I personally don't have experience but I haven't heard of many people running those springs. Are you putting them on stock dampers? I know these are more expensive but check out the Swift Spec R springs.

You can find them cheaper but the information in this link is good.

Honestly you will get more out of a better set of dampers with stock springs than aftermarket springs with OE dampers. But considering budget is limited I would invest in rear subframe inserts or M3 bushings. Inserts are cheap and easy to install and they are proven to reduce rear wiggle.

If you have the cash, maybe a set of better springs with RSFB inserts. I wouldn't waste my money on the Megan springs.
