I dont doubt that they have nice coilovers. But in the beginning they seemingly did what every other knock off company does, which is wait for another reputable company to put in all the real time, effort, and money to R&D and steal the design once they do. Usually using lesser quality materials and craftsmanship, and ruining the chances of the original company selling as many peices as they wanted, thus hiking up the prices.

IDK it just irritates me.....
true to life isnt it?

show me a megan or obx design that is better than what it was copied from. not trying to get into a real vs. replica debate here, but it's a tough arguement to say megan and obx exceed its copied competition in quality.

that being said, they accomplish their goals well which is to build an adequate product for a decent price.

is the original brand better...most likely. is it worth the extra money for the added quality, benefits, performance, etc.? eh...let the individual make that call.

honestly i could care less about what someone puts on their car....just don't slap on a megan header and call it a J's. that's all.

nobody once said a replica will exceed the original quality. For replica pieces, megan has been excellent as far as quality.

I have a megan header and love it. Got a small gain for a very reasonable price. I dont normally put cheap parts on my cars but no way in hell im spending $800+ for a header to get 5hp.
