To me, it's only worth it if it's under $400 for the set. getting it revalved is like $100-$150ish per strut(depends on what shop) that puts it in the $1k area.

oh, I do like the 400lbs springs up front and 300 in the rear for the B13's. it's just the valving that suck ass!

Megan full coilovers are wonderful on a Honda. Just like many other products out there that they crossed over into the Nissan platform. Many parts that work wonders on a Honda turn out to be CRAP on a Nissan. I don't think I've seen ANY good products from manufacturers that originated with the Honda market.

^^^ Most Honda's has the double wishbone suspension, they have way more suspension travel than we do. no real R&D is needed to get a okay suspension.

RM+AGX, CSKs, or the Tein SS are your options (Progress are another GREAT option if you have a B13). Ill vouch for the 3rd option on the street and track (about 25K miles on mine and I auto x almost twice a month for the past year and a half and I LOVE them). I used to have Hyperco Gen2s and AGXs (Like RM+AGX) and they were OK (compared to what im on now)..... Megans rode like **** on a friends B14 and I wouldnt track those so called coilovers....

RM+AGX > Megan "suspension"

I really like the newer road magnet springs. I can run the AGX on 3/6 in my NX hardtop. It feels perfect even turning on rough roads/off camber turns.

If you must have coil-overs its ground control or progress. Consider buying/fitting shortened Konis. Best bang for the buck.

The only reason I run AGX all the time is because I always find a low-mile set from a reliable owner for $250. Wonder why they sell them with such low miles?

Maybe because they are trading up to CSKs. That's why I sold my AGXs.

Times 2. That is also exactly why I will eventually (rather soon) sell my AGX's.

I had a gc/agx set up on my car for a while which was decent for the price. I have k sports now, but havent driven my car with them in yet. I have driven my friends miata and his mirage with k sports many times and liked how both of his cars drove, thats why i bought the k sports.

I dont have much experience with megans from a street aplication, but for drifting they work great. I think 3 out of 4 of my friends that have purpose built drift 240sx's have megans, one of the 3 had silkroads and switched to megans, and he likes the megans. I have not heard of anyone around here with them on a b13 or b14, so i cant speak for those. Any suspension can be considered junk if the spring rates and dampers arent matched correctly.
