Megan coilovers on FD??

Hey I was wondering if any of you guys have had any good experience with these? I have read lots of good things about them on other cars (STi's, hondas, etc...) but nothing on the FD. They sound like a great setup with lots of adjustablity and a very reasonable price.

um... they are good budget coilovers... key word being budget.

imo, if you can afford a FD, you can afford >$900 coilovers. you get what you pay for.

Do you know or just think? Granted I will probably go with a more reputable brand, I would like to save money if the quality has been tested and is on par with other brands.

i know.

however, they certainly won't blow on you in a week if you buy them. they are definitely 'reputable' in that sense, if that's what you are worried about.

don't get me wrong. for $900, they can't be beat.

That is what I was wondering. I do know that as far as coilovers go for the most part, you get what you pay for. But as I said I had heard nothing bad about them from anyone else that has run them. I dont track my FD on a regular basis so I was wondering what a set of these may hold for my uses. Even that being the case, does anyone have better suggestions? Tein SS, Flex or super drift? Apexi EXV? Greddy Type S?

Apexi are also 12/12kg. That's an absolutely insane spring rates for US roads! You will end up selling them at a loss. You should have bought Buddy Clubs from Rotary Extreme when they had the special for $850 and they had 10/8kg spring rates.
