^Megan coils shipped to canada is about 1000$ canadian, I found some KW locally with under 10000 KM for 1100$
How are the Megans?
Whats the spring rates?
How are the Megans?
For me, it has too much spring rate so the car feels unforgiving. I want some comfort for long drives so I need something softer. I have only driven it 2,000kms or less even.
I plan to change the springs (if I can), upgrade my sway bars to get back the flat cornering ability but at the same time, get the comfort I am looking for.

Man, I wished I knew this at purchase time but seller nor KW published them. However, I came across a thread here that has the "spec" but it is definitely on the stiff side of things...will update when I find it in a minute...

Here you go, for comparison:
My guess is that you are running a sport suspension...
Oem linear springs
G35 coupes with oem 17’s & 18’s
G35 sedan’s with sport suspension
350Z’s 2003/2004 (unrevised)
Front:314 Rear:342
Oem linear springs
G35 sedan's with non sport
Front: 283 Rear: 308
Oem linear springs
G35 coupes 2005/2006 with oem 19’s only
350Z 2004.5 to 2006 (revised suspension)
Front:314 Rear:427
Nismo Z (2007-2008) linear front, progressive rear (initial and final rates shown)
492/336-672
V3=separate adjustability for compression damping AND rebound damping and is the only product of it’s kind at this time.
Spring rates Front 485lbs to 525Lbs Rear: 240Lbs to 548Lbs (progressive springs)
Side note: Covering a wide range, these three products offer up german engineering (made by Koni for Kw), yet their use of twin tube construction is a compromise other competitive products don't do. All three version's use a progressive rear spring with a wide rate spread, which will compromise aggressive and track driving.

Yes, for the price of 1,100CDN, it is a great deal as I mentioned earlier. Just be ready for the stiffness and you may be fine. I was just under the impression that they can be set up as a daily driver so I went with them. I was considering Bilstein PSS10's but seller persuaded me to go with the KW's.
