I currently have the megan streets on my 2002 WRX and they ride great and the quality is very good.I track my car monthly and havent had any problems with them.My brother in law knows almost every import aftermarket performance company out there.And he told me to get them in the first place because there made in the same factory as cusco coilovers and that there very good quality.They have a pretty aggressive spring rate and dampening rate for a street coilover.The only reason why there priced so cheap is because they are a new company.In a few years they will be expensive like everyone else.Thats what i have to say about them.

Thanks for all of your guys input. I think I will go with the Megan's. If they break or are not what I like I will return and/or sell them and try the Tein SS. Thanks again for your thoughts on my sitiuation.

i DD on my megan track's and they have done nothing but work great for me so far. only complaint is that i cant get the rear as low as i want, but as low as i want is lower than 95% of most mk3 owners would want their cars to sit anyways...

I think the megans are second best option to the Tien RAs
The Tien RAs are about the same stiffness and identical to the megans except the Tien RAs are better for handling and dailey driving the Tien RAs have helper springs on them so you dont bottom your car out on dirt roads even when really low and you dont feel the small bumps as bad.

Also you can rebuild the Tien RAs i have the superstreet artical from 3-4yrs back that tells you how to rebuild them adjust them even more and do it all yourself.

i have never bottomed out my megens even when driving them through lame road construction in North west calgary. calgary seems to excell in cterrible civil engenerring.

from what i have driven on, megans are a good buy for the cash you put into em.

I received my Megan coilovers, and they look to be very high quality. Time will tell. Mr. Leany Shifter, what size rims do you have?
