sw20>>s14 · 08-10-2006, 08:36 PM

WOW...the second we said the forum was getting better...so many things are wrong i dont even know where to begin...

Ricks15 · 08-10-2006, 08:51 PM

Search buddy there are allready lots of threads about the megans streets.

ramblux · 08-10-2006, 11:35 PM

You want to learn a setup you don't even have?

Maybe you want to be a french fry.

s13silvia03 · 08-11-2006, 03:10 AM

This thread sucks. Weren't there plenty of reviews after they first came out?

Maybe he does wanna be a french fry...

ramblux · 08-11-2006, 09:56 AM

I've never seen a review on these...why don't you be a poineer and buy them, and then write a review on them. As a matter of fact, you could compare them to some other intro level coilovers and give us a comprehensive review on how they compare. Who knows, maybe you'd even be able to find a manufactoring defect w/them and give us all a heads up! Or you could just read this..............

All kidding aside, just do a little research and its been covered. I have these on my s13 (street megans) and so far I love them...good luck

!Zar! · 08-12-2006, 01:01 AM

I'll be nice and not flame. Along with a write up.

Megans suck, and are for poor people.

I'd rather rock stock blown shocks then megans.

Save your money and buy tires and something in at LEAST the $1.2k+ range.
If you don't invest in suspension, then your car will suck no matter what you do.

This man speaks the truth. My coilovers are the weak link in my suspension right now, and I have KTS.

Get tires first. Nothing like rocking 205/60R15s with slammed Megans to prove you're a ricer tool.

my buddy has them on his s14 and he absolutely LOVES them. They are awesome coilovers.

*revat619* · 08-13-2006, 03:38 AM

if you really want to learn to drive, drive your car stock first. And when i say drive, i mean at the track. Learn how it reacts and so and so forth, then upgrade accordingly.

and ummm "awesome coilovers"? I hope you're being sarcastic. Megans are crap. End of story.

bodiesenmotion · 08-13-2006, 04:28 AM

i wouldnt say crap, but theres so much better stuff out there. Just dish out 300 more bucks and get something more decent. In the end you wont regret it. Overall though megan coilovers i think are what they marketed them to be. A cheaper alternative to higher end coilovers that perform just under par of the higher end market like Tein and Tanabe.

dvdevo · 08-13-2006, 05:32 AM

just save up a little more and go with a better brand.

Meagans are okay for beginers. I think they really suck. Its like a "my first coilover" Type of deal. You get what you pay for.

johngriff · 08-13-2006, 09:34 PM

wtf, what happend to your dignity? How can you push a product just because you want to hawk it?

Dude, the Megan Racings are CHEAP. You can drop 900 now, then 1300 when you pull your head from your ass, or 1300 now. Dont want to be vulgar, but you should focus on buying the right thing the first time.

Theyre better than k-sports.

koukikat180sx · 08-14-2006, 08:38 AM

i know you're asking about the street coilovers, i have the track ones. they're pretty good actually. they aren't my first set of coilovers either. I was running HKS hipermax IIs. the best way to find out if you like them or not is to take a chance and try them out. if they dont work out for you, you can always turn around and sell them.

*ManoNegra* · 08-14-2006, 05:45 PM

The best way to find out if you like them would be to bum a ride in someone's car that has them. Someone that's aligned and corner-balanced the car if possible.
I personally I've never tried them. I only have experience with HE's and Stance and so far I preferr the later which aren't to much more than Megans.

You ever heard the phrase "the truth hurts?"

If there's an area one should never compromise, it's suspension. Megans are mass-produced Chinese knockoffs that capitalize on the cheapness of ex-ricers who are now into the fashionable S-chassis crowd.

wootwoot · 08-16-2006, 06:29 AM

I wouldnt mind being a curly fry. Beside that I would eat myself. Would that make me gay?...
