H & R Coilovers vs Megan Racing Coilovers or ?

Before anyone bashes me and says use the search function.. I did. I need current information.. not stuff that is years old and could be wrong.

My front struts are pretty much shot and I need to upgrade my suspension. Personally I was leaning towards the Megan Racing but I was wondering what people think.

Daily Driver, Maybe a few autocross days a year. Maybe a track day or 2 once I get the rest taken care of.

What's the general consensus these days on the best bang for the buck here? I kinda ended up on these 2 brands through my own research but I appreciate any and all input.

Also what would people recommend I upgrade at the same time? Bushings? Ball Joints? Motor Mounts? I don't know these cars very well and if any labor can be saved by doing other things along with the coilovers I'd like to get that taken care of too. Should I upgrade the rear control arms? I want to drop the car about 1", maybe 1.5" at the most.


Thank you in advance.
