I'm thinking the popular response will likely be that for the price you might as well get coilovers.

they should work alright. they are about 10% stronger than stock so they should last about 10% longer

Assuming he's installing them himself, that is.

i don't see why he wouldn't. He just installed a turbo kit by himself, and switching out struts is beyond easy

Megans: $850 shipped
adjustable height, dampening and camber + upper mounts

NEX SS: $700 shipped
adjustable height and upper mounts


I have the NEX coilovers and they are excellent. I'm very happy with them. However i got mine used for $300
I would personally recommend getting the Megans, they have had nothing but good reviews and people seem very happy with them. Probably worth the extra $150

Tiens are pretty decent too, $800 shipped for those i think. and they have adjustable height, but no upper mounts or dampening adjustment. or camber. Which is why i would suggest the megans over those. Not that they are bad, just that for the money you can get something better
