Cheers fellas, I don't see any grey area here. Coilovers it is then.

Much appreciated feedback, thank you.
I'd better start the hunt for a Meister dealer or importer in this neck of the woods.

Simon buy direct from site. Jerrick is only dealer for them. He runs handles infact you name it he does it. Customer service is spot on from him. His site is were code was/is used. Cyberspeeds is also him.

Very good quality and do give you all the options, in terms of ride height etc.

couldn't put it better

I was hoping you would go for air ride suspensions

Everyone has rather jumped the gun here and said go for biggest shiniest option haven't they?

To back track...
Simon, what is bit you're actually looking to achieve/why are you looking to change your current shocks?
Are they drokked?
And what do you want out of it all?
Lower the car or keep it standard ride height?
Do you forsee wanting to adjust the height and stiffness over time (e.g. for on track/normal road use) or just want to get it set up and leave it?
Etc.

Hi @wurlycorner, good questions and I'll reply as your order if that's okay.
1: Yes, they're horrible Gabriel things and according to Jason they're really at the far end now.
2: What I want is a nice, comfortable ride with no bloody shock knock.
3: I don't really want to lower it as I think the broken suspension look now on the wheels and tyres I've bought is, for me anyway, just right.
4: There are no track days on the horizon Iain, just pootling to and from the office, the 12 or so trips a year to Singapore and visits to Malacca/Penang etc for weekends away. That's a very long winded way of saying get it set up and no more faffing.
Mind you, those Meisters look very sexy!

So if you just want stock ride height and stock feel, the best cost/benefit for you would be to fit a set of Oem shocks and springs (used) or go for Koni or Bilsteins, surely?
Absolutely no need to go to the expense of adjustable coilovers!
You could even go for the Delphi's that are on eBay atm?

Hi Iain, thanks for that advice. Much appreciated.

Now what should I do...?
