New owner of Megan Coilovers Options

Heres a pic sample of my megan coilovers. I dont wanna take full pics till i get it at the right ride height for me. I installed the coilovers without height adjustment and they pretty much came out the same as my intrax springs just a tad tad bit lower almost no major change but that means out of the box is somewhere at least 2" drop but then again I havent let it settle. When I installed it my tires were 1 inch of the ground, when I jacked up the knuckle, the tires were decently far from the ground after, I am assuming the ride height will get lower still after much driving. Haven't done a damper adjustment yet too, i was too tired, had stubborn bolts and nuts - had to grind one off. Took it for a quick ride though, stiff but still comfortable at the same time, it must be my tires though. I want to compare the hardest adjustment vs. the softest.

price vs performance - Tein Basics are no match for Megans. All my friends have Teins and I am not impressed with the fancy indoor adjustability and no strut mount, and 16 way adjustability, no camber adjustment. I get irritated its not a full assembly, you have to use stock components. My friends have to run really stiff just to get it comfortable. For some reason that is not good if they wanted to stiffen it up more for track. Megans I am somewhere in the middle and have lots of more room to adjust for stiffness. I am not saying Teins are a bad product. I am saying hands down, you are paying a lot more for something you don't get. Ive read online Teins lack the adjustability of Megans all around, and you dont need the internet to tell you that just by the specs, Megans even have better spring rates. Teins basics will blow faster than Megans. Megans > Tein Basics. If you get Teins make sure you get higher than the Tein Basics to beat out the Megans. Just research online.
