Then go with MEGAN because they go low and still have some comfort.. But if you are going to order there is a 3 week wait on them. Tein rides good too but they do not got low at all.

I am in the process of ordering Megans atm and I have a friend in FL that is a dealer and price is 875 + shipping and I am almost positive it would take far less then 3 weeks.

PM me for more info.

megan coils are megan coils. the reason why you can go low and still retain comfort is because you dont adjust the spring perch to drop the car... you adjust the body of the strut meaning however low you are.. even slammed to the ground you have the same amount of shock play compared to if you adjust the coilover to 4x4.

not baggin on megan or anything.. i use the megan toe arms from the IS300 on my GS400

The BCR's will actually provide more ride comfort and smoothness over the Megans if you're interested in that. They will also go lower than the Teins will.

Feel free to PM us for more info or with any questions.

Not true.. TEIN SS SLAMS the car... Iv'e had both sets the Tein and the Megans The Teins were bouncy and stiff The Megans were Comfortable but loud.. you choose

Tein SS slammed my ride... Tuck my tires in. It was bouncy for awhile until i change it really stiff and it ride cool.


a buddy of mine has megans... His was cool, ride smooth though. your choice.

i'm pretty sure which one you go to, you won't regret it.

I would probably rate them in that order except with HKS>JIC. JIC dampers are inconsistent, but not as bad as Teins, and certainly not as horrible as Megans. HKS dampers show very little hysteresis.
