The megans just never seemed in step with the chassis. I got the chance to drive both cars back to back at a test-n-tune and I absolutely smoked the S13 (with an RB20) with the teg, even with my limited knowledge of FWD dynamics. I am in no way a great driver, but those are my impressions.

I know that stances =/= megans, but really how different can they be for about the same price? I wouldn't expect any miracles.
Be careful with comparos with S13's...
After working on one, that has got to be one of the most ghastly and cheap suspensions I've ever seen under a "sporty"vehicle.
Geometry suspension is all wrong, and I'm not surprised it still handled like a pig.

The Integra, OTOH, has some of Honda's most refined suspension designs.
Double wishbone...yum.
It also has decent brakes on it...tons better than the S13, stock for stock.

I've attached the rest of that series and a few other representative samples. I've got a whole folder full of them and can post them all up if people want them. I got them off of the Miata.net forum where one of the members had some dynoed along with some Koni Yellows.
Those look really good. Certainly not "total crap." The ones that compare the Konis are really good too. Great data. We need more stuff like that on this board.

I plan on going the Stance route and I plan on getting them dyno'ed.

Fact > ALL

One test is worth more than a gazillion n00bs opinions

Here's a dyno of some Stance coilovers that I saved from somewhere.

All those previous dynos were of Tein Flex from a Miata, only the first three were revalved, the next 3 were stock.

Yea, they're not bad, not great, but for the price...

I'd still worry a little about long term durability, but they've been around a few years now, and I've not been hearing horror stories of them dying left right and center, so they're probably fine in that department too.

Here's one (the only one I've got) comparing a Tein Flex to a JIC FLT-A2.
