They arent made by the same company. Ksport and Megan racing are two seperate companies. Ksport and Megans coilovers are similiar priced but Megan racing's coilovers for our particular cars a much better built than Ksports as far as durability and performance.

I agree, no suspension can match air. Theres no point to get coil-overs just get air after, which a lot of people do when they realize that coil-overs are really just not as good.

so Mike wheres the info to back this up? i'd like to see it, thanks.

Randy i got Megan LPs on the LS and their so much better than gaysports...trust me. like someone else said, u can ride low and still have a pretty decent ride. compared to max low Ksports, megans blow them out of the water..the ksports were just utterly garbage ride quality.

ksport air is a diff thing though, those are actually pretty decent.

Has anyone tried the redesigned ksports? I heard they are built much better now. I have Megans and love them but will probably switch to Ksport airtech at some point in the future so I can have my cake and eat it too. LOL!

The megans go super low while maintaining a good ride.. I have them and for the price they seem good so far.. Everyone who rides in it can't believe how smooth and 'like stock' it rides being so low.. I've been very impressed.



Look at the bushings that come on them before you install them, as they had problems with the material the original style was made of squeaking REAL BAD when it is cold outside..

Here is the squeaky bushing thread..
