Megan Racing coilovers

Well KW's are pretty awesome, no way around that too be honest. They hold up pretty rad.

Yep. I've heard a lot of positive feedbacks upon Kws and Weitec. Hope "ap" won't be much worse.

That's why I took "ap" for my car. www.ap-suspension.com is a daugter brand of KW with great TUV approved quality as is written in all reviews. I'll make a write-up ad doon as I get them and have any conclusion.

I guess what I am trying to say is, why spend 1200+ on a name when you can rock something affordable and not really tell a difference. Not bashing anyone just putting my opinion out there.

Ok, I really **** getting into this debate because I think each individual will always have their own views on each product, especially something like coilovers. You guys have to realize that now both K-Sport and Megans have been in the market for a while and the supplier has gotten better at making these.

I'll take K-Sport for example, yes back when I can remember and I was rocking Tien Super Drifts on my S13 I ***** K-Sports and I would always read about them having problems and seizing up and blowing in the first 6 months. Now days I sell K-Sport and have many friends that participate in motorsport and notice NO difference between them and other brands I carry that so many people like. There is no difference IMO with these and others. I cant talk first hand for Megan but do still see people using them and price is great. I think some of the difference with some of these now days are the actual spring being used in which yea sometimes you can notice depending on rates or what not.

K-Sport, XYZ & D2 are the same thing afaik; never heard of NEX but it wouldn't surprise me.

NEX are already closed I guess XYZ is their new brand.

do you mean the helper spring? Never heard of something called a preload spring. I think that term gets tossed around incorrectly a lot.

Yep. I meant helper spring. My technical English leaves much to be desired

It is hard to believe but still it is truth! I've contacted BC and they said they could make a custom kit with 3" lowering in the front. Still thinking what to do with ther rear though.

Or simply go with some Weitecs/KWs with removed collar and preload spring.

this guy speaks the truth... stickers are what seperates the two

So BC Racing is the same as Megan is?! It's a revelation! I've being told thousand times that Megan has nothing to do with BCs. It shows how evil the MARKETING can be Color scheme and Name make miracles with products

Now I guess K-Sport, NEX, D2 and others are also the same as showed above?


BTW as for European brands: KW, Weitec and ST are also same products (Kw is a parental company). But their range differs. Weitec (Euro market) & ST (US market) don't produce top of the line products, while KW does. But entry KW models are priced almost the same as other brands coilovers.

BC makes them for Megan.... BCEC is the man corp in Taiwan who makes most coilovers.

Get the Megans

I have them and love them.

Oh right, the Mazda 3 doesn't use struts in the rear right? I've only owned cars with struts so the "other" setup stil baffles me hahah

I find it hard to believe BC only provides 1.8", but that's just a gut feeling because that's a strangely low number for a coilover. Aren't BC full tap?

A bit better than Godspeed/K-Sport/D2.... maybe.
BC > Megan

Well, but BCs provide only 1.8" oа lowering fro my car while I need 3".

H&Rs are great but they don't have helper spring to be taken out for additional lowering.

So the only option left is KW V1 or V2. I know that V2 are good enough and provide nice range of lowering with removed helper spring, but they cost a bit more than I'd like to spend. And I know nothing about V1's that are priced perfectly for my demands.
