Need opinion on these coilovers * EBAY*

I found these snooping around on ebay. I am trying to keep my budget low, but not sacrifice good quality. I am looking to autocross the car next year. Please feel free to offer opinions.

They'll be total crap, save up for something good. I can almost guarantee you that anything under $1000 will be total crap, and anything in the $1000-$1500 range can be really hit and miss, with some decent stuff and some crappy stuff.

You gotta pay to play.

If you are on a budget, check out Tokico's new package:

Yes, it's not coilovers, but it will give new life to your suspension. Then when you are ready, you can upgrade to Ground Control Coilovers and continue to use the dampers. These are their new dampers, not the older Illumina line.

I wouldn't say Megan Racing is "trusted".

As a matter of interest what are the Megan Racing coilovers like? Im in kinda the same situation as Supraturbo and im sure the Megans will suit my needs just curious about the build/performance quality of them.

Thanks in advance

Compare a Megan to a Tein and I'll almost gurantee you that the Megan won't last as long and won't perform as well.
