Megan Racing Coilovers are NOT Apex'i N1 ExV coilovers: true story

I previously ran Megan Racing coilovers on my S14. I liked them, they were smooth, soft, and height adjustable; perfect for daily driving.

Megan Racing Coilovers $850 shipped Vs. Apex'i ExV Coilovers $1080 shipped

$330 dollar difference!

As we all know, theres all this hearsay about the Megans and Apex'i, as well as many others, being the same exact coilover, but renamed. Yes, yes, we all know they both have almost exact specs, 32 way adj, 8k,6k spring rates, 44mm piston...etc..

Well, just for shits and giggles, I decided to buy the Apex'i just to SEE if there was any truth or if I was just throwing away money.

Anyways, here's the review

Arrival: First impressions
The ExV coilovers are significantly heavier. Good sign for me

Install:
Just as easy as any other coilover, no problems at all.

First drive:
Provided that both coilovers have the same spring rates,

-the ExVs are significantly stiffer than the Megans!
-Dampening is more solid and rebound is excellent
-Hugs turns with significantly less body roll than the Megans

Logan @ Aspec previously stated that they are valved totally different than the Megans, which is apperent here.

So if you want to put it like this, yes they look the same, but internally they are different.

Hopefully you guys found this informative, and add this coilover as another good buy.

I've driven on KTS coilovers and I would have to say that they absolutely are up to par with them.

Overall I am VERY satisfied with my purchase.

I know this is brief, but I can answer any questions you guys may have.
