Bc or Megan coil overs

Okay l got two deals where I can get bc for half the price of new I mean half $475 The guy had them for 5 months and decide he didn't want to install them because he don't want holes in his trunk. The other is for megan also a little under the purchase price around 10%. The question is which one is better and why?

Thanks

For half price it would be hard to pass up the BC in my opinion.
I don't want to do the holes in the trunk either, but my car is really just a DD, so with some research maybe just find the setting needed for street use , set them before install and call it done.
If you decide against the BC , see if you can list them here to let another member get a sweet deal.

Depends on what brand you choose.

You don't HAVE to drill. But it's more convenient.

Yup they are the same....I believe I've seen Megans go for around $700 bucks.

Not with ALL brands of coilovers.

We run an inverted shock design with our coilovers which places the adjuster at the bottom of the car. This means you do not have to drill or use an adjuster extension to use our adjusters.

Keep in mind some manufacturers do not transfer warranties. From talking to various Camaro owners I do not feel as if BC or Megan are the best choice.

That's interesting. I love my Megan coilovers and have yet to find one bad review of Megan or BC coilovers anywhere.
