Some have reported coil binding and a bit too much sagging. You can rent the tools needed from your local parts store for free.

I would Recommend Tanabe, Progress or Tein Springs.

ha ha ha, yeah i don't get it either.

but is the op asking if he should consider megan springs based on:

(a) are they good springs, what are the rates, what is the drop, etc.

or

(b) are they easy to install, tools needed, etc. compared to other springs...

which confuses me, so i gave a confusing response

List of tools:
ratchet
sockets
spring compressors
electric (or air) impact for the top lock nut on the struts
A friend doesn't hurt either

i haven't heard much about them. i think i've heard of their coilovers, but not these springs. tein's are very popular. i have tein s's and have been extremely happy with them.
