Talk to me about MeisterR coilovers

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.

You'll not be disappointed, I've had them on my NA for a few years. Can't remember what damping settings I used, maybe in the middle slightly towards soft?

Sounds good.

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.

Wow! I knew the NA and NB models were bad for rust but didn't realise the NCs were that bad also.

They rust just as bad and the NDs rust just a s bad as well

OP did you change the bushes, as they really should be done as well to get the best out of the coilovers

[Jordie Barretts sock]

Yes, done as well.

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

I’ve had a few sets of Meister R coilovers over the years. The first set I bought when they were still £650 were for the wife’s Glanza. It came from Japan with thousands of pounds worth of quality modifications, LSD, cage, power fc, loads of TRD bits….including a set of apparently £1800 new TRD coilovers. They were the harshest coilovers I’ve ever experienced. Luckily a weekend away in the Lake District, we managed to blow all 4 shocks. I’d read a lot of good reports about Meister R, and liked the way Jerrick was active on the forums, explaining why they were better than other similar looking similar priced options. He happily admitted the low end ones were made in China, in the same factory as the similar cheap ones, but explained that the shock and spring specs were specified by him after testing to be a good fit for UK roads. He showed shock dyno results, answered any questions, criticisms. He really stood out as genuinely believing in his product. So we bought a set, and honestly, the car was changed so dramatically for the better I bacame a huge fan. I was recommending them to anyone that would listen. And they all came back loving them. The next set I bought was for an Evo 9….came from Japan with An expensive Tein setup. But all the top mounts were noisy, and it was a bit too stiff. I decided to take a gamble and spend £1800 on the Meister R GT1 coilovers. I honestly couldn’t be happier. I’ve previously had another Evo 9 on remote reservoir EXE-TC coilovers costing over double…..and honestly, on the road, I’d take the Meister R every time.
