Default Can't make up my mind =(

I'm stuck between getting the Megan Racing Track coilovers or the Tein Flex. Megan coilovers are made by the same company that makes the apexi coilovers so their products are very good quality. Tein has been around for a while and obviously makes good stuff. Theres about $400 difference between the two, do you guys think it's justified or would I be just paying for the brand name?

I don't have personal experience but I've seen many posts about the Tein Flex in a "love it or hate it" context. The ride quality is too bouncy for some I believe.

If I were choosing between those two I'd go for the Megan's.

I would go with the Tein's. Most seem to like them, and I have never really heard/read anything bad about them.
