Looking for a setup that will bolt-on hassle free and is a quality piece.
I too was looking for a street coilover a little while back. My criteria was a more agressive drop than springs provide, improved handling characteristics, adjustablity, and a ride that isnt too harsh (no track duty in my future).

My choice was Megan coilovers. $870 shipped to my door. Yes, they may not hold up to the $2k coilovers on the track, but thats not what this thread is about. They are a good street coilover with decent dampening and a wide array of adjustment. I personally roll full soft and it is just slightly firmer than OEM sport. They get a bad rap bc of price and some say "QC issues". But after a month of research on all types of cars running Megans, I found no more issues with them than any of the other, more expensive brands. Just google "XXX brand coilovers + problems" and you will find issues in all makes/brands. They are made in the same factory by the same people that make BC coilovers too and those have seen a strong following in the 370z community as well. Myself and 3 or 4 others run these coilovers on this forum and we are all mostly satisfied. Cost was not the only deciding factor for me, I ran $1900 Tein Flex coilovers on my 350z and frankly they were not worth 2x the price IMHO. As far as bang for the buck...these are decent bet....just my .02

Oh..and they have the rear dampening adjustment on the side of the strut body so you dont have to strip the trunk plastics or run extenders to adjust the rear, only ones that have that feature that I know of.
