Im on megan tracks now. 32 way adjustable can go very stiff or soft im in the middle at 20 fr and 18 rear couldnt be happier for the price. I dont know how stiff or how soft they go but at 12 fr and rr they were very stiff so ill assume at lets say 25-30 they could be soft. Hope that helps

haha yea both of those are out of my price range. One day (probably a few years from now) I plan on turning my car into a track beast. But for now she is my DD and this is mainly for looks and spirited driving. Having them not disintegrate during an autox is definitely a plus. So i'm looking for under $1k give or take I'm a little flexible but not much. BC's seem to be the way to go right now for the application I want them for.

And it's the reviews like this that keep making me want to go with the megans because you just can't beat the price on those things.

No one (that has owned them) has said anything bad about them.

No experience w/ Megans but very happy with the Buddy Club RS.

Not a fan of the name per se though...

Frankly, they are both probably built in the same factory in Taiwan somewhere. So I doubt there is much difference in quality, just different springs and damping characteristics.

You mean you don't like being part of the "Buddy Club" Jeff?

I fly the Buddy Club RS flag too (can't find the rainbow flag emotion though). Had mine for about 20k miles (bought them after I rode in Junky' a car) and love them! Great for street and track use.

Cheap coilovers are worse than stock, it might be good to throw on some lowering springs and save up for KW V3 if you are at all concerned about damper performance.
