Megan Racing has had me on the run around since May 18th and I'm tired of it. Are KSports any good? They aren't a whole lot more..

Here's a link

If not, can you guys recommend a good coilover?

i plan on going with the ksports, if you look hard enough you will find bad reviews on any product, and the ksports on ebay are cheaper

one of the pairs dont have the knuckles. The Megans had knuckles all around. What's up with that, how do you install?

^ bc seems to be a good name. ksport is a brand with mixed reviews! i had a set and the shocks blew and the same thing happened to tiga recently. i replaced my ksports with kyb struts and tanabe springs. if i go back to coils i think tein is the route i will go with. hope you figure out what is right for you!

I'm looking at a few other vendors to see if they have the Megans in stock just in case. If not, I'll call a vendor that has BCs. If they have them in stock and can get them to my doorstep in 7 days or less, I'm going with BCs

BC, Tein, KSport, FSport, Megan, Bilstein, Eibach, Koni, Apex, FK, H&R...... Those are the top names in Coilovers that i can think of off the top of my head. I know someone who has or has had one of those sets and Eibach arent good in my opinion, KSports are okay... Megans have a good warranty and good rep, Tein is one of the best, FSports arent even out yet but my friend got some for his 240 somehow and there amazing in my own opinion, BC have mixed results but from what ive heard there good a reliable.

Thanks everyone. I found a few sellers that I'll contact tomorrow that on eBay, it says they have the Megans in stock, so maybe they just have them laying around. If not, I don't think I mind paying an extra $200 for BC coils. And I need them by the 16th. Wish me luck.

Forget about it. The pictures are general pictures. They'll fit fine lol. I think I'm going with BCs, what are you gonna do?

The thing about KSports is that they go out faster because the damper inside is inversed. Apparently for DD, it makes them go out faster. I had a long talk with a seller about it

and yes as I Stated before in my previous post I said MACPHERSON COILOVERS!!!!

uhh ya I think I know that, if you havent noticed Ive been going crazy about the whole superstrut suspension on the celica. just look at the posts in the suspension handling threads and you can see im all over the board. Id rather have cusco over megan any day.
