Let the haters hate, I hear them coming now. Megan is not the POS people make it sound like. Get a set of new megan streets and beat the crap out of them. I have not actually seen a blown/leaking megan coilover and they actually have good customer support.
I have 6 blown JIC coilovers in my garage for s13... that should tell you something right there. I would stay away from godspeed/isis/ebay... they all seem to be the same coil rebadged 10 different ways. Good coils would be upper line teins, stance, KW, moton, etc. But for a beater weekend slider megan is all good

for like 2-300 more you can get some fortune auto coilover, which are fully rebuildable. If your set on the <1000, Id go with bc racing or pbm; but youll find bc racing through a local distributor for less than pbm.

BC, Ksport, Vmaxx, KW V1s, and early Megans are all basically the same thing, just different colors. Megan has come a long, long way.

BC makes Megan Racing.
Different insides however. Sorry guys but Stances suck.. they ride like **** and bang all over the place. Never had a good set come in the shop. BC's are a good option and if you get a lighter spring rate they actually ride quite nice. I would honestly save the $$ and go with a set of KW's |

I have JIC FLTA2s and they rock my socks off. Have 2 drift seasons under em, but now I daily drive them. No leakage, no nothing. They are great... but dirty. Very nice street ride. Ill also vouch for Tein HAs - great, but stiff as ****. Much more than the JICs.

For 1k, I'd get a set of PBM's just because they're the only coilover in that price bracket valved specifically for drifting.
Also, am I the only person ever who doesn't understand the BC hype? They never felt right to me.

Ok so bc seems to be a good option. I'll also look into pbm and and tien has and kw.... I'm use to rocking the good 'ol eibach springs, but if I'm getting serious abt drifting then its time for coilovers....

Slightly OT, but I'll take this one.

He's got more research on his website than nearly 98% of people actually perform before buying suspension components and has a race dominating car to prove it. Alas, this is about drifting and it realitively cheap stuff works, then go for it.
