Not to mention rebuildable in the US, and the build quality is excellent!

I just got my set of BC's installed yesterday... still breaking them in, but they feel excellent!

The whole time I meant Tein basic coilovers... I found them for $700 shipped or the Megan EZ for $650. Does any one have these installed?

Pretty sure Megan are made in chinese sweatshops, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'd say Tein is the safer bet.

I have Megan EZs on my SC300 and love them
So much that i also bought them for my RX7.

They look exactly the same as Apexi's
and Goodlfellas........... they are not made in a Chinese Sweatshop, that's a common sterotype.

They are actually made in a Taiwan Sweatshop.

When it comes to light track performance/auto-X, I think the Megan coils might serve you better. I've never heard of anyone using Tein SS' for any kind of performance duty, but the Megans work fine for most people in auto-X conditions. Well, for S13's and Z32's anyway, but I don't imagine it would be much different.

I'd never buy any Megan products for any of my cars. My advice would be to save up a few hundred dollars and buy better coilovers. I'm sure you can find some lightly used HKS, Cusco, and Mazda Speed coilovers for under $1000.
