What are your goals? if you want to lower the car on the cheap, get PSS9s. They are fantastic.
im not quite sure theyre worse then stock. ive read of several members tracking their megans with positive results. theyre not kw, ohlins or any other "premium" coilover, but they seem to be doing the job for people on a budget.

with that said, id definately recommend the kv v3's if you have the funds, hell id even tell you to wait and save if you dont. however, i dont think the megans are necessarily a bad choice.

In my experience, there is one area where you shouldn't skimp. It's the where the money is best spent. The KW Variant 3 is in a different league compared to the other dampers listed. We have these in stock if you are interested.

i have definatly heard that many people track the megans and get good results. like said above their not as good as a premium coilover but for the money their great. i will be purchasing the megan tracks sometime soon. i dont track my car and am just going to use it for slamming it, as you can see in my sig i need it!! lol

juts fyi the only difference betweent the megan track and teh megan streets is the tracks have a 14lb spring in the rear and a 12lb in the front where the streets have 12lb all the way around. not too big a difference.

if you are going to slam the car, just go with whatever that is adjustable with the lower cup part (whatever is called)..KW v3 is not in this case, not made for slamming cars.. I am at the lowest recommended setting and its about 1 or half finger gap...

Tein flex would be a good choice and also megan track or buddy club racing spec... look for something with higher spring rate since you are just going for looks and handles ok?
