look what i noticed aboutm megan coilovers.
i was looking at coilovers on ebay, and came across this....
the first link is the megan racing, 875$ buy it now...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW
the second link is the apex'i n1, 1220. buy it now.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW
notice the dampening adjustments are all identical, and pretty much the only noticeable difference is the lower mount color.
i know megan doesnt make thier own coilovers, but it appears neither does apex'i, and that whoever makes these, makes them for both companies.
makes me alot more apt to buy the megans, i just dont want to be the first.

I wrote a review. I can copy-paste it from Zilvia.net over here - but I have the first set of Megan Racing coilovers on my S14.
The makers of Megan Racing coilovers are: http://www.bcec.com.tw/function/function_05.html
The VH' Design are what is listed with the paperwork included with the Megan coilovers - and you can tell by the pics they're the same.
They make coilovers for alot of companies.. and have been around for a while. There's a good thread on FreshAlloy about it - and has a link to some Aussie forum with bcec coilover reviews.

i compared the two in person.
definitely very similar - if not identical shocks! Lower mounts are identical, upper mounts are identical - it all is !
Makes me glad we're sponsored by megan now
PS I've been running them on my drift car and have been VERY happy with the results.

Now I have time to read the post.. same 44mm diameter piston, same spring rates, same 32-way dampening... too many similarities.
Megan Racing - before getting the coilovers - I'd always lumped them with SSA. Look at their SR manifold for why. But.. the coilovers rock.

^^That thread on Zilvia about them is pretty good... I might have to get me a set soon... they seem to be able to hold their own while being extremely affordable - for a fully adjustable coilover set.

Then it's people who have no experience with them moaning about how people shouldn't buy cheap things (when these clearly aren't cheap.. even Matt.. crazy drifter guy... is comparing them to Apex'i N1, almost 2x the price). And that guy from Underground trying to sell them.
