Teins are obviously proven, but could be a little expensive to some people. You could always buy used ones for cheap cheap, then spend the money on sending them to get rebuilt.
My friend has Silkroads on his 240, and it rides nice and handles well. Definate good bang for the buck.

Well when you start going up in price you do get diminishing returns, but I think that $1600 coilovers are a better investment than $800 ones, for me anyway. I'd probably never be happy cheaping out on the suspension and I'd just replace them later on with something decent, and I'd be out more money in the end. You get what you pay for, if you buy cheap coilovers then don't expect them to last as long, have as good damping, or have as good customer service as the higher priced brand name stuff. I HIGHLY doubt if any of the cheap ones offer services such as revalving shocks, they probably just replace cartriges and would be unable to alter the damping on them.
I'll get something that's proven to work, proven to last, and proven to have good service available with revalving as an option. If it costs me twice as much, so be it, you gotta pay to play.

a bunch of guys on the 3000GT/Stealth boards had a group buy on K-Sports and after some redesigning by k-sport (in conjunction with a few of the members) everybody was very happy with the results.

i was told that if you take the lower sleeve off of the megans that you can still see the N1 logo on the bottom......it doesnt matter to me cause ive seen what the look like and seen how low and stiff they are.....
my friend has had them on his 240 for about 2 years now....
