Anybody has experience with the Megan Racing Ciolovers??

The price of them is very attractive but don't know about the quality...

Certainly a cheap solution. There are some on other cars that love them, other that have less than raving reviews. Generally my belief is that you get what you pay for in terms of auto parts. The 1M is not a cheap car, I would be very hesitant to put cheap parts on it.

Maybe someone who has them will report that they are great and perform well.

Those are certainly the cheapest, but there are other reasonably priced options out there.

Buyer beware. I agree with much of the below.

I would not personally put those on my car.

For that same price range you could get some BC Racing BR coilovers. H&R Street Performance coilovers are a few hundred dollars more if you want to step it up.

BC's and Megans all have the same kind of results on a shock dyno. They are okay for what you pay for. I mean if you wanted to save money you could get some BC's and buy swift springs for them with the thrust sheets. But it all depends on what your "really" going to use them for.
