I know KSport is real popular on the forum, but has anyone purchased and installed a set of Megan Coilovers and is satisfied with the performance? I understand Megan Coilovers are fairly new so I wanted to see if anyone who bought a set recently is satisfied with them.

MR coils are very popular with the import tuner crowd. Seeing how the MR are manufactured in the same factory as the Ksports, with almost identical features/specs, (with the exception that the MR are slightly more cost effective -) I don't see how you can go wrong.

+1 I'm interested as well. Poking around other car forums it seems the Megans are considered "okay", nothing stellar. Some boards say that the Megans and Ksports are made by the same manufacturer but slightly different specs.
I'm interested in comparing spring rates between the two on different E60 applications (525\528\530\535\545\550\M5).

I think the question I would be asking is the difference in spring rates and dampening. Like Cal stated, if they are coming from the same factory I'd imagine the quality for both are probably very close. Doesn't the Megan kit come with adjustable top hats?

^^^ Thanks for clarifying "Camber Plates". I knew it was a different name just couldn't think of it. Too much work today 
Anyways, yeah I thought I saw that they came with camber plates, but of course that could have just been a generic photo or statement I saw. Would be nice though.

Thanks Michael.
Comparing from another thread, the Megans have a softer rate:
F: 6
R: 6
I guess the softer rate makes sense since the forums I've seen Megans mentioned are of smaller cars like Jettas, Evos, Civics, etc...
