For me Megan Streets would be better bc of the dampening settings. But a lot of people run Basics.

Megans would work just fine, but the basics will have better build quality imo since it comes from Tein...more R&D involved is my guess. If you're interested in K-sport coilovers I can get those for you for a good deal. PM me if ur interested.

Yes, coilovers are interchangeable between the G and Z

If you've got the cash, there's a local guy (Phoenix, AZ) selling a set of Tein Basics w/ approx 3K miles on them for $550 (+ extra for shipping, of course)

http://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/1656906508.html

I know it says 600 but he dropped the price on our local forum.

I would say rock these, then upgrade the upper mounts, they're like $150+shipping on Tein's website.

EDIT: Whoops, ad says 8K miles, still not bad.

I don't have them, but from what I have read the Tein Basics are harsh.

OP, have you looked at BC coilovers. They are the company that manufacturers alot of the coilovers other companies sell. They sell a kit like the Megan (which they make to Megan's specs), but from what I have read it is better quality. Search BC coilovers on here for feedback from people who have owned them.
