Damn! They look nice! Look almost exactly like my Tein Flex!(except for the color) I should've waited before I bought mine. Paid like 3 times more too!

Been driving on these for a week and a bit, and I stiffened the shocks by 3 clicks all around, making them 15 front and 18 rear (32 being hardest, 0 being softest). So I'm still comfortable on the street. I've really been pushing my car around since the tools and fragile stuff have finally been cleared out my back seat, nothing to throw around back there anymore. Still solid as a rock, the polyurethane rear sway bar bushings are the only components that complain in hard turns or bumps, it's dead-quiet compared to my old Hayames, which would click and bang and creak if the suspension travelled at ALL. I'm still very satisfied with these coilovers, but I wish I'd dropped it a little more before going in for the alignment. I'm sorely tempted to just SLAM it for Darknights this weekend. People on ClubRSX say the front doesn't go all the way down but I've got a good amount of thread left up front, and my fender is sitting right on top of my 215/35/19 tires. I highly recommend these coilovers to anyone looking for performance at a decent price.
Here are a couple of pics of how ELena is sitting right now, she's got at least an inch left on the rears and about 3/4" (maybe more) up front, so I really can slam 'er on 19z:

Good job man...slamming is all relative by the wheels/tires you have. Even though you look lower, my car is lower than yours because of my 15s. Just keep playing around with them...

I have an 04 and yeah my mechanic has to drill the hole a little bigger in order to fit (on the suspension) but he reassured me it won't damage anything. It's been on all summer and yes other than the squeaks from my rear sways they're great!
so is $1349.00CDN considered cheap at beperformance.com, seems kinda high for a start-up company, although i do have their "hi-flow cat" and that was pretty cheap...

By "kinda high for a startup company" do you mean BE or Megan? Megan's been around for a little bit now, and they do have a reputation for knockoffs as well as some of their own products, but I think these coils just might bump their rep up a little.
IMO these coilovers should cost more than they do now; I mean, it's a startup company and all, but Megan has taken aim squarely at Tein, D2, and pretty much all the "street" coilover sets out there. Granted, Megan's site seems to label these coilovers "racing spec", a designation my car is not prepared to test, but I think 1350 for a set of streetable coilovers with tons of features is a great deal. My mind might change, like it did with the Hayames, but if these coilovers still handle the same and don't seize up after this winter, then I've got myself a bargain. As far as build quality, they felt real solid right out of the box, and since installation (3 hours, which is fast for me) and alignment, I've started yelling "yee haaaaaa" around corners again, something I'd forgotten how to do since my Hayames started acting up. I've ridden in Civics with coilovers that cost twice as much, and my ass, which is an excellent skidpad and dyno all rolled into one (LOL), likes the Megans just as much as Tein SS. My ass also likes spankings and 2-ply toilet tissue.
I'm not sure if you're in the market for coilovers, but anytime after Darknights you're more than welcome to come for a ride to see what you think. I'm pretty sure you'll be pleasantly surprised.
