I've got the Megan Racing coilovers and I'm happy with them. If I ever swap them out it's going to be for some Mueller Buddy Clubs.

Ohlins for sure but kinda pricey. Zeal is also another option.

I reccomend the just released Bilstien PSS9s. Think of it as a higher performance system of what the MR has. Stiffer rates, adjustable valving, ride ht adjustable, but with the same supple ride and built to take daily use.

i want a coilover with stiff spring rates, built in camber plates, pillow ball mounts, at least 16 way adjustability (32 would actually be better), and the right height has to be seperately adjustable from the spring preload. those are the main things i'm looking for in a coilover. those bilstein's dont have camber plates, they are only 8 way adjustable, and the only way to control ride height is with the spring perch. the shock body isn't threaded.
