    spring rates are not bad but they are stiff as fuck that ur teeth will rattle all day long, honestly I never had them on my mini van but my buddy had and once I sat in his car, my spinal cord was hurting for 3 days
    - just FYI, if u are planing to go damper I would strongly suggest u to go with Tein SS series -

    hope that helped

    Retail price is 1500
    but u can deff find them for around 1330 or sth
    - how much are those megans that u are planing to buy ?

    - BTW: if u find tein ss USED, for around 900 to 1000, they are still a good buy

    I have Megan, the only problem i have with them is their height adjusting locking collar kept coming loose, so i locktite the crap out of them. From a daily driving stand point, Megans are not stiff, but they can be. Their lower dampening adjustments feels good, but once you get up to the higher adjustments it can be stiff for some people, and they have the straight arm if you want to go super dump. I never had F&F so i can comment on those, but from what i heard they are not too bad.

    some coilovers you can use your OEM top hats/mounts. The pillowball mount is just that, except for our cars if you do get them, the fronts one will give you camber adjustments.

    whichever coilovers you choose just be careful buying them used
    you cant tell if they are blown
    I got ripped off on this site before that way
    dude said that the tein coilovers were in great shape and that all I needed was a $15 fix for a rear eyelet bushing but ended having to cost more than the coilovers itself to fix
    he sold me blown shit and lied about it

    bottom line is that I couldnt tell from the pictures that he posted
    so whatever you decide I would get brand new unless you know the seller and can inspect them in person

    but I dont really like either of the coilovers you mentioned just from reading about them, not personal experience...good luck
