id recommend BC coilovers. i went through image it was pretty fast no more then 2 weeks. he gave me a good deal even if were in hawaii. so far i like them, it stiffer then h&r drops on v5 sti struts. on a GC8 but id recommend them

The pricing on the BC's when I asked was pretty reasonable. I was looking for an entry level set-up that was rebuildable. I think that is something Megan isn't. A little more to be rebuildable, but probably better than buying a whole brand new set-up.

^^the megans are not rebuildable iirc but they do sell a whole replacement for something like $100. i have not had problems with my megans (either set) and the megans are made by the same ppl who make the BC so they are pretty much the same in quality and materials. you can get the megans for under 1k shipped on ebay if you look around. you want the best for the $$ the megans are it. otherwise i would say get the stance(sp?) that jon and ty have. about the same $$ as the BC but way better. if your not going to track your car or if you don't drive really agressive i would say just get drop springs. the swift springs are a great choice and springs are far less expensive and harsh as buying coilovers.

Cusco Zero1's...
I've been using these on my daily driver for about 1 1/2 years now...
The ride is firm without the highway bounce, no noise, and I don't pee blood at night...no complaints from the wife or kids...
to me, they work very well...the Zero1's have height adjustment but the damping is preset...on the stiffer side...which I like...
Previously, I use to mess around with my damping too much...now, I just get in and drive...oh dang...yeah, I now mess with my EBC>>>>argh...

Here you go Dave. I'd be a little weary about the ride though. Those spring rates seem a bit harsh for a DD wagon. Nice price though.
