Being new to this forum I know it's bad of me to start this way with one of my 1st posts and I apologize in advance. It's more of a rant in general about misinformation being passed off as fact. I've been a primary advice giver on one of the largest auto forums on the internet for 10 years, and it very frustrating to combat.
I'm sorry but the part of your post above is exactly what's going on your post. Your post is a great disservice and is either misleading or outright wrong in every regard. All it is is a sales pitch. Now I don't know your level of experience of how much motorsports experience XLevel has, but your post makes you come off as a drop shipper, not an experienced shop. You don't sell anything you won't put on your own cars, but your site lists some of the junkiest brands available (Stance and Ksport coilovers for example).
Megans have long been regarded by most communities as cheapo budget "you-get-what-you-pay-for" coilovers. By very design they are going to be unreliable. I'm not talking about snap in half like Raceland or Godspeed. But the dampers are not valved correctly for any of the applications they have. They are over sprung and under damped, which puts added stress on the strut and will eventually wear it out quicker than something that was designed properly (ie your KW V3s). This same design flaw (rather, lack of RnD) also means that they will never ride quite right. They will always have a bounce to them that can never quite be tuned out. People who suffer from motion sickness are quicker to notice it. There is a false perception out there that coilovers are supposed to ride hard and stiff, be uncomfortable. But if you ride on some of those higher dollar coilovers (AST, Ohlins, etc) these people would be shocked and amazed on how well the ride. Being valved incorrectly also is bad for handling. Another problem? Lack of suspension travel. Want to see how this is bad, I suggest you read this thread (esp pay attention to the video in post 22):

Megans have also been very prone to having their adjustments seize during the winter months. They are very high maintenance in needing to be kept religiously clean to avoid problems. All coilovers are susceptible to this, but budget coilovers, including Megans, are especially problematic. Many users opt to uninstall them altogether every winter and reinstall them in the spring.
All of the above issues show how Megan is cheap. When you cut corners like this on a product, it's hard to call it a good value no matter how inexpensive the part is.
As a Subaru guy, I assure you we do not. We unfortunately have a lot of "stanced" cars in our community. They care nothing about quality, ride, or handling as long as they can slam their cars for pennies on the dollar. These are the only people you will find praising them. When you get to motorsports enthusiasts and regular drivers, the reviews change.
