Tien vs Megan coilovers....... Megan for me

After much debate and reading I finally decided to go with Megan coilovers for my 06 tl ..... I have alot of friends who said go with tEin but the thing that got me was the top hats that already come with the Megan coilovers so changing stock suspension to the megans should be a one two three thing .... Only prob is I need a good price for the Megan coilovers ...... Any sites you recommed ??

ill take megan over the tein basic any day of the week

ride quality ill hand it to tiens, but dropness quality ill hand it to Megan =]

if some can wait supposedly marcus is going to release a ucc coilover kit which get the same drop as megan but have the confort of the tiens ss which will be capable with the edfc.

i cant wait for the ucc kit, i am torn between these two set ups, i like the range of adjustibility of the megans, but the teins seem to be a better more reliable product, with a bigger name in the suspension world.
i keep hearing conflicting maximum drop ammounts, could someone make a list of each coilover's specs or mabie a pro and con list for each would help aswell

I am doing research now and honestly its tough. I like the edfc and tein's reputation says a lot but a the same time the megans seem like a better product as they come with pillowball mounts, are less expensive, much more adjustable, and you can adjust ride height and corner weight your car with them.

I've had both, on different cars, but my vote goes to TEIN.

You can supposedly slam the car more with the Megans but I'm already tucking tire with 1/2 " threads to go on my SS and I don't think I would ever even consider going lower than that.
