I like your stance as is so I can only imagine what it'll look like with Megans.

I really like my stance now but the reasons for the Megans' is since I'm going to be getting aggressive or semi-aggressive fitment wheels I want to have all control of the car as far as height, camber, damper, etc. But thank you

I rode in my friends TL and the ride was nice but the reason why I went with Megan is because they go lower than the TEIN, also the megans are cheaper.

Judging from the pictures, Megan's have adjustable lower mounts just like K-Sports and Function & Form?

$899 I'll give you my feedback after they r installed. I did research on all the brands for around $1K...all have goods and bads. I've read all good things about heel and toes coilover on tsx forums so figured I'd give em a try. People say tein is garbage, I've heard megan is garbage...So ill try something different. If eibach will put their name on this product then it must be half way decent.

If you say so, I havent heard anything bad about either one, and I have tried both; I just went with Megan since they go lower.

I'm not looking to go super low, 2" for me and thats max. Like I said I've heard good and bad about everything. I was going to go with the megans, nuttin against them. Everything I've read about the HT's sounds way better to me. to each his own, as long as your happy with what you bought that's all that matters. If I don't like the way they ride I'll rip em out and buy a different set! simple as that.

He's probably saying he's ridden in cars that had either suspension set-ups...

Well, the coilovers have to be off the car to adjust it if it has the lower adjustable mount. It looks like you can twist that collar at the bottom and twist the bottom shock body to adjust height

Yup. Fronts can be adjusted on the car, rears have to be disconnected at the bottom so they can spin.
