I am running Tein's H-Techs with Tokico HP's and they are awsome...some call it soft...I call it fit for the chassis...after they break in....very comfortable on cruising, but you can easily take the twisties as well...the shocks tighten up real nice...if you frequently take the highways or even live in an area with bumpy roads, I recommend the Tein H-Techs rather than the S-tech's....the H-techs might be a little easier to live with and you probably won't have to slow down for most of teh bumps...the S-tech's i have heard of highway cruising gone bad b/c they are a little too soft for that amount of drop

enjoy

I'm on Tein s-tech and they are really great!
but if money is a issue, then grab the megans

Please don't cheap out on suspension parts...or for that matter any part of ur car....for a 60.00 difference save up for the Tein's

speaking of Megan's...........I was looking at their coilover's, and they seem pretty good, I know Tein is a very good company but what about Megan?

[heylookitsdylan]

Tein FTW.
Ive got Tein Basic Damper coilovers, and they're the best investment ive ever made.
Like "lokuputha" said, dont cheap out on suspension, you get what you pay for.

[AccordWarrior]

You know...Megan is making a name for themselves with decent quality products IMO.

It's still not a $40 ebay coil...

That being said, the Tein springs you have listed have very low spring rates, which means it'll be biased more towards ride than handling. The Megans will be stiffer.

I think as far as springs go, it's all subjective. As long as you stay away from the cheap sleeves, you should be fine. It's the struts you want to put your money into.

This is tru ...I hear Koni Yellows are where its at....

hey, and you have these on your wagon? shit, gimme some more info on how it rides....im planning on getting these in the next week or so for my wagon...plus, on top of that, the Suspension Techniques' F&R Sway Bar Kit....



After 4-5 years of having used anywhere from Ebay Coilovers to cheap springs, Ive learned my lesson. My recently totalled CRX had an EIBACH SPORTLINE/TOKICO BLUE setup, and I cant begin to explain how great those things performed. Its amazing how much of a suspension setup can do.

But my advise to the ppl that want to go cheap...it gonna hurt in the long run...broken shocks, shitty ride, squeaks everywhere, cant go over bumps, or else.......so just, save your money.

Megan products are decent. They're actually quite good for the price!

Tein does make a better product, though. They're in the suspension business ONLY, and they have years of racing experience to back up their products.

What are your intentions for this setup? Since you're looking at the S-Tech, and posting in Appearance and not Performance, you're just looking for a lower stance. The Teins will probably be more comfortable, though the Megans will leave you with some extra cash to play with... Honestly, it's your decision. Either one is good enough for a normal street car (and neither is all that performance oriented)

[cornerkid322]

i would agree with the majority of these guys. tein is pretty much pure suspension, they know their stuff. even though tein is expensive, i think you will be happier knowing you bought tein, but this is my preference

[NAiL05]

Megan is pretty good as everyone has said. If you get there coil over system supposedly its similar to the Apexi unit. But springwise if you want an even drop go with the megans. The Teins arent bad either.

[sackingz123]

am on the s-techs....really nice soft ride and am on oem shocks..the drop is okay, mild, not too low and u can see a differnce in the stance..

i will recommend u gettin s-techs...

[Jun_ii]
