KW in my opinion is the best,,, had one but gotta sold it, but i would say megan track series is better than apex, buddy club, or even tein flex, the megan track series wont win you every race but it can hold its own in comparison with some lower end/priced coilover in the market, but if u really want top notch performance go with kw v3 coz u cant go wrong.also corner weight balancing is the key to maximize benefit of coilover.

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.
nope, its 12kg on all fours, the valving is different...

A lot of guys from the toyota community I used to be a part of were running D2's a couple years back. Most of them had failures related to the seals in the shock going bad. I don't know if D2 still has problems with this, but I personally would stay away from them.

i like my tein mono flex. they ride great and can be slammed too. mugan and bc are also both really good choice for the price that you pay. some local guys here have them and love them. its up to you on what you like.
