Well I meant S chassis coilovers. Most all I have seen have adjustable preload.

my good friend has a wholesale account thru them and he did some research and talked to the company bout their coilovers. What what he's told me their coilovers are the exact same thing as most if not all Apexi coilovers. its just a different name. They buy them from a company down in Aussie land. Apexi does too they just paint em different and slap their sticker on it basically. Cheap do to the name but just as effective as apexi

BC Racing Makes both Megan and Apex'i as well as their own. BC and megan used to be identical, but the new BC are completely different and IMO better. As for Apex'i, no they are not the same as most. They may be similar to their entry level, but all different level Apex'i are different

^ yea I see what ur saying. I did hear this about a year ago. But if u do know, I'd like to know how its different and what not. how is Apexi on a different level when they still buy from the same company? If they buy it from a company ( BC ). why would they spend the money on em and then change em? i'd just think with their research they'd know how to make it and end up spending less on coilovers.... I'm not *****in, just curious. Knowledge is power lol

Ive had my megans for close to a year now, daily driven with no problems. i havent had any other coilovers so i cant really compare them to anything else. But there are alot of rough roads near me and the coils are still holding up strong. So far, im very pleased. Much much better than any spring/strut combo i have ran in the past.

KTS or BC over megan everytime and for not much more money. For a little more consider KW V2. 1700 gets you a KW v3 double adjustable.

I'm looking into some badgerwerks. They are pretty new. Alot of guys from XAT use them. I'm going to be picking up a set at the end of the month.

tein basic is complete crap worse then stock cause you actually have to buy them imo a good strut sping combo is way better then the tein basic
