Isis HR Pros Coils? or Megan Street Coils?

[B00TYSWEET]

On a LOW budget trying to get a set of coils overs for under $800, from my research isis and megan are around my set price range. i heard a lot about megan but not much about the isis.(sorry if this questions has been asked, but i already did a search) I only plan on using them for daily driving abuse. what your personal opinion on these two types of coilovers

[Jfitzg38]

Of those two I would go with megan.

I also have a buddy selling his barely used tein type flex coils for 800+shipping, if youre interested pm me!

Ya know, probably would be a good idea to use that.

we have this thread for a reason.

megans,isis,and flex are all crap.

[vehicle336]

Be a big boy and make your own fucking decisions.

[lude4life13]

They all suck, but i believe Megan's been sucking for longer so that might be a better choice.

[zooopreme]

For DD use, get the cheapest set. With your budget range, you won't be able to tell the difference. That being said: ISIS and Megan are your top dollar. Go with EMUSA, Godspeed, JSK, etc.

[jookybanana]

everyone saying isis, megan suck, do you actually own a set, or driven a car with them? quite honestly i thought they would suck too, but after owning some isis coil-overs my opinion is quite the opposite, and they actually feel better than tein basic's and superstreet's, they almost feel about the same as the tein flex or my hks hipermax's on my Fit, but build quality probably not as good, but still not bad for only $700? and for daily its works just fine, i have another 240 with Zeal B6 before and now Tanabe Seven's and they are super expensive and hella stiff, ok for daily and better for track, where as the isis i notice if you do push it a little harder they aren't as good, but still bearable and for a lot of people they wouldn't notice the difference of isis to a better more expensive coil-over

for sub $800.00 i got KYB AGX's, Tien lowering springs, camber plates, and front tension rods.

on 1/1 stiffness it is as soft as stock.

on 3/6 stiffness it is pretty damn stiff

on 4/8 it is just retarted stiff.

its not as low as coilovers, but its definitely more daily drivable. i can still clear speed bumps if need be.

j/w - why do you want coilovers? for max lowering?

[SpeedY33]

Did in a buddy y33 on s13 Megan track coilovers rode very nice . I would recommend Megan .

why dont you save a couple more dineros and just buy some pbm's they go low which im sure your looking for and there made to last, and there gold

[bataangpinoy]

i daily my car in westchester on megan tracks, have them set pretty soft.

still suck.

[DJ 21o3]

save your money and get something a little better than isis or megans. I personally wont go any cheaper than fortune auto (you can get them for 1200 or cheaper if you look for sales) but I have heard ok things about PBM.

[venom2034]

I bought isis coilovers for my s14 two months ago and have really enjoyed them. Car handles way better and they go pretty low. I recommend them.

Yeah seems like the roads suck down there, at least where I have been for work. But just as bad up here in Albany.

exactly my thought........

[Rich260z]

racelands.....because you obviously plan on getting something better down the road, so if you start out with absolute shit you will notice the difference better

[S14kouki_10]

neither, wait another week or 2 and buy something better

[Sumslapper]

just get some cusco's off yahoo japan auction I see nice used sets all the time for 600 or less

[om3ga]

Megan are a lot stronger from my experience. For a few hundred more why not go with PBM or at least some Tein basics.

[Reece]

Uh, don't listen to that.

JSK is alright I guess for a daily driver, Godspeed and Emusa are total garbage.

Of the two you said I would pick Isis, but first I'd look for some used Tein HRs or something.

thanks for all the inputs guys, hearding all this, now im deciding, saving up for some stance or pbm or just get the isis hrp pros. i looked into used coil overs like the tiens but for a 100-200 you can get a different brand new coil over. has anyone used the isis hr pros? i seem some fucked up videos of the isis hr, with broken strut and shit but how are the isis hr pros with the new mono tube design?

[ghoti]

All I've heard in this thread so far is. Should I go with Windflower, Windflower, or Windflower.

No OP, you should go with Windflower.:squint:

Thank you, thank you for being the one person to point out that they all came out of the same asshole. :angel:

[Ramonesfreak2010]

When I bought my coupe, it came with Godspeed coils. I thought they rode good until I put some PBM coils. It was a night and day difference.

[GabAlmighty]

I've got the Megan Track's and have put a few thousand km's on em, just daily abusing them. They are my first set of coilovers and was warned by a friend that they tend to have a "squishy" feel to them and this is true unfortunately, especially on rougher roads. But, they're decent coilovers so far and will tie me over until I want to upgrade.

Right and you know a thing or two about good entry level coilovers after selling your Godspeed coilovers in the Marketplace, right?

What is this 2005? Tein still puts out HR models? You're literally suggesting to OP to go buy a set of old ass coilovers that have been replaced by their newer and expensive shit. OP was asking for broke bitch budget coilovers. Tein is overpriced for what it's worth.


And this sums up this entire thread:

All I've heard in this thread so far is. Should I go with Windflower, Windflower, or Windflower.

That being said, my suggestion for buying the cheapest set is probably the best solution for a broke bitch budget.

Also, OP, if you're raising your budget, go with Fortune Auto. You'll regret PBM. It's quality is pretty good but compared to other coilovers around that price, it's best that you get Fortunes or Feals. After selling my third set of Fortunes (version 3) with Swifts to go with PBM, I don't even have my car that low and the ride quality was never the same even with the 8/6 spring rates.

I also have a set of Fortunes for sale. They're version 2's with low miles (2,XXX), $800 + shipping and paypal fee. PM me, they are the one's not circled: (they're both version 2's if any of you were wondering)

Anything will be better than your 20 year old spring+strut.

[WERDdabuilder]

If you can save 800$ that means you can wait another week or two and save another 200$ and go with a company like fortune. I know your budget is "800" but I don't see the big difference from 800 to 1000.

[Anhell_ito]

price wise i say buy a used set from japan... i got some HKS hipermax performers im pretty happy with for about 650 shipped. other wise look into some FEAL suspension coilovers. they're serviceable in your backyard. and odi has a pretty quick turn around.

Good point.

[HeyGirlHeyyy]

Nevermind.

[slowvia]

Am I the only one that thinks that PBMs ride like complete garbage? The last S13 I bought had them on it when I first test drove it. One of the conditions of the sale was that they would be taken off in favor of stock struts with lowering springs. Lowered the price, and it rides 100% better.

On my coupe, however, I have been running the same set of Megan streets for the past 6 years, and I actually bought them used, so they could be over 7 years old for all I know. The car has only seen the street, and they really haven't been abused. I figure they've got to have around 20,000 miles on them or so. They've only recently developed a knock in the front drivers side. I'm not sure what's causing it, but I can tell you that there is no fluid leaking from the strut. I think it could just be an issue with the bearing in the camber plate, but because I haven't torn them out and fully inspected anything, I can't say for sure.

Bottom line: if you're looking for sub $1,000 coil overs for a daily driver, and are looking to hold onto them for some time, and don't want to snap your spine in half with high spring rates, I would reccomend getting a set of Megan streets.

[DRIFTER-M]

Wow, zilvia has become troll zoo. Geez, I think I have seen possibly 2 or 3 helpful responses.

I have had suspension for s-chassis anywhere from ksport to DMAX over the years, and currently have ISIS HR PRO on my DD s14.

Are ISIS or Megan as baller as 326 or DMAX? No, I don't think anybody would argue that.

However I took a gamble on the ISIS pro when they were brand new and hardly anybody had them yet because I wanted something somewhat budget friendly but still with good features, and I can honestly say they exceeded my expectations. My best friend has normal ISIS coilovers, and just compared to them the pros are WAY beefier, build quality felt very nice, and the dampers are not bouncy or overly stiff, they really feel rather nice... I would say they compare to some of the $1000 coilovers I have had prior, I can honestly say most suspension I have had prior has been in about that range and DMAX was the best an I think these are right on their heels.

Not that Megan is bad, with the limited experience I have with them they seem ok, a friend of mine had them on his Z with heavy drifting use for years and they never blew.

I will say that ISIS PRO is a great bang for your buck IMO, and though it isn't elite suspension (not is basically ANY brand mentioned on here) , I think they will exceed expectation.
