Default Coilovers!

Alright guys, its a hard decision between the Megan Racing coilovers, and the BC coilovers. ill post some links to both, and you guys give me your opinions on both! i want the good, the bad and the ugly. I want to make sure i go down the right path with this. im new to the suspension game so any help/advice is appreciated!!!!

BC Coilovers: Flushstance – It's only worth doing if done right! - Buy BC Racing Coilovers $995.00 w/FREE SHIPPING!

Megan Racing: Coilovers: Kia Forte Megan Racing Coilovers [KIA Forte Megan Coilovers] - $869.00 : Road Race Motorsports, Mitsubishi Suzuki Fiat Hyundia Performance Parts

BC Coils- total would come out to $995 with free shipping.

Megan Coils- coils are $869 + $106.08 for shipping = $975.08

these to brands only have a $19.92 difference, so the prices are competitive.




PS. If anyone wants to suggest any other brands, im all ears!

Fas just went with Stance GR coilovers, but they retail at $1395....kinda steep compared to the brands you've mentioned...maybe the quality is considerably better...don't know. I'm thinking about going with the BC setup myself...would just like to hear some more reviews on them first.

The Lancer crowd loves BC coilovers, a lot of Ralliart guys have them and don't have any issues. I personally have helped with a Megan install and set up and there is a lot you can dial in on the Megan coilovers. I still meet up with the Suzuki SX4 guys that run Megan coilovers and they have been really happy with them. So I say win win, find the lowest price shipped to you and don't worry too much about the brand.

There was some website (can't remember) that did a project forte and I'm pretty sure they used the HSD ones.

I am happy with stance's coils. I need some wider wheels and some sideskirts and I am set! The jump from springs to stance's coils is just amazing. I'd ride on coils over springs any day.
