I'm getting the megan racing setup because I've heard that they are very good. They have height and damping adjustment but the G does not allow for camber adjustment. You'll need probably need to buy camber arms if you want to lower your car. As far as the tein basics, a lot of people have them and are very happy. However, they don't allow for damping adjustment, only height. Mine should be arriving on tuesday and it will be at least a week before I have a chance to get them on my car. I'll let you know how they are.

I'm going with a full Megan suspension setup as well. I just purchased the coilovers last week and will be buying the rest next month probably.

They deliver ride comfort to the unsuspecting by having poor dampning control. What is one man's "they ride better then stock" is my I'm pulling them off and selling them, but not before I bought softer front springs, which made them better, but still not worth keeping.

In other words, like most cheap coilovers they are underdampned and oversprung. You have a good car, you deserve better.

You'll find lot's of Basic owners will chime in on posts where owners say they are searching for comfort based coilover products. But, I've seen too many threads over time where owners here and on my350Z give out hinds that they might not really offer the best overall control.

My advice would be to fatten up your suspension budget and get a quality product that deliver's good quality construction and valving internals. For comfort, these come to mind, in order.

Tein CS
Bilstein Pss9
Kw Variant 1 (Eibach pro-s coilover is the EXACT same thing and usually less $)

I love my Tein CS (with EDF), even used. Not cheap but well worth it.

megan coilovers are crap, complete crap. look for some BC coilovers or the stance ones (thmotorsports has them cheap). I'm not a fan of Teins either. They always ride super soft and I can never get them adjusted the way I want them

basics are junk. Have you ever used them or ridden in a car that has them? I would however go with these rather than the megan's though. Megan has a horrible rep.

^this guy is just talking shiiit, megan racing has come along way, yeah maybe they had horrible rep a couple years ago, i personally have owned a few megan parts and they were all top notch for the price, also basics are GREAT, i have them on my G and they ride awesome, a lil stiifer than stock, but still a comfertable ride, it all depends on what you are looking for!
