BC Racing, manufactured by the same company, but better warranty. They have more adjust ability and go lower than megans. And once warranty is up it's like $95 per corner to rebuild. But what they do is send you out a new set and you pull out the old ones and send them back. That way there is no down time and you get a new set of coilovers.

I haven't noticed much talk about BC Racing coilovers on this forum.
Edit: I checked out their website and they are 8k front 6k rear.

The 8 we just bought for my wife has the BCs installed. I don't know what model or anything as we didn't get any paperwork on them, once I get under the car I'll have a better idea what we have. I'm actually going to raise it a bit as the car is pretty low. I have the damping adjusters set on full soft all the way around, the ride is taut but it doesn't beat you up.

properly mated springs / struts > "cheap" coilovers.

no idea about tanabe or nex but i think theres a couple of people on here with basics, i think they only drop around 1.8? so if you want to slam the car, u probably wouldnt want these, tho going as low as you will definately kill your handling, you might as well just chop ur springs at that point
