It does depends on what you prioritise. This picture pretty sums it up: Lost a spoke (from contact), and still finish the final lap of the race!The only wheel I have ever seen that actually kept it's structural integrity with a spoke missing! In the above case, if you were on something else you might not get away with a podium finish and a complete car. Would it happen to any of us? Most likely not. However, the value of quality is not for things that you can foresee, it's for things that didn't foresee. Jerrick

It depends on what you want from them. As others have said if you are looking for fast road and occasional track days then the versatility of coilovers will be of great benefit. Of course as with most people your budget will dictate what options you have. Edwin

No one said Enkei are cheap, but they will keep their value for sure. Not to mention we do offer 0% finance on these, so can spread the cost out. Jerrick

We have been asking Enkei for a long time for a 15" RPF1 with concave spoke and dish like the larger / wider size. Enkei finally decide to make it and we have already pre-ordered stock of Enkei initial batch. Size are 15x8J ET25, 4x100, available in silver and black. Price are: £243 each for silver, £268 each for black. Here is a few photo of the wheels: Here is a few with the wheels installed: If anyone have any questions, please feel free to drop us a PM.

Quite different actually in the level of technology between the D2 and the MeisterR GT1. The GT1 use far more advance technology than the D2. We are looking at suspension that are design to compete with the likes of Ohlins, Nitron, Penske, etc. I am pretty sure if you open up the internal of the D2, you won't find any CNC parts at all. The D2 in the post is a 3-way suspensions, these have independent compression and rebound adjustments. However, without a dyno, it is near on impossible to make any meaningful adjustments. Also, we have seen a lot of 3-way suspension with "cross talk", and that is not something you want in a 3-way. We do 3-way suspensions, but these are normally for professional level race car. For a normal road car / occasional track car, a 3-way is an overkill and probably will yield lesser performance due to the difficulty in fine tuning the suspension quickly. Also, harshness doesn't indicate performance. One of the thing we constantly try to improve is compliancy, because that provide traction over uneven road surfaces. That is what you are after from a high performance suspension, the comfort associated with the compliancy is icing on the cake. Jerrick

The GT1 are custom build to order, and for a performance suspensions of it's level it isn't bad at all. If you look at a set of Ohlins DFV, it won't be cheaper than £2500 and it isn't even available for most make and model. However, it is a road car that the GT1 will make the biggest difference. A good road suspension that is responsive, but at the same time are able to absorb bumps over uneven road surfaces to retain traction is a much more difficult task than a race suspensions. How much something is worth depends on the owners I guess. Jerrick

While the outside of the GT1 look similar to the Zeta-R, the internal is completely different. I'll try to name a few parts, but there are quite a lot: 1. GT1 Piston: Precision CNC Aluminium: there are quite a few feature in this piston, I will work put up the details later. 2. GT1 bump stop: Progressive rate bump stop design to come into play progressively to aid comfort. 3. GT1 damper shaft seal: CNC made in house using Ultrasound tested Austrian Polyurethane. A normal damper will never exceed 40 bars of pressure, our shaft seal is rated to 400 bars. This damper shaft seal is one main reason we offer a Life-time Warranty, because it is actually that good.Like I said before, the life-time warranty is for the life of the original purchaser, but no limitation on time or miles.The long as nothing is physically damaged such as a bent rod or a score shaft, we will rebuild it free of charge if oil leak because the shaft seal fail. BAD have use this seal in Rally Cars that come back for a rebuild 5 years later and the seal look new.This isn't something that can be bought off the shelf, that is why we make them in house. We haven't done any back to back testing against the Zeta-R (also it is something difficult to quantify).But we know the GT1 will out last the Zeta (or any other suspension for that matter) pretty much in a test of durability. The GT1 use an ultra high heat index hydraulic oil from Millers, what that mean is the GT1 will not suffer fade issue no matter how hard you push the suspensions (BAD use the same oil in Rally cars). All the internal of the GT1 are made in the UK (most of the bits are CNC machined… in Essex), and assemble at BAD headquarter in Essex also. The GT1 are not design for race car, but a fast road car that is also competitive for track.It is design to be a good all rounder that will be comfortable on the motorway, responsive on the country road, and competitive on the track.The GT1 certainly isn't cheap, but for those looking for high end suspension like the Ohlins DFV, the GT1 are design to deliver, deliver a better job, and deliver that job at a lower price.

MeisterR has been working over the past 2 years on the development of an amazing British engineered suspension. We didn't want to make something simply different, we wanted to make the best and compete with the best offerings on the market. We have finally arrived at the finish line and the new MeisterR GT1 Coilovers are finally ready. The GT1 coilovers are developed in collaboration between MeisterR and Black Art Design (BAD). BAD is a well known British suspension company responsible for many race winning cars. Their portfolio range from the DAX Rush, Noble, Classic Austin Martin, to the fastest privateer Ford RS200 in the Colorado Pike Peaks. The GT1 coilovers have many custom in-house made parts that are truly cutting edge engineering. As there are so many technical features on the GT1 coilovers, we are still compiling a presentation that can show off these features in an easy to read format. But here is a little teaser video I made up for the GT1 Coilovers >http://youtu.be/GXsTFyuo8UM The GT1 coilovers retail at £1650, and we want to provide a few benefits to members that may be interested. Here are a few points we are thinking about and we want the community's opinion. 1. Life-Time Warranty on hydraulic function to the original purchaser: That is right, the GT1 damper is built to such a high specification that technically speaking, unless it is physically damaged (such as a bent / scored shaft), it will continue to operate forever… even under racing condition. However, parts exposed to the element will wear over time so you really can't give a lifetime warranty on those, but the actual damper itself will continue to function for years, we are that confident of the quality. The warranty means, if you go to Nurburg every weekend and a damper failed after a run 3 years later, we will rebuild it for free. If you crash into the Armco and bent the rod, or run into the gravel and scored the damper shaft causing the damper to fail, then it isn't cover. Sounds pretty fair? 2. Upgrade from Zeta-S / Zeta-R / Europa to GT1 Coilovers: We feel that some MeisterR owners would want to upgrade to the GT1 in the future. So we want to make an upgrade program for those who have purchased the Zeta-S / Zeta-R / Europa coilovers. Our initial thought is, you can purchase a set of GT1 coilovers, and after installation you can send back your old set of MeisterR coilovers and we will refund you £350 (Around 50% of the purchase price) for your old set. That way you get a brand new set GT1 in your hand, and there is no need to try to sell the old set of suspensions or wait for a rebuild. So what do you think of the life-time warranty and the upgrade option with the GT1 Coilovers? Do you have anything else that you feel could be beneficial to the end user. We are always open to opinions and suggestions. Jerrick / Edwin

Yes finance is 0% over 12 months and we do 10% discount for forum members. Edwin

If you are looking into doing track day, why not get coilovers? You will benefit from using a much stiffer linear rate springs with adjustable damper. That will help control the weight transfer (body roll) and make the car much more stable on track. Jerrick

As far as I know, the Tein EDFC kit will not work on the MeisterR coilovers. EFDC style adjustment are something I have been looking into, but it isn't something that have materialise yet. Jerrick

The 10% discount isn't available with the 0% finance, it is one or the other. Regards to the coilovers, most owners review find that the Zeta-R "feel" a bit more comfortable / compliant than the BC coilovers, but are just as responsive. That is mainly to do with the damper valving design... springs rate does make a difference but the impact is much more noticeable from the damper valving. Hope that helps, any questions just let us know. Jerrick

We will offering finance soon, with 0 down 0% interest. So if you interested keep an eye out for our official post soon. Edwin

You need a spanner to loosen it, its the red part that looks like a nut, not the circular knob that you turn with your fingers. Hope that makes sense. Edwin

If you ave any questions about MeisterR coilovers, drop us a PM or email, we're here to help where we can Edwin

That does sounds fun but I need to go with something more sensible... and I think the Radical Clubsport is as hardcore as they come. Got to agree... one hell of a toy. Not sure if I have enough talent to handle a car like that... or even fit physically in one. Jerrick

This stunning widebody R32 GTR is the previous demo car for MeisterR Ltd. One of the most well known R32 GTR around, it has been featured in multiple magazines in around the world, such as Banzai, Max Power, High Performance Import, etc. Built using the highest quality and rare parts, many on this car are discontinued and no longer available; making this R32 GTR a unique car. Engine & Drivetrain: The engine are freshly serviced and are in great health. The gearbox is a freshly rebuild unit with less then 1000 miles on it. Cold oil pressure of 6 Bar and warm oil pressure of 2 Bar indicate healthy oil system. Only fully synthetic oil is used in the engine such as Gulf and Silkolene. Engine power are increased with a free flowing exhaust system comprise of a Trust front pipe and a custom made megaphone 4” HKS Titanium Drag Exhaust System. A pair of SARD intake filter helps the engine breath in. Boost pressure is increased to 0.9 bar using a Blitz SBC-ID boost controller and a Raising Sun Performance Stage 1 ECU. Splitfire Direct Ignition coil packs are also installed to make the most out of the increased fuelling. Gearbox shifts smoothly from 1st to 5th gears in any speed without any crunch. Clutch is healthy with progressive and strong bite, perfect for street use. Combined with a C’s Short shifter, the gears changes are quick and solid. An up rated LSD is also installed in the rear to help put the power to the ground and make use of the available traction. The combine result is 380 bhp that are extremely responsive and perfect for fast country road driving. Chassis & Braking: MeisterR being a UK suspension specialist benefit from a range of chassis upgrade. This GTR is installed with a set of MeisterR prototype Coilovers. The coilovers are custom build unit that are fully hand build in the UK. The coilovers are also fitted with Eibach ERS Springs (Front 8kg/mm, Rear 6kg/mm) to ensure consistency and accuracy. This prototype suspension is design to provide comfortable and compliant ride quality with responsive handling at the same time. The front and rear brakes are also changed to a set of MeisterR prototype forged calipers brake system. The forged calipers have 6-pistons and measure 355mm front and rear. These brakes were tested around the 3.66 miles Silverstone Arena GP and exhibited consistent and stable braking with no fade during fast laps around the circuit. A Nismo front strut brace and a Cusco rear strut brace further increase chassis rigidity. Interior: One of the highlights of this GTR is the rare parts used in its interior. The most noticeable is the pair of genuine Nismo bucket seat sitting on matching Nismo seat rails. These Nismo seat are discontinued and are no longer available for purchase new from Japan. The Seat is made of ECSAINE, an Alcantara material from Toray (inventor of Alcantara) that are only sold in Japan. It is one of the most rare and comfortable seats available for the GTR. A genuine carbon fibre dash cover by Top Secret also spice up the interior. An extremely rare piece that are also no longer being produce in Japan. This dash cover gives the interior a whole new exotic look and is sure to stand out from the crowd. Leather RAZO Gear knob, RAZO aluminium paddles, and a MOMO steering wheel complete the interior giving it a sporty yet sophisticated looks. Exterior: Without a doubt the most shocking feature of this GTR is how it looks. The edgy wide body kit gives this GTR a menacing look that is unrivalled. The wide body kits are composed of TBO front bumper and TBO side skirts. D-Speeds front grill and rear spoilers with custom gurney flap. Yanack front and rear GT wide fenders. Do-Luck rear bumper, Speed-R carbon fibre bonnet, and the Mine’s dry carbon wing mirror complete the menacing enhancement. The rears LED taillights are covered by a Tomei light cover (also discontinued). The GTR is finished in a stunning Lamborghini Grigio Avalon Metallic (PPG: 0049) that has to been seen to be appreciated. Wheels and Tyres: The unique ASSO Interspeed centre lock wheels were a limited production of 100 set worldwide. This unique wheel use an adaptor to change the standard 5 stud to a single centre lock design. As well as being rare, it also perfectly suits the GT style of the car. Toyo Proxes R1R in 265/35/18 wrap around the wheels. The R1R is a fully threaded Semi-Slick compound tyre that will work well on the track or on the road in the rain. These R1R have less than 3000 miles from new and are in great condition with plenty of tread left. The Bad Bits: There are a few holes on the driver side A-pillar trim where the gauges were, and some general wear and tear on the paint work (rock chips, scratch, etc). Otherwise, the is mechanically sound and ready to be driven away. Prices: This unique and high quality GTR was well cared for with no expense spare in acquiring top quality and rare parts. Considering the history of this GTR and the value of the unique parts The asking price is £12,995 ono I am willing to take P/X with cash going either way, but the P/X needs to be something I can sell on so please nothing too modified. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM me, E-mail me at info@meisterr.com, or call me on 07907 527333. Please note that this is my personal private car and therefore not a trade sale. Thank you for looking. Jerrick

MeisterR Sponsored Team MnM Michael Marshall have secured the title of the Super Professional class in the 2013 British Drift Championship. We have been excited of the result and I thought I throw a little short film together to celebrate. I also included a little driver feedback of the MeisterR coilovers from our champion driver at the end. The movie wasn't professionally filmed or edited (All done by me, and most say I should just stick with working on suspension), so any pointers welcome also. Hope you enjoy it. >http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oHr7dmvyWc Jerrick
