I went cheap on my car at first, Megan front camber arms, 3 years and 60k+ miles on them with plenty of track abuse and still going strong, cheap *** BC Coilovers, i will probably never buy cheap coilovers again, cheap *** Wilwood BBK (cheap compaired to Brembo, StopTech) and still love the perfomance they give me.

Problem is that the cheap crap out there varies widely from lot to lot.. Heat treating and lots of other factors directly affect the quality and the consistancy of a spring.. Not saying it never works out, just that it's a total crapshoot..

Well "homie" I guess well find out a month from now. As for camber problems. I'm not 100% sure but I hear they make these cool new things called camber kits!! As for the shocks yeah they are going to blow that's expected and boo hoo I'll now have to pork over $100 for new shocks.

Actually if I'm not mistaken Megan racing started as an eBay cheap brand and there stuff is pretty good.
All aftermarket spring will destroy the stock shocks, nothing on a spring to make noise unless the spring actually breaks, camber wear will happen on any car that has been lowered dependent on alignment. Cheap people? Nothing wrong with being cheap in the right ways. This may work out great, we don't know if an how much they will sag over time, we have no idea what the spring rate is (probably never will either)
I went cheap on my car at first, Megan front camber arms, 3 years and 60k+ miles on them with plenty of track abuse and still going strong, cheap *** BC Coilovers, i will probably never buy cheap coilovers again, cheap *** Wilwood BBK (cheap compaired to Brembo, StopTech) and still love the perfomance they give me.

So I installed my ebay special springs today. So I ordered a brand called M2 performance. From my understanding they are a company that branched off from megan racing. I picked these springs up for $99.99 shipped. It took about 2 weeks for them to arrive because they were on back order. Once I received them I compared them to my stock springs and my h-techs. The M2 were a s**t ton heavier then the h-techs and the stock springs. The M2 were the same length as the stock springs, but the M2 have a few more coils. My h-techs were about 3/4 in longer then both the M2 and the stock springs. I also installed my uncut spring bushings. About 15 min I noticed an immediate difference in ride height. I took my car out for a spin and I noticed that my car rode just slightly stiffer then stock. It was hardly noticeable. I also realized that these springs don't have that "new spring bounce" like the s-techs. I can't really tell if the handling has improved yet mainly because of my alignment and 50 mph crosswinds. So over all I'm pretty happy with them I'll update this later after 10k miles after they have completely settled in.

Untill you hit the track and compair lap time between the two sets of springs you will never know what handles better. Potentially you can find out what spring rates are matched better to the dampening rates of the shocks yoru running, thats really it.
