The 1le kit is more expensive than the Megan coils and the 1le kit isn't coilovers

Depends on what you are using them for. If it's just to lower the car more and keep a good ride, then those will suite you fine. If you want better performance and handling, go for Pedders or Pfadt. Any coilover for the Camaro will fit the V6 as well.

Feel free to call, PM or email me anytime with questions.

Best regards,

I am torn between getting the Megans or BC Racing coilovers.

Dizzy82 · 10-28-2013, 04:54 PM

I have the Megans and I love them. The dampening adjustability lets me tune the ride to the road. I did have to have two small holes drilled in the trunk for the rear knob wires. I believe the Megans and BCs are basically the same kit.

CTcamaro1 · 10-28-2013, 10:11 PM

yeah i am just looking to lower the car nothing more. thank you for the feedback, i really appreciate it, they're $850 which is not a bad price at all!

kjkjr27 · 10-29-2013, 10:14 AM

Anyone happen to know the weights of Megans vs BC Racing? Or atleast their shipping weight?

Colbyss · 10-29-2013, 10:47 AM

Order some BC's the other day I'll let you know how they feel and look when I install them.

well it's been a bit! sorry to reply so late. I really enjoy the coils and the ride is nice. feels better than stock to me. I prefer a more stiff ride, but with the adjusters a smooth ride is easy to make too.
