Only problem with the Megan (and say my Teins) at the moment would really be-
Don't know how they ride, but I've been told KW - http://www.kw-suspension.com/en/index.php are good for winter driving, being stainless steel. Know they were a bit more pricey compared to my Basics thus why I "settled". Though I honestly wonder now if I should have.. oh well, what's done is done.

but I thought Tein's rusts like crazy as well .. that's what I heard from many owners... I think coilovers in general unless you spray some stuff on it, will rust and rings will be stuck etc .... I guess as long as you rinse often it should help .... again, this is my first season with mine so we'll have to see ....

either I miswrote or you misunderstood..I am not saying Tein's will not rust .. on the contrary -- basically have to take them off in the winter, or be prepared for seized up coilovers.. also helps their operation to anti-seize them up (Coilover Loving) .. I know I should probably do this soon .. as well, my silicon lubricant was just a temporary fix..

If the Megans seize up, it'll be no worse than my Hayames, at least they'll ride better, LOL. But I'm gonna be extra careful regardless, grease up the threads etc when I swap rims...better safe than sorry.
i have the KW inox...imo they are perfect for canadian driving because they are made of stainless steel. more durable for the winter road conditions up here.
that aside, the ride is really good. they kw's are awesome

Rep Power: 302 Megan Racing has been around for a few years.
I've talked to them directly and they claim that their coilovers will not rust like teins.
the Megan Coilover is basically a copy of the Apexi. But considering that most JDM aftermarket parts are now made in taiwan as well the quality of the Taiwanese brands are just as good as the more expensive JDM brands.
The other Megan Racing products i've seen have been pretty good quality.
either way the top 3 are all decent systems...
now it all depends on how much money you want to spend.

I also recommend KW's
I can't say enough good things about them. I love the ride (kinda hard), and the handling (think go-kart). And they are stainless steel, so they should last for a good long time, even in the winters.
