Alright i'm tryin to decide between Megan or D2 coilovers for my 02 coupe. my current set up is skunk2 springs and stock struts skunk2 upper control arms and for rubber i have 205/50/16's. I drive around the city during the summer and curvy ass mountain roads in the winter but i also enjoy the occasional auto-x. i want a 1 finger gap in the front and about a 1.5 to 2 finger gap in the back. i read TeLLy's review on the Megans from back in 2005 and they were soundin petty good. What does everyone think i should do? Thanks much.

Neither, but if I had to choose, Megan.

Ive got the full megan on 17 205/40's I can't drop the back as much as the front. Although if I went much lower daily driving would probably suffer. Before wheels about 1.75" for the front and a little less for the back (bottom of the back struts are screwed tight to the adjustable bottom piece). The front strut pieces have holes in the bottom and a flat bar that connects to the tie rod end, so the front will drop down so far that the tires would hit the hood, well probably the frame first.

i would secone Robbclark and say get neither.

just save up a little more money for a better coilover system like Tein or equivalent, you wont regret it.

IDK I like my Megans and Im not sure you can tell the difference in ride between them and Tein Basics on the street. I would say go with the Teins though just cause you can put a sticker that says Tein on your car and it would be cool but put a Megan sticker on and you might just piss off your girl friend.

Anyone else? Please

I also couldn't decide the past month or so which set-up to go with. My choices were different from yours, as I could not decide between the KW's Variant 1 or 2, the Tein SS-P's and the Eibach Pro Street S.

After much research, I decided to go with the Tein SS-P's. Let me tell you, these things look flawless right out of the box! I took a lot of pictures too! See here: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/563525057tpEyGd

Yesterday, I installed the rears only. I will install the fronts in the next day or two, as I'm still waiting for my new nuts and bolts from Honda, as the ones on the car are quite rusty.

When it comes to Suspension, I suggest you stick with the reputable manufacturers, becuase you know they put R&D behind the products, use quality materials, and are proven on the track.

I'm no suspension expert, but as the saying goes, you get what you pay for.

hahaha ONE7thREBUILT. i can actually picture this happening to someone.

you know i've actually been looking at Tein Basics. the price is the only thing stopping me from getting it right now. kind of in a tight budget. and i agree with the "you get what you pay for" thing.

I say stick wit the skunk2 springs and get kyb agx adjustables.. there great

[em2suprcivc]

I have d2 coilovers and i dont have any complaints. I love the setup, priced a little under a grand, but i like the addition and the stance my car gets from it now.

[SITNLOW97]

Ive heard mostly bad about megans and mostly good about the d2's

[Polo2k4]

Doesn't D2 have like a rally team and a drift team etc, whereas megan doesnt have anything to backup their product? I think the megan racing spec coilovers are pretty sweet tho.

megan racing has a drift team...

id also go with none, i would pick kw.

only teins that i think are worth buying are the tein flex's. tein basics blow very easily and the price your paying for tein ss you might as well spend a little more and get the flex's.

d2, ksports, function and form are all the same. all made in the same factory in taiwan. great coilovers for daily driving and pushing it a little hard, but dont bother to track or auto x these suspension set ups. i have k sports and i love them, but i only daily drive so there is no point in buying baller suspension.

for what you listed though i would go with megan racing. i know a few people who track with their coilovers and they love them. i believe megan racing is underrated.

I have megan racing street coilovers on my Evo, I am very happy with them although they are stiffer than my stock suspension. I have already adjusted the ride height lower twice.

[mugenpower07]

I have the megan and in all honesty i love them. - the fact that u cant lower the back as low as u need it. They r great. I have them with shifter spring rate. For the price u pay alot better then tein. its just a name ur buying. for everyday drive and even great for the road racing. But dont get me wrong there r better suspension out there. It pretty much how serious u want to get with it.
