Which is also why I went with Megan's. Typically you want to swap shocks/struts at around 30-50k miles. So probably close to the three to five year mark. My feeling is if you get three years out of them that is pretty typical of a standard strut anyway.
As far as the Koni/spring out performing I can't say I agree. A long time friend had a 93 Integra and I had a 92. He had the Koni/spring set up and I had megan ez street coils. I genuinely and honestly can say they were about the same feel and handling. That is strictly my opinion though.
And my FRS ABSOLUTELY handles better than it did stock so I really disagree with that claim 100 percent.

i think the big issue with koni/spring vs coilover debate is that when you piece together a coilover, you run the risk of giving your shock too much or too little spring to handle. i can assure you that koni has a better track record than megan. that doesnt mean your findings werent true. i just think koni makes a better product based on results.

I had my first set of coilovers in 2004.
Been in this game a long long time. I mean maybe your posting for the newbies. I don't know. And I agree in a lot of ways with what your saying. I am just making sure you aren't directing it at me.

well your ferrari and just about 99% of the cars on the market come stock with coilovers. the fact that the ferrari had height adjustable shocks from the factory is badass. now i want one.
