I was going to buy the Megan Racing coil overs, but I went with the BC Racing BR. I did some research and heard great things about them. You should do some research as well, and decided which set you want to go with. I am still waiting for mine to come in.

It all depends... How often do you go to the track? Is it a daily driver? I went with the street set up, because I do not have that much time to go to the track.

I would go with the street set up then... Just my opinion... But it is your ride. Just do a little more research on Nasioc.com or IWSTi.com... They have some great info as well.

Everyone says that they'll try to get to the track as much as possible, and in most cases, they don't realize how much motorsports really runs or how much time is involved. What I am trying to say is that you shouldn't buy a race set of coilovers unless you are absolutely sure you are going to use them... and use them a lot!! You kind of have to balance driveability and performance.

If you want a good quality coilover, with a good ride, I have to say I like the ride of the KW Variant 3's. I hear that they really shine as a coilover when you really start to toss your car.

The difference between the MR coilovers and the BCs isn't much. Made in the same factory if i recall, so they probably use the exact same damper inserts.

If you're not tracking your car, why do you want coilovers? A good strut + spring set-up will ride a LOT smoother, last longer, and handle nearly as well.

Tokico D-specs or Konis with Swift STi, Prodrive, our RCE springs, or STi JDM Pink springs is an awesome set-up that is headache free.
