I dont know why people would go for the megan kit, even on ebay it costs around 900$ shipped, when for couple bucks more you can go teins basics.

Not saying that its a bad deal, you are saving a bunch when buying from brady - if your planning on getting megan coils.

I hear that... but why go Tein basics when you can get tein super racing coils for a few $ more? Or even Motons?

I never had them on my car so I can't tell you either way. I have heard positive and negative view points on these coilovers. The reasons why I was considering these is that first: they are mono tube, second: fully adjustable, third: obviously the price.

My decision to move onto the $4,000+ range coil overs is because I'm a little wacky.

Anyway I'm sure these would be fine if you're looking to do a few track days and have adjustability with ride height and dampening.

Cheers.

Yes I did indeed. I was going to get Ed to install them but decided on another set of coil overs strictly for track purpose.

True but you don't get the adjustability. And at $600 these are super cheap.

Yeah see I was either thinking about for with these, or Function and Forms. I know Functions are extremely reputable with Hondas....Or my buddys that run track hondas love the Functions...and they are reasonable price for the Z

That is a GREAT price.

If they don't sell this week I'll get them installed and use them till something better comes along. Once they are on I'll run them for the season.

Someone in Florida is using them for a year and has nothing but good things to say. From a PM I received: "...I have used the megan coil overs for about 1 year. On the street they work fine with the same response on dampening as my old koni setup. Slamed they work great. On the track they are super, adjust them appropriately and you'll be competitive enough to beat the "better" coil systems out there..."

Again, I have never used these yet but am very tempted. Saves me a boat load of money too!!

Yes, I am changing coilovers but will it be for the better?????

Plenty of people "think" Tein/Moton/KW are better but where is the proof?

If I don't sell these by 4pm today I will get them installed and do a review myself. F it.
