Most the time with coilovers/suspension stuff its about name brands when it comes to pricing.

ADD: im not even into suspension myself, and it took me 1-2 hrs max of research to find all that information out that I did about the plant manufacturer's and etc.
it wasnt a smart remark. it was directed to rock, who I was talking to. then you got offensive. if i was referencing you, i would have quoted you, like i am now, or said, not like that guy. im sorry you took offense to something that wasnt directed towards you whatsoever.

Ive been meaning to talk with them. its so hard to get ahold of them, other than pm's every once in a while. it would probably be a good idea though.

best price i could find yes. hks looks ok to me, but im not a hardcore suspension guy so im not the right person to ask.

it sure seemed like it. I know when someones trying to bash me. truth is i could afford a 15k suspension if i wanted, but why bother?

if i dont like the megans believe me i will come back here and post what i feel about them.. i will find out in the next few hours here im waiting for ups to deliver my valve cover. they come about 1pm.

the only problem is i did other suspension mods at the same time i did the coilovers so i dont know how accurate my opinion is going to be. my old suspension was stock struts and tein springs with tein camber plates. (from previous owner)

i dont know about the oil squirters , if the motors machined right you dont need them, but on 7 bolt DSM 4g63 motors the oil squirters is what was causing the crank walk.. the squirters would get stuck open since they were check valves and over oil main bearings and cause excessive wear until the crank would move back and forth so far it would grind the crank angle sensor against the trigger plate and eventually destroy the motor. (Magnus motorsports theory)
