they are pretty damn good... my friend has it on a civic hatch. you can choose your own spring rates and the quality is top notch. another brand to check out is omni. the owner/tech is the guy who helped skunk2 design and test their coilovers

i checked out omni and it seems to not have any dampner settings. anyway i personally think skunk2 products are garbage thier coilover used eibach springs which was the only good thing about them.

thats why the guy left and started his own company. the dampening is not listed on the site but 32 way? can you really tell difference between 28 and 30? im on tein flex and differences in settings is nominal, only from soft to full stiff do you really notice the difference.

i agree about the settings. unless you have a full track car its not really nessicary. ive just had a bad experiance with skunk 2 so im going to stay away from their affiliates too. i need to see some good gains in performance cornering ect... most ppl that buy ther suspension is just because its cheap and they get a full coilover.

Do you know if these Megan units use linear or digressive valving? Or would you be able to find out?

ive been looking into coilovers for a while. i originally wanted tein basics but i havent heared to many good things about them. then i saw these and the omni coils. my cars a daily driver, very rarely brought to the track or autocrossed, so i need a coilover kit thats cheap and will last. would the people who have the MR coilovers suggest these or should i go with omni's coilovers, or tein basic.

Omni does not come with upper mounts and it is not damping adjustable. Price for both is about the same. So go figure....

The Omni is not adjustable, does not come with pillowball mounts, not even the front. Only stock camber adjustment.

If the Megan's pricing is similar to the Omni's, I would go for the Megan Racing coilovers. If the springrates are going to be abit higher then stock, then there is no real reason to exclude rigid mounts (pillowball). And the camber-adjustability / damper adjustability does not hurt at all, for the same price.

If you do go for the Megan brand, do yourself a favor and grease up the pillowballs liberally, a lot of people do not realize how "dry" some of the pillowballs come, and they may sieze up or wear quickly, causing "clunks" that can't be fixed unless you buy new pillowballs.

No clunking, or strange noises either.

I also have a MR exhaust and the quality on it is very high as well.

If anyone has any questions I can give more detalied answers
How are your coilovers holding up?
