Performance on road?

“Although our cars are mainly used in track the GTR does get the occasional road outing. The coilovers cope well on the road when softened and provide a comfy ride.”

Performance on Track?

“Both of our cars are used regularly on track and we cannot fault the performance of the MeisterR Coilovers. The set for the GTR was purchased after we were impressed with he price and performance of the set on our Skyline GTST”

Value for money?

“Very good, provide good performance with a reasonable price tag.”

Would I buy again?

“Yes”

Honda Integra DC5 – Zeta R suspension review

“The stand out part of the MeisterR experience for me, has always been the fantastic customer service.  I’ve dealt with Jerrick before, and he’s always been on hand to help out and offer advice.  This time I dealt with Edwin, who went above and beyond the call of duty to reply to my questions, even out with working hours.  Top job guys, keep it up!”

Performance on road?

On the road they are firm, but no overly so. Plenty adjustment in the damping to allow for daily driving, even on the rough roads on Northern Scotland.

Performance on Track?

Very good on track! I’ve used them twice on track currently.  First at Oulton Park in the wet. Damping set to 25 clicks from soft and everything was fine. Second outing was at Knockhill in the dry. I pushed them a lot further this time, full stiff for the whole day. Body control was fantastic, but with my car being quite low there was a little rubbing on the arch liners (only over bigger bumps). On the limit they are nice and predictable.

Value for money?

“Excellent value for money. I know from experince on previous cars that they are a quality item that will last many years. There aren’t many kits out there that can truly claim to be a good compromise between road and track, but MeisterR have achieved just that.”

Would I buy again?

“As a previous customer, I have, and would buy again without a doubt”

Honda Civic – Zeta S suspension review

“I would highly recommend these to anybody wanting the great look and handling performance of lowering but the quality and comfort you desire during day to day driving! On the motorway they are so comfortable you’ll forget you’ve got these fitted and on the A roads you’ll be glad you do!”

Performance on road?

“Brilliant! Not at all crashy on the various lumps and bumps the British roads have to offer! So comfortable as well, my first drive on these were from Nottingham to Edinburgh and back in the same day and I can happily report that I do NOT need to see a Chiropractor afterwards! Even with a 60-70mm drop I can still get over speed bumps without beaching the car!”

Performance on Track?

“N/A”

Value for money?

“You get what you pay for, these were well worth the cost in my opinion! I hope to see many years of service!”

Would I buy again?

In a heartbeat!

Mazda MX5 – Zeta S suspension review

“The handling is so much more compliant than other suspension I have had in the past.  For road use they are perfect, whether cruising or B-road blasting.  With the out-of-the-box ride height, I rarely scrape the road or arches and is found to be just right.

For AutoSolo they performed well.  With them on my everyday road setting, body roll was acceptable, but after adjustment, body roll was negligible.

Fitted by Skuzzle (in around 50 minutes).

Their surface condition was still good after 12 months use through British winters (see pic).”

Value for money?

“I wouldn’t buy anything else.  I seem to often hear of people buying cheap eBay coilovers and then changing to coilovers in the price range of the Meisters.  If you’re going to buy coilovers, do it properly in the first place!”

Honda Civic – Zeta R SuperRace suspension review

By Testimonials

“Having bought an EK9, new suspension was the first thing on the wish list. Having spend a long time researching the various sets available and reading endless reviews I decided on the MeisterR SuperRace. I didn’t really mind how stiff they were on the road so long as they would hold their own on track or on spirited drives on smooth tarmac. However everyone, including myself, were surprised at how forgiving the SuperRace actually are on normal roads. The car doesn’t crash over bumps and humps, rather it rolls over them and is quite forgiving considering the spring rates.On track the only thing that beat me through the bends were time attack cars and competition cars and I was on normal road tires. I began the day with the damping on fully soft all around. I immediately felt the car being a little tail happy so I stiffened the front damping by 5 and it was perfect! I never had to touch it again all day. I even had two Impreza STI drivers in the car and they couldn’t believe how well it gripped!

The quality and appearance is excellent. It was a shame to put them on the car and get them dirty as they made a nice ornament in the house for the few days before I had them installed.

I dealt with Jerrick who was very polite, very easy to deal with and had an answer to every question I had. I really don’t think you could get better value for money and I bet you would have to spend an awful lot more money to get a better set up.”

“I’ve had mine fitted since 2012 and they are not corroded and still free to adjust.”

Performance on road?

Performance on Track?

“They perform great on track, with plenty of adjustment to suit the weather and conditions.”

Value for money?

“Great value for money. “

Would I buy again?

Yes I would buy again if I’m looking for coilovers.

MX5, Starlet, Silvia, 180SX – Zeta S & Zeta R suspension review

By Testimonials

“seriously high end quality, I have never had any corrosion issues even after hard track usage and abuse, I have never had to even speak to meister r about any issues or faults.”

Performance on road?

“A nice hard ride, puts serious amounts of confidence when cornering at high speeds with no room for error..”

Performance on Track?

“Perfect performance, my personal taste is do have a slightly harder spring than what was offered in the mx5 however having the shock adjustment was enough to dial in the perfect set up.”

Value for money?

“They are a good purchase however I feel that there should be some kind of loyalty card”

Would I buy again?

“definitely if the price is right im actually talking with the meister r guys about my 5th set”

“They are so much better than the standard bilsteins that they replaced, they handle so much better the body roll is reduced to almost zero and surprisingly they are alot more comfortable. oh and they go much lower.”

Value for money?

“They are quite expensive but no means the most expensive, but they are worth every penny and i have been recommending them to everyone i come across as i strongly believe you cant get better for the money.

I would 110% recommend these to other people”

Performance on road?

“Very smooth on the road, most of the time i run them at 4 clicks on the front 3 on the rear, some of roads are shocking in Sheffield. Obviously they’re not as compliant than new standard dampers and springs but the ride is very comfortable.”

Performance on Track?

“They seem very good, run them at 8 clicks front and 7 clicks rear in the wet, stiffer dampening in the dry. Really impressed with the performance, a huge leap forward from standard dampers and lowering springs.”

Value for money?

“They are the only coilovers I’ve purchased but i consider them very good value for money for my purposes.”

Would I buy again?

“Yes 100%”
