don't feel like reading through the replies right now, but from my experiences with these two companies, i'd go with Tein. i had lowering springs from Megan on my GTI when i had it, and i have Tein springs on my Yaris. the Megan springs promised a two inch drop, but i only got, at most, a 3/4 inch drop. the S.Tech's did what they said they would. oh, and the Megan springs were not at all stiffer than the OEM springs.

but we are talking about adjustable coilovers for the most part here, that is how the thread originated

From what I see the megans are a better choice. Stiffer, threaded strut mount (dosnt limit travel when lowering) and they seem to be of alright quality. The shocks are made by Bor Chuann ( http://www.bcec.com.tw/ ) which are rumored to make Apexi shocks but I don't know for sure. Also the springs look to have a very similar finish and text to the Cuscos. Once again I don't know if that means anything. The thing that really needs some improvement is the instructions, pretty vague and written in poor english.

I be putting a set on Friday and Ill give a review then. Please bear with me as my composition skills are not the best.

The only thing that bums me out on them is that all of Megans other applications come a lot more cool stuff for the same price. (pillow balls)

i know, just giving feedback about the companies. then again, Megan can suck with springs, but excel in coilovers.

Megan seems to be a company that outsource everything they sell. So quality can vary greatly from product to product.
