megan racing coilovers - Honda Prelude Forum

hudsonlude99 · 07-21-2010, 11:21 PM

ok so i've searched the threads for 2 days now and haven't found anything! i'm looking into getting a new suspension on my car, i've looked into the gc and koni yellows and that setup would cost just as much as the megan racing street coilovers. so my "noob" question is has anyone used the megan coilovers and if so are they better? i'm going to get one of the two and would appreciate any feedback.

Megan is a decent company. I am also in the market for a new suspension and I am constantly going back and forth tryong to decide between spring/strut or full coilovers. And I have found that the best entry level, inexpensive coilovers are the Function and Form Type ones. They can be found cheapest here, weksos industries

pretty much unless you are going to spend more than $2000, the ground control + koni's will not be beat.

well i'm planning on going all out with a fully adjustable suspension and the shock/strut or full coilovers are the first step.

I don't understand what you mean by going "all out" because obviously you aren't.

You may think you're buying the best but honestly, and it's a harsh reality, you aren't. Even what I think are super nice shocks are still way beyond my price range. Just look at motons.

That being said, a reworked Koni shock or specific koni race shock will outperform any jdm full coilover or the imations.

If that's your budget that's your budget, just know a decent set of used koni's are somewhat easy to come by and just get some knock coilover sleeves and you will have one of the better bang for the buck choices.

This is what made my mind up on what to choose it is from Artifex(moderator)Autocross to Win (DGs Autocross Secrets) - Shocks , Dont just glance at it read the whole thing and if you still want that bling bling crap over quality and sweet warranty from koni then i just dont know what to say.

and ground control with koni yellow is fully adjustable also if you searched for 2 days and found nothing you didnt search. I was reading posts for 6 months learning more than i ever wanted about suspensions and i probably still dont know crap, the one thing i did learn is that all the shiny stuff i thought was cool is sh$t!
