Default coilover kit

which one shal I go with? The tein SS-P or the Megan damper kit. They are both comparable since it has pillow ball mounts, and adjustments. Except for that the Megans are much cheaper. I was just looking at ebay for the price of Megan, looks like it runs about $850 or so. I prefer not to buy from ebay, does anyone know of an online retailer that deals with megan for cheap?

Ok back to the main question which one shall I get. Who has experience with both. Reason why I am leaning towards Megan more is because it is much cheaper.

Just remember you get what you pay for. I like the H&R's personally but that's just me.

word on the streets is that the Megan came off the assembly line as the APEXi N1 Dampers.
Which this company here:
http://www.bcec.com.tw/products/products.html
manufactures them.

Had to be the brand. I have a set of Ground Controls on my car and it actually rides better than it did with H&R's. IMO.
