Waaayyy to stiff! Non progressive springs which only work if the dampening is top notch. The dampening sucked, on or off with no in between. They were so stiff the rear bumper cover, muffler, etc would clank over bumps.
When I sold them I forewarned the buyer and I sold them cheap!! He didn't mind them though.

This! Thanks Chris


For the price of the Megans, you guys can also be looking at Tanabe and some other options.

From what i understand Megan and BC racing are made by the same supplier, however BCR is a higher quality product. I had BC racing on my previous car and went to the track about 15 times with the, daily drove the car and they never failed.

BTW how do you adjust ride height on the BCR BR type on the rear? is it the same way ar in the front?

thanks

BC stands for Bor-Chuann, the Taiwanese manufacturer of both BC Racing and Megan coilovers. Megan's is BC's low-end product sold under a different name, main difference is the construction of the upper mounts.

To adjust the rears you just twist the spring perch. It's even easier than the front since you don't have to disconnect the shock.
