Any one ridding on Megan Racing Street LP Coilovers?

Im looking in to getting coilovers for 98 LS400. My brother also have the same car and he is ridding on Tein Cruise masters. The ride on his car is excellent. Just want to compare it to a Megan Racing street LP.

my cousin has them on his 93 Ls, they ride nice, not bouncy at all, comparable to my Insurance coils I had on my Y33, also you can go super low

You can get Megans shipped to your door on ebay for $850 or you can get tien to the door for like $1700......... I don't know about you, but megan's sound like a good deal no matter how you slice it....

I'm planning on going with Megans this time around. I had JIC's on my last LS, and after riding in another LS with Megans, I couldn't justify buying $2300 JIC's over $900 Megans.

Yes there was a difference, but it was mostly because 1) The dampening settings were most likely different between that LS and mine. And 2) Tire size. Bang for the buck Megans kick ass. I wish I would have just Bagged Megans on my last car instead of getting the JIC's.

it rides pretty good for a coil, just make sure you keep the valving stiff if you go LOW otherwise ul bust up your fenders/aero

your 3" tucking. Tom is this your DD? I just bought my megans. tnx for your help by the way. i screwed in the bottoms all the way in on both the front and the rears. The rears seem to drop lower than the fronts. So i had to screw the rear bottoms back out so it would sit right...got my fronts to tuck. but only way i was able to do that was by lowering the top nut in the front
