Default NEX coilovers, good deal or "you get what you pay for"?

So does anybody have any first hand experience with these? Good price, but are they any good?

sometimes those chinese brands end up being good, and sometimes they are a complete waste. up to you to take a chance really.

you can get megans for the same price, why not go that route?

I was just curious. They also have a cheaper set without the damping adjustment.

I'm not a big fan of megans. A buddy had 'em on his GS and wasn't impressed.

I'll probably get teins when I do get coilovers, but I'm always looking for ways to save money.

Megans can be had for 835shipped brand new and are known to be decent coilovers for the money.

BC coilovers seem to be the next step without breaking the bank for around 975 shipped through most vendors.

Next I'd say stance or PBM's would get most peoples votes around the 1200 category.

You'd be better off with the Megans or a set of BC Racing coils like hipsi suggested.

Shoot me a PM if you'd like some help deciding on, or getting a kit.
