I'm in the same boat too. Still trying to make a decision on what coilovers to go with. Right now Tein ss is last on my list due to many reviews I've read. One of many sites reviewing is http://my.is/forums/f89/tein-ss-review-300413/

just put my megans on and for the price $810 couldnt be happier... ive got mine set stiffer 20 front and 23 rear because i havent rolled the rear fenders so i didnt want rubbing and i dont mind the stiffer feling on these settings... also megans are easier on the instal they come with new top hats already as with the Tein you have to purchase new top hats or remove them from your stock suspension and reuse

What is the range of drop with those Megans? Like min and max? And what is the setting ? 11? 22? 14? Is that firmess or height? And is the firmness related to the shock dampening?

any pics? thanks!

range of drop is pretty much stock height to pretty much undriveably low! i have the tops of my tires tucked on my megans and im about half way as far down as they go if i go all the way ill be laying car body on ground.

settings are the dampener they have 32 positions from softest to hardest im driving a bit harder i might soften them up adventually to probably middle settings

I have them on now, my settings are 22F, 24R This is with Hard being 0. It rides 99% like stock,but it is a little but under dampened for small bumps. So i am thinking of making it a little bit stiffer so feel the road more. Overall VERY IMPRESSED.

One thing I don't like about them, is that Megan deletes the lower bushing on the rears. Personally I would get a better brand, I like the model Heel Toe is working on.
