Megan or save some more and buy better ones.
Ksports don't click when you adjust damper.

i have the megans. have held up fine for the 3-4 months i've had them on the car.

They are VERY stiff, but i don't really mind it on the street. I didn't get a chance to get my car to the track @ all this year so i can't comment on how they did there.

my friend has the megans on his 240 for about a year. He drifts and road races and so far they have held up...they are very stiff but its worth it....they go very low if you want that....

I have a friend with a TII that has Megan they are pretty good. They're good and better than most coilovers for the price.

Megan Racing is wrth the money. Personally, I'm an Eibach/KYB fan, but if those are your options, go Megan all the way. Megan Racing is the way to go with turbo exhaust.

you could just save a little more money and get some coilovers that i think are a better choice. two examples:

1) KTS: http://www.splparts.com/Parts/Univer...on/default.htm
2) Stance coilovers: www.stancesus.com

people have run these coilovers on shock dynos and they have better damping characteristics and range than coilovers like the ksport or megan. mind you none of these shock dynos have been for RX-7 specific coilovers, but i'm willing to bet it applies to all of them.
