I had new Meister R's fitted to my 4th gen last Friday, they have transformed the car. If you think about it rationally you are replacing 20 year old shocks, springs and top mounts for brand new, quality items, so it is always going to make a massive difference. With their forum discount I got them for £629, expensive, but worth it in my opinion, I plan on keeping the lude long term so I it was easy to justify in the end.

They should do you well. There are a few on LG with them. TBH If I were getting a new set of coilovers for my road car I would probably for go for the BC's.

Yes Zeta-S. I did look at the BC racing ones, after getting advice off a couple of people and doing some research I chose the Meister R's, mainly because I was led to believe the ride on Meister R's is not as hard as on the BC racing ones. All I can say is that the ride is perfect for me, and my car is a daily.

The BC's, MeisterR Zeta-S, Tein Basic etc.. all have roughly the same spring rates. 9kg on the front and 6kg on the rear.
