BC's Or Megans???

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 1:16 am

hey well the time has come to buy my coilovers and now i am left wondering what one i want more, BC regular or the Megans. i am leaning towards the BC's but i also hear some really good things about the Megans,so what is your thoughts on my hang up here??? and where to get them for the cheapest shipped?? modern?? Ebay?? SRTforums?? and i don't race or anything so its mostly to go low as possible and still have a "ok" ride

For what you're looking for, Megans are more than enough. I believe they are just like 1st version BCs, anyway. Someone will verify that for me. Either way, those are likely cheaper and will give you the same adjustability. Hell, I've got USED Ksports and the ride quality is perfect, and I could easily go lower and be just as comfortable.

i would go with the bc's ride quality is awesome...

I have the 1G BCs. Their exactly like the megans, color and all. Rather than the BCs, I would get the Megans and pick up some rear camber plates.

I'd say BC's. Minimum.

I love it man. No matter what, you plug the legit stuff, at bare minimum. I wish I had the patience and will power you do.

(BTW, that's serious, not sarcastic)

Teej, like Chad said grab some Megans and camber plates. Most of these coils share the same dampening design, so your ride can get dialed in damn well on any of them.

All you want is to be low, with some handling aspects too. Get the megan's, they are re-badged BC's.

Go with Megans.

$825 shipped. LMK and ill ask the guy i got mines from if he is still offering them.

Tho i just recieved mine yesterday so im sure he is still oferring it for that price.

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 2:41 pm

825 shipped sounds good to me, i have looked and the best i have found is 905 shipped

Derick, i would love to have a custom set up, like some custom shortened koni yellows, ground control sleeves and the like but i just don't have the need for those right now. i think the megans should do for me. they will deff be better than the sportlines and KYB's that i am running now. at least thats my reasoning

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Sun Apr 04, 2010 2:49 pm

i messaged the guy a few ago.

as soon as i hear something back from him ill give you the website link.

sweet thanks man

Def better than the current setup, no arguing there. I've actually heard pretty good things about the Megans overall. Might not be the best on the market, but they're certainly get the job done, and more probably.

it's the same shit, different colors. love my megans.

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 9:38 pm

Neon4Life · Post by **Neon4Life** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 9:42 pm

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 9:45 pm

hell yeah

i messaged that guy on srt forums for the 825 shipped deal but he never got back to me so i just ordered them off ebay. the vendor had great ratings so i was willing to pay a little more for them

I bet Teej gets his on first AND tucks tire on some 15s. BAH for tucking tires on 17s. Still now low.

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:39 pm

i will be tucking thats for sure, when i put them on i am hammering the pinch welds and cutting anything that gets in the way

15's FTW

can't wait till i trade for superdans snowflakes, with 195/50/15 tires i is going to be lowwww<----starts singing" all my friends drive low riders....

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:39 pm

Well done mang. Then re-weld anything that may need it after being cut.

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:46 pm

we are going to drag out my brothers miller tig welder and do some modding for real. and shave my trunk while we are at it. i want back in the 2gn calendar for next year so this should get me there

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:47 pm

YES. This, and flat purple will definitely do it.

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:52 pm

no flat purple.... OB ftw...

PS - you guys realize the Megans (even the BCs now) have adjustable camber plates on all 4 corners, right?

theTeejmiester · Post by **theTeejmiester** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:54 pm

yeah just need to find a damn paint booth to paint the bish in, i have had the miss matched 02 front on for two weeks and it is driving me nuts, cannot stand the "in progress" when it just the bumpers that are missmatched, i think i am going to start fixing the dings soon too, so its going to be ugly for awhile....uhhhh

and ryan i know bout the camber plates. point being???

sidepipe87 · Post by **sidepipe87** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:56 pm

everyone said pick up camber plates... point is, you don't need to as they already come with rear camber plates!

FAC3L3SS · Post by **FAC3L3SS** » Mon Apr 05, 2010 11:58 pm

Sorry. I was following their bandwagon statements. Even rear camber plates aren't absolutely necessary. I've got plenty of rear camber without any
