decided I'm going to save up for JICS. I love my JICS and have no problem so far.

Areukhmer is riding on BCr right now and I can say it ride really smooth. Also you can go really low too.

Before pulling the trigger, Ask CL vendors for price, and compare them.

If I didn't have my JICS. BCr is definitely on my list for COILS

^ thanks for your input.. ok so im leaning towards BCr and megans... i also read in another thread about D2's ??? joez said he was riding on them and they were great !!! can anyone confirm this?? 699$ shipped bnib sounds too good to be true....?

steezy

hmm may i ask why? lol. i wish my tanabes drop an inch lower. haha.

$699 for what? D2? Not too many reviews on D2. Ask Joe on the D2, I think hes trying the NEW D2 on his IS-F.

Ask Nigel, He can get Megan shipped for pretty cheap.

If you want BCR ask Circuit, Hopefully that all went well bro.
