I have the megans and there awesome. And for the bumpy ride thought U have to find a position on the damper to where U like it there are 32 damper settings but only a certain number are for everyday use.I like them and the install wasnt that bad. I say go with the megans.

well, MRACING would be better in my opinon, height adjustable, and good damping. plus they look nice too! wouldnt be as hard to install i dont think.

The coilovers are nice because of the height adjustability and the pillow ball upper plates, BUT a straight rate spring like that usually found on a coilover will not give you the best ride quality.

If you want a better ride quality, stick with a progressive lowering spring (like your Eibachs) and adjustable dampers (like the D-Specs).

Adjusting the dampers on either is a piece of cake. You just need access to the tops of the struts.

I say DSpecs. MRacing is generic stuff. I would go to Tein instead.
Coilovers can give you a much lower drop but stay away if you don't want a bumpy ride. I have Progress coilovers and my friend has Teins Basics. They're both bumpy! You feel every single little bump. Stick with Dspecs if you want a good drop and a comfortable ride.
