Megan Racing Coilovers
Anyone ever heard of the reputation or used the Megan Racing coil over brand?

Like most inexpensive coilovers, they are underdampned to a fault. They should not be run at any setting lower then 6 clicks from full stiff and even then they still have bahavioral issues related to insuffecient rebound control. I improved on the whole issue by buying softer 448lbs front springs, then and only then did I feel comfortable about passing them on to someone else. Otherwise they'd still be in my garage. Out of the box, they are a poor choice.

So, my objectives are to stop the bouncing (increase ride quality/comfort), prevent the tire feathering from occuring and lower the car a little.

Point is, not everyone here should review suspension's, not everyone know's what bad behavior is or is uncorrupted to tell the truth because maybe they are paying off a dept to a vendor or want to protect their resale value should they choose to resell that new suspension. The Megan setup will give you some of the same behavioral issues you want to avoid, because the setup is underdampned, only differance is the way it misbehaves, a different flavor of the same dish. Equip the setup with softer front springs and then it will be a different story.
