A general coilover question

Hey everyone, hoping you can help

I need to order some coilovers asap so let me give you a brief

-I plan to only street drive my car (its a daily driver), no track whatsoever.
-I live where the roads are a mixture of smooth and bumpy
-The fastest I probably go is 40-45mph
-I usually have people in the car (so I want to go completely flush and when people are in the car it doesnt drop too much)
-I want to have it flush with my tires (no wheel gap) and go lower in the future (Wheel setup: 16x7 40et wrapped in 195/45s)

I read through the threads and Its between:

Megan Racing Coilovers (spring rates: 6k front/3k rear) 32 levels of damper adjustment
&
TEIN Street Basis coilovers (4k front / 3.1k rear)
No damping adjustment

The only differences between the two are the front spring rates and the ability to adjust damper I guess.

What i have read so far is that the megans are too stiff and people dont like it
but on the other hand, the Teins dont drop as low.

I was leaning toward the megans but are the 6k on the megans really that unbearable (I don't want my passengers complaining)

I want whichever one has a better balance between comfort and the lowering capability.


Can you help me decide?

I love the back of my car, the front... not so much
