Megan racing coilover - Page 5 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have already shared my exp with Megan parts so I won't say more but I do agree with Jasper on their customer service. Parts came in very fast and there was a slight issue that they corrected instantly without question.

Here is a pic of mine on Megan Street Series just in case anyone is wondering how low they will allow you to drop. P.S. I am still 100% satisfied in the quality of this setup.

Are those 18" or 19"?

You can check out Tein Street Basis coils, I hear they are pretty good and its at the price of Megan coils

I have had megan racing coils, and put 30,000 miles on them. They were not good. I went with the Eibach Pro kit on stock shocks and hav had them now for 10,000 miles. I am happy. Of course you can spend lots more and get something better, but my opinion is that unless you spend 1500+, you wont get better.

Don't get the megans, unless you are just a hard parker. Again just my opinion.

What did you not like about them?

You didn't like them but kept them for 30,000 miles? You should rebuild them every 10-15000 miles. Was this done?
Sorry just seems like a long time to keep a set of coilovers on a cr you don't like.

Save up an extra couple of hundred dollars and get Fortune 500. That is just my opinion.

I've had Megan coilovers on a BUNCH of my cars (nsx, sc430, sc300 tt, 240sx track built...). I tracked my 240sx a few times on their "track" series and they did a great job. The car handled better than I expected. The other cars I used them on were just daily driver/weekend cars, but again, they felt great and I never had any issues. I always here people bash Megan coilovers (mostly people that have never driven with any on a track), but its mostly ignorance. If your goal is to make the car handle a little better, have the ability to adjust height and stiffness, and make the car look better... GO FOR IT!

I'm not going to argue that there aren't "better" coilovers out there, because there certainly are. But they're better for who? People that compete in racing for money? Yes. People's daily drivers? No, not really.

PS: I will say that the Megan Street ARE built better than the EZ series (pillow ball mounts, etc)

Stance and PBM. A tad more expensive than Megan but so much better.
