Default xA Megan Racing Springs?? Help!

So, has anyone tried the Megan Racing springs? I'm not too knowledgeable on lowering, so I need to know what the stiffness and pound ratio means.
It looks like Megan springs have a high lbs ratio. is that good or bad?

What are the best springs for the xA in all of your opinions?
I'm looking for a good drop and a quality spring.

Any advice helps.

I run the Megans on my xB, and they ride on the firm side. I put the Monroes on the back and that improved the ride quite a bit. I went with the Megans because of price, and previous evaluations on ClubxB.
Some of my friends that have Goldlines tell me that they like their spring, but it does sag. I'm sure all springs sag in time, but i figured because the Megans are a stiffer spring, maybe it will resist sagging a little longer.
anyway, I'm sure to get flamed. but that's my 3 cents.

I have a set of Eibach's Pro Kit springs for my xA. After a little bit over a year, they started to sag. The driver side (both front/rear) is lower by 1/4-1/2". I tried doing a claim to get a new set, but they said I had to go through the reseller that I bought them from. ugh.

Anyway, I've been looking at buying a set of Megan springs. They seem promising. I like the stiff setup. Megan has been making a name for themselves.

I like them... had them for about 4 months now. No sag but it seems that the xb has a slight rake to it.

The lbs/in is the amount of weight to compress that spring an inch. So for instance, the rear spring has a spring rate of 230lbs/in ... Correct me if i'm wrong guys.

The front has 280lbs/in spring rate.

120-125 dollars shipped is not a bad deal. I would like to get some koni adjustables to pair them with.

you have the Meagans? yah on mine it was raked a little like right after i put them. what i did was start parking my box front first up my driveway, then it started to level off. then i put monroes on the back and that fixed it right away. its totally level now.
