I believe there is a reason for no answer. I really wouldn't go the Megan Racing kit. If you want affordable coilovers, V-Maxx is the way to go. I know some run Tein coilovers which can be affordable, but for the best bang for he buck, go with V-Maxx.

Too many people are saying vmaxx is the best for the money without personal experience. I would never pay $600-$700 for vmaxx.

A lot of people get coilovers so they can go low, not just for adjustability. You can't go low with springs. Megan racing is usually considered cheap quality from what I ever hear.

There are a lot of height drops out there and one is bound to be what you're looking for - if you won't be adjusting them then why pay extra for coilivers when you won't be using their features.

H&R race springs ftw - the drop is perfect IMO.
I want more info on the H&R springs! How do they ride? Whats the roll like? What do they run?

I have H&R sport springs and Bilstein shocks and I feel that the car rides the same with the new lower springs as when the car was stock. Which is nice because I didn't want to bounce all over the place. The car looks low, but definitely not real low.

I think to get the low look without coilovers, H&R race springs would be the way to go.
