Megan offered to throw a set my way but I decided to keep my HE"s <33333 my HE's I rember when matt 1st got his, and me and frank took it to rally OMG the handling hahaha me and frank were amazed. I figure Im going to stay with the HE's and if I need to change anything Ill just get them redone at tein.

If anything that brought me to tein was the customer serivce.(I was deciding between HE's or Tanabe DDs at the time) If you have ever called tein you know what im talking about they are always very friendly and accomindating on the consumer or wholesale level! They are more than happy to share the information that they have. And I figure next time I need them rebuilt ill get 1-kg front 8kg rear like the super drifts or the DD's

I like my megan streets, little bouncy but no complaints. Great bang for the buck19. A huge step above strut/spring combo, much more refined ride. The car now tracks through turns with no understeer and very predictable oversteer. My DD setting is megans ride hight and full soft rear and 5 clicks out from full soft up front. Im lovin it. very cost effective, even more so when you got them at cost

I have the megan, and they are great for an entry level coilover. a little bouncy on the streets but apart from that no complaints, i had them for at least 6-7 months and they held well, i have street drifted and i was at the last DDay. So far they have been great. I recomended to any person who is low on cash, and wants a better set up than Spring/shocks combo.

Tein HA's here. I was thinking of getting the super drifts when a little more is said and done to the car. I love my teins. Little stiff, then again I have some helper springs on there as well. I mean I feel the paint in the road

Ive been told JICs are prone to leaking. GO with what you can afford/usage will be I say.

Helper springs have nothing to do w/ ride quality.

Regina:
You will not be let down with Silk Roads, end of story.

Megan coilovers have some nice features (double adjustable, pillow ball, camber plates, etc) and would be a huge upgrade from your AGXs. They are only bouncy when you don't have the dampening matched to your rates. It seems that they are the same or similar valved damper across all their applications, which means that, of 32 adjustments, only 6 to 8 of them will fit your application - in other words, only a few of the dampening settings will make for nice handling and little bounce, and the other 20 or so settings will either be too soft or too stiff. This is probably what precipitates the claim "the adjustments are not noticable" since people have them set up completely wrong and are adjusting them in the unusable range. I have Megans on my Legacy and am very pleased with their benefit-to-cost ratio, and when in tune they are quite impressive.

If you want some very well-valved and balanced coilovers with all the features you could want that allow room for growth, SilkRoads would be the way to go (talk to Errrik from deegee about ordering them).

No offense, but FLT-A's, both 1 and 2, may be beyond your skill level.

I would reccomend the SilkRoads to you, with the Megans being a close 2nd.

On a side note - Buddy Club and D Drug coilovers are fucking amazing! ...and Tein HEs were discontinued for a reason...
