Megan racing full coilovers/ Tein ss

Hey guys,
Does anyone know anything about the Megan Racing full coilover setup?
Im going to buy a suspension soon and I was looking at tein ss and megans with a good drop but I want something smooth not too stiff and bouncy like my kyb agx's/skunk2's combo, this crap is giving me back problems.

You should stick with the TEIN SS if you want something to maintain ride comfort and be good for a daily driver setup. The Megan's are firmer.

PM me if you need any pricing.

dude......i thought it was just me. But i had back problems for years and i was on kyb agx with well read the signature.

I raised my car but still had the back problems. I think the seat needs to be redone.

The megans are about 850 and the tein ss are about 1150 w/o pillow ball mounts. I just want something similar to stock but pretty freakin low without spending too much.

i don't think you'll be happy with any suspension you put in the car. the lower you go, the stiffer its going to be regardless of which brand or what shocks you use. with the car that low, the shocks only have so much movement to actually absorb any impact.

i've rode in all types of cars with all types of suspensions, b&g full coils, tein ss, ground controls, h&r with koni yellows.. and they all feel the same to me, very marginal ride differences. may drive a lot differently, but the ride will always be shitty. i have kyb agx's with neuspeeds.. i have to say my car feels like a go cart too, everytime i hit something little it sounds like my car is going to explode.. 18's with 40 profile tires make it even stiffer. i can't imagine using 35 series. it sounds and feels just as bad in my boy's 911 on stock suspension. the ride sucks in that car too.

werd werd and werd. your really not going to be able to get that amount of lowering and keep ride quality. id really suggest sacrificing some drop if you want it to ride nice. or just tough it out, youll have your back hurt, but youll be lookin good doing it.

other option is independant seat suspension like bus drivers hahaha
