There are 2 choices in mind that I have been considering myself for a good price for highway to track use. I have been looking into the Tokico D- spec (Found a set on ebay for $650).
There is another brand called D2, which was excellent for the price. One of those 2 is much better than the Megans.

Would you say these are worth the money?

Dunno... Seems pretty expensive having the APEXI name. The kg to the front spring rate is @ 8kg, the rear is @ 6kg. But I guess it makes up for having a good adjustable dampener. It looks like it is more for street use, you can probably find a coilover kit with that spring rate for cheaper.
This is where I went to research the coil overs.

I'm looking for something with similiar spring rate. Pillowball upper mounts on the front. I don't want to have to buy them seperate. That's why I was leaning towards Megan Racing at first, because of all I got for that price.. But I don't want to have something fall apart in a year.

have you heard of these?

they even come with a one year warranty..

i love how nobody EVER btiches about how long greddy takes to ship parts out when they're on backorder(3-5 months). megan racing is actually has a pretty good sized factory(much larger than the greddy factory), and if they're such a ****ty company lyk some of u say, then why are their products on backorder? think about it.

i know from experience as in ive had megan and tein coilovers. megan arent that great. first off my megan valving **** is crap its hard to make adjustments and tends to stick. the tein adjust easily. the ride is much better on the teins. this is of course my opinion being that i didnt have some conclusive track testing. anyway for the most part im with vinnie and raine. next go round ill be doing teins again or better. i just had to try the megan to see if they were truly junk or not. they arent junk but a little more money on a better set-up would be wiser choice.

How about this one........
The F.O.B's took up to much room on the crate ships, so shipment of the Megans was delayed..........
No I'm not racist, but that was funny.......
