Default megan racing coilovers

Now before everyone jumps down my throat about budget coilovers, I know that Megan racing is considered to be a cheap brand... however, that being said from what I've read they simply sell rebranded coilovers that they don't manufacture (much like many other companies). Plus I've read several threads on Silvia.net and NICO where there has been nothing but positive experiences and reviews concerning Megan Racing Coilovers.

they are currently selling for 899 shipped from Option Imports

What I'm wondering if anyone has any actual experience with these coilovers that can give me feedback for the Z. I don't drive much everyday - mostly I use the car for trips up to NY, HPDE events, and the occasional autoX. I'd like to get coilovers just so I can keep it at (or near) stock ride height. Any feedback would be appreciated.

These are fairly new to the Z market, so it may be hard to get a previous experience review.

for the street they probably are the best bang for the $$$, Just make sure they stay properly maintained

for the track I wouldn't use them if they where given to me for free

Why? I'll prob get another 2 HPDE's in this fall... then a couple more this spring. while i'm no track junkie I'd like to increase the handling on the track while keeping the stock height (roads and driveways around here aren't the best) for around town driving. HOwever, being a lowly law student I don't have the 1500-2 grand to spend on a nicer set.

for those who are concerning about these coilovers, do a search on google, or go to some of the forums like

www.s2ki.com
www.zilvia.net
www.freshalloy.com

these 3 are mainly where s2000 and s13/s14 people go, there are tons of reviews on these coilovers.

nothing else comes close to megan at $900, with 1 year warranty means anything goes bad they will replace it free of charge.

the more I read about these on other forums the more intrigued I get. I'm still on the fence but I'm seriously considering getting a set of these. I'm heading out to the track again in november and have 2 autoX's coming up, so if I choose to get a set I should be able to provide a detailed review including racing impressions. Additionally there are a multitude of modded Z's in my area so I should be able to provide comparisons as to road feel. Ah, what to do... what to do?
