Do not buy Megan.
Tilt is offering a Great deal on a very good set up and so is THM. They are not much more then you would spend on the megans or BC stuff and I believe they offer better support.

Neither of the 2, they're both crap.
Ask yourself why they end up costing less than a set of koni yellows with a good set of springs while being multi-adjustable and yada yada...
The offers that Hoss and Erick mentioned are good for entry level coilovers. I think that the most important thing is what you need the coilovers for.

OP - Check out the Powertrix Coilover GB and feel free to PM me if you have any questions! GB reservations are technically over, but I may be able to make space for you if desired.

+1 more on not going with either of the 2 original options, you can do better for just a tad bit more money.
Are you wanting it low? or just better handling? or?
coilovers will get you slammed due to adjustablilty, although there are some spring/shock combos that also sit pretty low, they're not ride height adjustable so once they're put on you're stuck at that height. (unless you're a moron and you cut your springs or something)
If you're just wanting a nice drop and slightly better handling then just grab a set Tein S-Techs with a good shock (I see combo packages available online all the time), or the next step up would be some entry level coilovers if you're wanting more adjustability etc.

I love my HKS Hipermax's. But coilovers are really tricky to buy depending on your needs and what you want from them. Some are very stiff even on their softest setting. Some are better for track while others are better just for drivability and show. And sometimes you rather just get a spring and shock setup than spending crazy amounts on coilovers (depending which one you get)
