Default Bc racing vs Megan racing coilovers

Can I get some feedback on these coilovers. Pros and cons. I can't decide on which coilover to get for my is250 AWD. Thanks

We usually recommend the BCR kit over the Megans if you can afford the extra cost. They have a couple of advantageous features.

Feel free to PM us if you want some help

I like the megans. There are very good reviews on both coils, but I'll be going with the megan lp's....

I'm concerned about vibrations? How low can you go on coilovers to avoid vibrations?

and then the crickets come out to play.

Nobody has a fix. There were the spacers for the axles but a couple of people have tried with no success.

I will probably go with megan's once my stock shocks and road magnets die.

For what it's worth, I run Megan Racing EZ's and have sold quite a few sets. I love them and everyone that I've sold them to also has given the same feedback. I've yet to find anyone who doesn't like the Megans.

Just my 2 cents.

Which coilover provides the niceset ride as far as smoothness and not harsh is concerned?
Is it better then stock setup when comparing smoothness?

Trying to follow this... what are you trying to fix? Vibrations when the car is lowered excessively? So if you go low with coils you will pickup excessive vibrations? Makes sense to me.. the lower you go typically the shorter the stroke the strut can rebound.. but asking to be sure
