Yeah, pretty much. I used to have a buddy that was a distributor for them, and he said there isn't much meat on the bones from Megan when it comes to resale, so no big discounts to be had.

This is where I got mine about 5 years ago. Price is a little higher than what I paid but $750 shipped.

With Megan's price policy all Megan retailers are required to have the same price. We do offer FREE shipping on them everyday to help, but we have the same price listed as everyone.

Mine are green and they are 5 years old. Camber adjust on the front but no adjusting the rear camber though. Did come with the rear damper adjusting cables - I haven't installed them though. And an insane 32 damper settings... how old are they saying they are? Try going straight through Megan Racing.

@Subw00fer - Do yours have the front camber adjustment and rear adjustment cables? The cables for mine, 5 years on, are still just collecting dust as I haven't drilled holes in the frame to get them to go to a place that is usable. I will someday put them in


@WayMotorWorks - harsh... No offence but a quick search of your competitors would have shown a sale price that you could have matched or beaten. We are all connected to the same internet. That last post may have cost you customers as it could be read as significantly less than the snarky comment it was probably meant to be.

BCs are on sale now, see the Vendor notices. Megan and BC are very similar but the BC unit has coarser threads so they can be adjusted quicker and the welding is continuous not spotted in certain areas.

What makes NAM so good, is all the info that is here and all the info that you can get from the members and the vendors. Folks like Way Motors and Detroit Tuned have full shops where they service MINIs. They don't always agree on different brands but for me, their insight into how different brands wear/last and the tricks they have learned on installation is priceless. Pelican Parts also has some great DIY articles.

Just saw this and LOL'd for real haha. In the end though, money talks and people go where the price is the cheapest. Also, suuuuper irritating that you guys straight up BLOCK Canadians from accessing your website... I live very close to the border and often ship items to an outlet and drive down for pickup. You are losing a lot of Canadian business unfortunately.

To Way's defense. He has a small business, and I am sure it pains him to not wanting Canadian business likely from some bad experience with bad apple customers. When issues arrive rectifying across the border can be very expensive for the seller if the customer expects not to pony up for shipping. As a buyer when I consider dealing across national borders I do my best due diligence and only that I feel very low possibility of the goods not meeting expectation will I proceed with buying across the border.

I also infer the OP may not be comparing apple with apple in pricing, but I can be wrong. Way at the end of the day, may not be the cheapest compared to the national suppliers that have the advantage of volume.
