Bc or megan coils??

Hey guys so im looking for coils and camber kit ( already re-searched everything) and i had my mind set on bc coilovers but i got a great deal on barely used megan racing coils that are barely used for 700 over the bc's 1K price tag.. Would there be a signifigant difference between them? In other words is it worth it to get the bc's over the magans?? Also for camber kits i reliezed megan is about $200 cheaper than the spc (whatever it is) that every1 is recomending... So do u guys from experince and what you have heard think i should go megan all the way?? Thanks

You want to cheap out on everything and save a few bucks now, go ahead. But you will definitely be back here crying, asking why you are having problems and why you can't get your camber/toe back in spec blah blah.

+1 with Xet.

Save up the money, get the BC's and get the SPC's. You'll be happier later. And this is coming from someone who is running Megan coils...

+3 on BC and SPC The BC are a great coilover kit. I have them on my own car. SPC camber kits is the way to go.

Get the Megan coilovers and pay me to install them. That way you can pay me again to remove them and install the BC's two weeks later

I went with BC Racing only because I read nothing but good reviews while Megan's had mixed reviews. The 2 main reasons I turned away from the Megan's was because it would get itself loose and you would have to re tighten it to keep it in place. I daily my car so I don't really have the time to look after it every day especially out here in New England as the days can get pretty cold. The second reason was that it would rust faster (from what I've read online) and again I daily my car so I want it to last as long as possible. That said why not spend extra $50-150 and know you're getting a great product. I have nothing against Megan's but again I read mixed reviews and chose to go with BC Racing because of it. Also I purchased the SPC camber kit as well.

Stances are much better, for the price difference (very little over the lifetime of your coils) it is pretty much a no brainer. F&F II's are good too, I run them, but I would say just go with stances if your budget can afford it or bc if you so desire.

So from reading up on this ^^ is beast to worse?? Which stance model are we talking about because i found A LOT of them (not really maybe more like 5) also read that stance is more of a "show off" kind of product and that its NOT preffered for track days, BUT it does give the MOST comfort and the LOWEST drop compared to all the other coils out there... Now i have heard little about form and function...does any1 have any experience with that??
