Rebuilding evo advice?

I recently purchased a salvaged evo 8 and am rebuilding it. Its almost done but have one more problem. It has 3 like new Megan street coilovers and one stock one. The passenger front was wrecked in accident. Do you think I should buy one new Megan for $300 or find a stock set and sell the 3 Megans or buy one stock front and have matching fronts. Car will be a daily driver. Don't want to spend a ton as I have spent enough getting this thing to where it is now and not on the road yet.
Or does anyone know where I can find one used megan front coilover?

I would sell the megans and find a used set of stock struts/springs. They will perform better, and probably last longer for a dd setup.

If you'll be in the area, I have stock struts with Swift Sport springs.

Ya, I actually called Megan a few months ago and tried to get one but they were backordered. It was going to be about $300 shipped for it.
I think I am going to look for some used stockers for now.

Well thanks for the answers. I decided go to stock struts. Looks like I will try to sell the 3 megan coilovers seperately.
