Whoa! bub! Just cuz they are inexpensive doesn't mean they are cheaply made. I have a set of the BC BR-types an I love mine. I dog the hell out of my car on the back roads an Auto-x an they feel as good as the day I put them on.

Not to break your heart, but your beloved Apex-i coilovers are made in the same factory as both of the Megan Series Coilovers so...... We all know how well Megan stuff holds up.

Here is the main reasons I picked BC coilovers,
1.) they are compared an ranked along the same lines as the Tein, BuddyClubs, an Apex-i N1's
2.) BC are rebuildible unlike alot of the others
3.) BC offers an awsome warranty that lets say your car gets hit or damaged in a way that one of your coilovers gets damaged and needs to be replaced, instead of buying a full new set of coilovers, BC I believe will only charge you $95 and send you a replacement Coilover w/o a core request. Anyone else is going to make you spend another $1000 atleast to replace all of them.

My 2cents.......

i would go with the bc's. mainly because they the same standard as tein's, just tein's have a better reputation and well known name. unless your looking at serious suspension set ups such as moton's i wouldnt worry.

Mono Flex is nothing like the Flex, for one is mono tube and other is twin tube. The response and performance from Mono flex is superb.. we've setup tons of s2000 for daily / light track duty and we've received excellent feedbacks.

We do have Mono Flex on sale right now for 1599 shipped. Offer is good until end of the week.
