Yup both Megan and KSport come with camber plates.

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.

Wasn't aware the KSports did too. Honestly KSports have good reviews so I'm put my money on the KSport setup. Why be a guinea pig if you dont have to

Megans are good coilovers and their spring rates are valved properly for that, though for the price you pay, go with a vendor who offers the same product at a great price

Michael,


Will you offer a price match/competitive takeaway against the megan coilovers since they are a bit cheaper? Tip the scales please!

How much are the Megan's? Also, I can offer something even better. By purchasing the KSports, you're getting support from a vendor and member who has personally installed this set on many 5 series. I know the tips and tricks to get the job down and can, in detail, explain how to properly adjust. I've taken calls from mechanics and explained to them step-by-step on how to install.

Also, KSport's HQ is in Arizona. Any warranty issues, you deal directly with them not Taiwan or any other company overseas. The KSport warranty is 18 months. I don't know if Megan works like this.

MR is HQ'd in SoCal and from our experience, has great customer / technical support. They offer a 1 year standard warranty on all their suspension products.

In addition, I believe MR develops/tests all their suspension parts extensively on and off the track.

Yes MR does test their parts as well as KSport. The good thing about KSport is that they do 18 months warranty instead of 1 year. KSport recently bumped it up because their products are getting better and better.
