Anybody know anything about these? Are they good for a street car?

They don't seem to have ruber bushings though . . . will it make the car handle weird because the rest of the suspension does? Will they make noise?

Hmmm, I don't mind supporting the s2ki marketplace, but if these work, I might go with them.....$190 > $480

I know atleast 2 people that are running the megan full coilover setup and love it, so they are atleast a decent company. I used to have one of there headers on my old 91 integra. Never had a problem with it, No huge gains I'm sure, but looked good and never cracked while I had it.

There should be no problem using these on the street, but of course you won't really get anything out of them for street use. But if you've got some money to burn, or want some pretty nice looking pieces then I doubt they'd give you any trouble.

Well...they appear to do the exact same thing. Might want to get an opinion in the Racing Forum about these though.

Again the primarly difference is that they look like they use a pillow ball rather than a bushing. So they will transmit a lot more vibration to the body compared to the street GFL BSK. Should be comperable vibration to the track GFL BSK.

What make the BSK a BSK is the extension of the hight of the "ball-joint" so, the arm sits in a lower plane than stock. By doing that, they make the toe link follow the LCA more closely so, the changes in toe during suspension cycling is less.

It does look like the Megan has the same extended "ball-joint" type thing.
