Not bad for an entry level coil-over but at a $200 I might go withthe Apexis just becuase they are a trusted brand.

I'm with you on trusting a brand that I'm familiar with. I know I'm going to buy these for my Rsx, and give them a shot (Megan). I mean $900, you can't go wrong here! Also, just for your knowledge, Apex'i N1 Pros and Type V are discontinued. They currently only make the ExV which is made in some country like Taiwan or something. Apex will come out with a line to replace their flagship coilovers, EVO. No, not the Lancer, that's just their new line, like how Greddy have an EVO exhaust. If you want to pay the big bucks like Apex N1's, buy Ohlins instead. These are top top top notch. If you don't know the company, get with it!

Wow, teh Megans are ExV's! The ExV's are Megans?

hey who has megan coilovers here... how are they!?!?!

Not exactly, but they are similar enought in price a features to get either one.

I have a set coming in the next container. And YES they are the same. Do your research and you will find it.

What else do you need, Specs? I can get those too.

regardless to say, specs are exactly same. piston size, spring rates, alum brackets...etc..

I'm gettin 1000 from tax refund and was thinking of either the megans (is it pronounced megan like a girls name?) or save up a few more bills and get flex's. Who knows, I might end up going the spring/shock setup instead for beginners and then upgrade later on.

my opinion would be might as well do it right the first time

yeah get coils its not worth it to upgrade later

so what your saying is the N1's are the mr's???

Point taken. Thanks. I think I needed to hear that one more time hehehehe :thumb:

Ok one last time, N1's are the same as MR coilovers? if so we are gonna save sum $$$ :bigok:

juss to make sure, show us the specs Sizzzoooo :thumb:

I'm not going to say this again. They are NOT the same. Go call MR and Apex. They will tell you the same. That Sizzooo guy is making assumptions. They may have the same specs, the fact of the matter is that they are NOT the same damn thing! That whole MR selling to Apex for resale is a rumor. I have a friend who works for Megan and guess what, it's a rumor. So do YOUR research. Specs/color are not evidence enough to prove your claims.

No ;) But I think we are refering to the same person.

So whats the verdict? I dont care if they are the same or not. ARE THEY WORTH THE MONEY. I dont want to spent money on megans only to replace them later.

I get what you're saying. I for instance am buying the Megan for my RSX. For their price, they offer all the specs I desire and more.

However, being this is a 240 site, it's a tough choice. The Apex ExV's are cheap as it is. Apex has a new line coming out that are replacing the N1's, they are called the Evolution. There will be street, drift, and competition track sets. These will reaplce and become the flagship coilovers for Apex. The ExV's are comparable to World Sport in a sense. The ExV's however, are no pushover as were the World Sports. Pick the coilover in your price range which offers the best specs of your liking. Do some research on suspension handling for rwd cars then make your choice. Me personally, I would buy the ExV's over the Megan plainly due to the fact that they are similar in price and well... Apex is a brand I'm more comfortable with. If you want really good coilovers, and willing to spend 2-3 G's, buy Ohlins. Forget the main name brands like Apex, HKS, JIC, etc. Ohlins are definetely the serious tuner's choice :thumb:
