Default Which Coilovers would you choose?

I am debating between these 2 coilovers. Which one would you guys get?

I have a 2013 TC2

http://www.meganracing.com/product_d...=1318&catid=31

OR

http://ksportusa.com/products/coilovers/kontrol-pro/

I can get the Mugen one for 850 and Ksport Kontrol Pro for 900.

Did you have to get new tires when you dropped it 4 inches? Will it rub with a 3 inch drop? I plan on dropping mine 3 inches and see how it looks, maybe more.

Sorry about the wrong section, can someone move it to the correct thread?

I've had two sets of megans (already on the vehicles I purchased) and both times the front ones blew out in no time.

I do rub actaully, i run mine with a 3.5 inch drop at the rear and around 3 in the front. i have now bought 225/40/18 in order to get rid of the problem. i also did get my fender rolled. That being said i would be .5 inch lower than you and i was running a wider wheel with a lower offset. what wheel and offest would you be running?

I think you'll be fine without any rubbing issues. Anything lower than a 35 offset will usually need a slight fender roll. The amount of low you go also plays a factor.

If you didnt rub why did you add the 10mm spacer?

Usually spacers are added for a more aggressive stance.
