Title: My meisterR experience
Post by: neil_jdmr on May 19, 2013, 08:56:29 PM
After some emails bouncing back and forth with jerrick I decided on purchasing the zeta R Coilovers . Through friends on the glanza and Honda circles who swore great things and after first hand experience in a highly tuned glanza swapping out £1800 TRD suspension for the meisterR replacements. What a massive improvement In handlng uk roads and I was genuinely very impressed.

Back to my fd experience, fitting was straight forward and I set the damping adjustment to the middle setting 16. The front once fitted were far to low and left about 4mm from arch to tyre. We adjusted that with about ten threads and left it with about 20mm gap front and back.

So my experience is WoW and honestly for UK roads these are absolutely brilliant. My car is pretty slammed and the ride on less than perfect Northumbrian roads is over 100% better and far exceeded my expectations and have transformed the car. I can\'t describe how much better this soaks up the Tarmac now and the skippy feeling putting power down has now vanished.

I would have and will have no problems in recommending this kit to others

One very happy customer indeed.

Nice to hear first hand experience.  Seriously considering a set of these, not just for price but also sold in UK so hopefully serviceable in the UK too.  DO you think they will handle track as well as street?

Oh and thanks for sharing the info

Can\'t see why not, 32 stage adjustment for damping and you can deffo feel the difference from soft to hard. For me though its the way these damp and rebound compared to other kits that I have had experience with albeit mostly pricy jdm units.

For UK roads though, awesome!!

What did these replace? (what are you comparing them too) Do you know what Spring rates your using?

They replaced my eibach potenza Coilovers which I felt were probably ready to be replaced but in no way unusable and a very quality item when new. Those were 12-14kg and the meisterR is 8-10kg
