H&r are the best.
the S pipe is part of the exhust.....dont worry about not knowing, megan is garbage IMO..... you cannot compare german engineering to something made in taiwan, but what do i know, ive only been modding for 16 years.

Hmm, I don't know, Megan Racing seems like it has more options for it's coilovers, it is 32 turns adjustable. What is the min and max drop between these 2 coillovers? And how easy can you adjust the H&Rs?

are you going to race? if not adjustablity really will not benifit you.....especailly 32 points of adjustabilty.
PM mr. dezod he has the specs for the H&R
i would buy H&R becuase it is made by eibach who has over 50 years of research and development into racing springs. Also they hold the patent on the equipment most companies use to make there springs.......eibach and H&R the best IMO

Um, not at the moment, I am not racing, but I know lowered suspension does help in cornering and it's fun to floor it and turn. I have a truck at the moment, and I HATE it, had 2 CLOSE rollovers, so I said, that's it. So, I am getting either a white or a silver tC in a few weeks. I am planning on doing the set up within weeks after I get it. I will PM dezod right now. Thanks.

Wow, the parts I will order with the Tein/Koni set-up is just $2,263.16 and the parts with the H&R coilovers set-up is $2,604.16 and I haven't even put in the price of the tint windows and Injen intake yet. I can ALMOST get the tint windows and intake for the price of the upgrades with the H&R coilover set-up. What the heck should I do? Are the coilovers REALLY that necessary? I mean, I live in CO and would love to raise it when the snow comes. And we do have dips here and wouldn't want to make a mistake with the Tein/Koni set-up as if I made it too low and with the coilovers, I could just raise it a little if I made it too low. This is a hard decision to make. I have about $5,000 in my spending budget and I am already putting in at least $2000 for the down payment.

I was referring to the S-Tech, but yea. Coilovers seem easier to install and much more wiser, even tho it's an extra $300 or so.

Actually, the price includes, window tints, tires, rims, tail/turn signal tint, shifter, boot, pedals, and maybe intake with the springs/shocks/struts or coilovers. I think I want S-Techs with Konis. How much are they together? I want the CHEAPEST of each I can FIND. The more I save, the more I parts I can get. I am scared to make it too low as we have a lot of dips and we get snow here. So, coilovers would solve those problems. What ya think?

well for snow... and alot of pot holes id go with a h-tech if your really that worried or hotchkiss springs. Reason for that is s-techs do put the car low...

Myself I have tein ss-p coilovers.. and I sell them for about 1200 not 1400 ;)

Like I said pm me with what you want.. more you buy the better deal you can get on shipping and such
