Default Megan Racing springs vs Tanabe GF210 springs?

My car is finally ready for for a drop. I already have a Kinetix front and rear camber kit ready and I can't decide on the springs. I'm not going with coilovers at this time because I'm dropping for looks only and I've had bad experiences with cheap coilovers.


Megan drops the most (1.25 front and rear) and I'm not sure about Tanabe because their drop says 1.0 front and 1.2 rear. Will the rear be lower than the front? I want it even or maybe have the front be a bit lower.

I want to go with the Megan springs but i've just never heard anything about them.


If anyone has any experience with either brand springs, please let me know and post a pic if you have one.


I'd love to go with Tein springs but they just don't drop as low as I want so I'm not buying them.

Thanks for your help.

oh wow I never thought to look at those. the drop looks pretty good.

any idea how long stock shocks would last? If I get shocks too, it's the same price as cheap coilovers so then I might as well do that to have adjustability.

About 60k miles with stock springs , less than 10k with aftermarket springs.


A set of drop springs with Tokico D specs or Koni shocks will be far superiour than some cheap crap coilovers.

^^he knows what he's talking about. Either do it right with springs and shocks, or get decent coils. But if budget is the issue and you want adjustability, then get cheap coils
