Talk to me about MeisterR coilovers

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Wife's NC just failed it's MOT requiring a bit of inner sill welding - all the major work was done a couple of years back, so thus really is a couple of small patches. And...

Rear shocks have 'catastrophic fluid leak' so the cost of a shock absorber being about £150, I thought why not fit a set of coilovers since we're in there.

I've heard good things about MeisterR, what'd you think?

It us my wife's car. She isn't quite as 'intense' a driver as we all are.

It seems like a good option. I have Ohlins on my Chimaera. They'd be wasted on her.

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Ordered a set.

Thanks for all the input. I'll let you know how it goes.

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Thanks, yeah good shout.

The rears are on. The fronts, the bolts are seized so a job for tomorrow.

Sitting a bit high at the back, so will adjust once all four are fitted.

Welding turned out to be a little more extensive...

11 years of Cornish salty air in Fowey and 16 years of winter driving in all weathers.

It's a summer car now. Taxed April to September. She can drive the Rangey Sport in the winter!

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Sportive.

Why?

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Fronts going on...



Yes, those are EBC discs and Yellow Stuff pads. Pads look like a job soon!

[Jordie Barretts sock]

All fitted and adjusted. Need to do a few miles and perhaps readjust.

Not driven it yet, but the wife has and says it's handling better than before. And if she says so, it must be good!

[Jordie Barretts sock]

It's sitting about where it was I think. A touch lower at the front perhaps. I'll take it for a test flight tomorrow.

[Jordie Barretts sock]

I'm happy with the set up. It's set on the soft side which will suit my wife. Yet, it certainly handles much better than it did.

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Yes, done as well.

I can report that the MeisterR are great for the money. They've transformed the car.
