I have MDU brand G/Z coilovers. Good parts.
These ride firm, tight & smooth on the 03 sedan.
With spring rate (10Kg/mm, 7Kg/mm) which is 560 lb/in F; 390lb/in R I find are a comfort/sport range for daily rider.
I recommend MDU as best buy if bought @$520/ebay/racingfirst

I have heard some talk about rattles with the mdu coilovers but its always fixed by the tightening of some bolt and or adjusting the preload on them. And some just go away on their own once they've settles like 50 miles or so

I wouldn't buy the Tanabe Sustec Pro OCs. You'll want adjustable dampening and they don't have that feature. I have the Pro 5s and really like them but they're not under $1000.

Never heard of MDU. Megan's are great for the price.
