I had always heard that Megans were really good and could go pretty low while still riding good. I asked about them on Supra Forums and everybody said to go with Teins or anything but Megans so I'm not too sure
. The price of the Megans caught my eye, but I'll pay more for quality.
I got a hold of Team SNS and they seem to be the lowest price by $10 so far. I may go with Teins or the gixxer drew setup.
If only I lived in California

Go with the gixxer drew setup if that's your only other option. Hypero coils are some of the best in the business and Bilstein shocks are top notch. These are quality parts that will perform better than the Megan crap. Many of those who vouch for Megans are in the minority because they're usually the younger kids who have higher tolerance for stiff/harsh ride qualities. Lexus:Megans::Honda:APC 
Do you care about performance, or do you need coils just to lower your car? If the latter, Megans will drop your car as low as you want at an affordable price.
Teins are okay, definitely better than Megans. If you want Teins, go for a used set. Ever since Tein jacked up their price on new coilovers, they've becme overpriced in my eyes. Mediocre dampers for an outrageous price. I guess you pay for the name and the jdm'ness
When you look for coilovers, you need to define your requirements. For what purposes are you using them for? Figure these things out and then narrow down your choices.

If I trade my suspension towards a set of Teins, I'll go with that. I would never buy them new because they are way too expensive. I was always under the impression that Teins were some of the best since the Supra guys have them, but I had heard they jacked the price up. I originally wanted Megans because I heard they were good and affordable, but from what you guys are saying, that might not be the best idea since the gixxer drew setup is not much more expensive.

I've got a friend with Megan springs and he likes them a lot. They slammed his IS350. Previously I had heard that Megans were the best bang for your buck since they were pretty solid all around. Do you like the ride quality of your Megans in the rear?

that's not at all correct Kevin, crappy valving can create an uncontrollable car that just does donuts or under steers badly. Megans just simply suck unless you know absolutely nothing about suspension tuning.
