Megan Racing Coilover

I searched under "coilovers", thread titles only, main forums, no information.

Plenty of threads on Megan, none on their coilovers.


The coilovers are indeed listed on their website.

This post brought them to my attention.

Here is a direct link to the B14 coilovers:

I am not nearly suspension-savvy enough to determine if these are worth a damn or not.

Any input from you folks that really know what the hell you're talking about?

Does anybody own a set? What information would we (someone smart) need to evaluate them from a "paper" standpoint? The length of the struts themselves, a graph of the damping characteristics? I wonder if they would release the necessary information?

Ie....I will call them and pester them, but I don't really know exactly what information I would need to procure for a proper assessment.

They sure as hell are NOT making these coilover systems. No company on earth develops (produces in-house) 1,000 "new" products in five (5) years. That is nearly twenty (20) new products a damn month.

Their lowering springs for our cars suck sweaty, hairy, funky, ass-crack.

Started manufacturing? Or started re-branding some sh*t imported from overseas?

Why am I *guessing* these are D2's or K-sports under yet another different "brand name"?

Yes, I am highly skeptical.

Input from suspension-savvy folks would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
