Megan Racing Coilovers
Hopupracing.com has Megan Racing Coilovers in stock for the G37, does anyone know anything about these? How do they compare with the BC?

I wouldn't get either. I know it sounds and looks like a good deal, but as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for". There's a reason why the Megan Racing coils cost $900 compared to JIC-Magic which should be $2,000+, and it's because of QUALITY. I would really save up my money for a better brand. Tanabe might be coming out with a set-up as well.

I LOVE my BC's - which are the same as Megans. The quality is great for the price, and the handling improvements are amazing. I think they are worth every penny.
all that asside... i do have a slight rattle.

I've seen first hand the difference in quality, installation, and performance. And those little rattles can become much more later on that makes the difference in quality. I would understand if they started to rattle after a good period of time of use.

Ok, I'll go nice and slow for you.
They are still coilovers even if the quality isn't so high, so of course they can improve performance, just like if you get a set of springs that changes up the spring rate significantly enough. The point that me & gamedog are trying to prove is the quality and the difference in performance of a proven brand like JIC-Magic, Bilstein, and Tanabe. We can actually do the comparison here in SoCal since the only set of JIC coils for the G37 is down here, but it's gonna be up to the owner's of the cars to do it so we can finally get this point across. There's already a member here who's only had his BC's on for a month and wants to take them out already.
