Its probably better to stick with " Suspension Company's " for suspension you don't have to break the bank to get a good setup.
My ground-control / AGX setup was under $800 and performs great.
Stick with companies that support the industry and setups that are tried and true.

Sorry for the delayed response, but I wanted to be clear...
Your AGX/GC setup is a fine setup. I can't imagine though that you are running spring rates anywhere near what road course racers are. With some 300ish springs, the AGX/GC setup is perfect for the street, but not near enough for a full out purpose built race application.
Until my Megans die, I will continue to use them, if nothing more than to show that a budget setup can be reasonably fast.
At my last event, with my "0 engineering" Megan coilovers, I was 1 second behind the next fastest B13, and .5 faster than the next closest B13 and I am doing that with a unmodified junkyard motor weighing several hundred lbs more than the other B13's and they are running S4's, and have several more years of racing experience than I.
Poo poo Megan's all you want, but if a second year road racer, with an under prepared, too heavy car can get that close to the front running cars, then I say they aren't all that bad...
While I can't comment on how well they will hold up in the street (personally I wouldn't put them on a street car, they are WAY too stiff), this is thread asks about RR setups, and for that, they work reasonably well.
If I could find someone who makes 8611 front strut housings for a B14, I would likely get some GC's, and 8611's and have at it, but it seems there is no market for the B14 version, so for now, I am stuck with my crappy, but fast megans....
