Those who have watch this will know that this video was just a bit of a light hearted joke.
However, it seems there might be some genuine interests in this topics.So if you guys want me to make an actual technical article on suspension adjustments, let me know and I'll pull something together.It will be longer than a minute and probably be a lot more boring.But if you are interested let me know.Jerrick

A short video from MeisterR sponsored driver Michael Marshall (2013 British Drift Championship Champion)
We ask him to explain how the MeisterR coilovers adjustments works in a simple and easy to understand way.A few shots of how the MeisterR GT1 are build, as well as his latest BMW E92 M3 drift car in action included.We hope this will be useful information for everyone.Enjoy…

Offer still running. Also the ZetaR have been superseded by the new ZetaCRD+. New valving and some minor changes to improve the compliancy and make them more progressive.

It is just how things are moving on group buys always make them cheaper. So in your case you always compare at the cheaper prices to the RRP. Not sure about prices 5 years ago but in the past 2-3 years prices haven't changed. Spring rates can be change but at a cost of £25 per axle.

I want those wheels for my GT, probably wouldnt be keeping them the stock colour
Thinking 16s though..
There isn't a single "R Face" wheel in 16"
We do have both black and silver in stock for the 15x8J
The next thing up that have the "R Face" would be the 17x9J RPF1, and that wouldn't fit on the GT for sure.

so much want for those RPF1s
The 15x8J ET25, 4x100, available in silver and black.
They will look awesome on the EP.Here is a few photo of the wheels:
Here is a few with the wheels installed:
And it clears big brakes too:

Just to post up the latest update on this.
Lucio have finish 1st place at Race 10 also.
As you notice, there is only 3 competitors this round because they are the main challenger to the championship.With this 1st place finish, Lucio will lead into Race 11 and Race 12 on December 5th/6th at the Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, Houston.However, it will be very tight as there is less then single place worth of points between the 3 competitors.So who ever do the best in the next two rounds will take home the championship trophy as no one has a big lead at all.We will report back with some news, hopefully it will be gold but there are no guarantee in racing.Jerrick

The thing as Gab said is the consequences is real…. you get it wrong and it will hurt.
Especially with an unpreped car like the RingBanana where there isn't even a roll cage… get it wrong and you will be in a world of hurt.
The fact that he done the 8:39 with that fact lingering in the back of the mind is out of this world if you ask me.

Well, here is the finale: 90HP MX-5 + MeisterR Zeta-R Coilovers + Kumho V70A (185 R14)
Base Lap time: 9:21Final Lap time: 8:39That is right, the coilovers and tyres knock a WHOPPING 42 seconds off the lap time!This 8:39 lap time tie the 90HP RingBanana MX-5 with a standard 240hp Honda S2000 driven by Horst von Saurma according to the Nurburgring lap time record…Enjoy the video.Jerrick

Just an update on this as we just had Race 9.

The latest episode from the Ring Banana is out… and talk about shocking (Pun intended).
We all know that tyres has one of the biggest influence on the performance of a car, as they are the only thing that touches the ground.The Ring Banana set the base lap time of 9:21 around the Nurburg Ring, then knock 22 seconds off to 8:59 by changing out the 10 years old tyres to a set of semi-slick tyres.The goal of getting a sub 9 minutes lap around the Nurburg Ring with the 90 hp Mazda Miata / MX-5 was shattered on the first try.In an interests to find out how much difference will just the MeisterR coilovers make, they install the coilovers, do the alignment, and put the 10 years old road tyres back on for another go.We expected maybe a 10 seconds improvement, but nothing prepare us for the 27 seconds improvement that the coilovers provided!That is a 8.54 lap around the Green Hell with a set of 10 years old road tyres!!!Shocking performance from the new shocks!

If they are leaking, chances are buying new damper will be cheaper than getting them rebuild.
Give BC Racing a ring to see how it goes.
The only thing I would say is if two is leaking, then chances are the other two aren't too far behind.
You need to decide if it is worth throwing money into this used suspension anymore.
That is the risk of buying use suspensions... it is a wear and tear item.
A new set of suspension that carries a warranty may cost more, but they carry a much smaller risk should anything happen.
Good luck.

The result are in, and it was very close racing!
Lucio finish the day 3rd in the SCCA STR class the fastest time of 53.244, only 0.012 second behind 2nd place!The first 3 place in the class was separated by less than 0.2 seconds...Lucio time also made him the fastest S2000 of the day, with a 13th overall in raw time.Pretty respectable considering he is only 6.5 seconds behind the 1st place, and that was a fully prep Racing Go-Kart.Another interesting thing was we had 2 driver that day using the same car.Lucio was number 14 who finish 3rd, and Landon who was number 114 and finished 4th.It was interesting to see as both driver have different preference, so both found the best suspension setting that suit their driving style.They also tired out each other suspension setting to give a comparison but it was Lucio who was just a little faster in the end.The next car down is almost 2 seconds behind, so the front runner are fast compare to the rest of the group.
Objective ResultAs Auto Solo track layout changes at every event, it is difficult to compare raw track time.The best way to compare is to use average time between driver who attended both event, so that is what we will do.In SCCA, each time you hit a cone you add 2 seconds penalty to your total time.Lucio time in round 7 was 55.297 after a 4 second penalty, so his raw track time was 51.297 which would of place him in 3rd place in the STR class.We will use the raw time for comparison.Round 7 (raw time 51.297)STR class average: 53.76 (beat average by 2.46 seconds).Total average: 56.65 (beat average by 5.35 seconds).Round 8 (raw time 53.244)STR class average: 55.90 (beat average by 2.65 seconds).Total average: 58.93 (beat average by 5.68 seconds).Difference between round 7 and round 8STR class average: 0.19 seconds improvementTotal Average: 0.33 seconds improvementSo all in all, an improvement but wasn’t catastrophic.The biggest difference was getting 3 clean runs in round 8 vs no clean run in round 7.The clean run make a huge difference to the final result.Lucio was ranked 13th overall in round 8, but ranked 65th overall in round 7 just to show the difference.Subjective FeedbackGetting feedback from Lucio after the end of the day, here is what he have to say:The car was tested on the street and the 90% of the set up was clean, the remaining 10% set up are based on driver preference.It was cool to see how Landon and I were able to select different set up to suit our driving preference on the same car, and really show how much difference a few clicks on the damper made to the overall dynamic.My driving is pretty aggressive and I was able to maintain the car ON the track with just one penalty on the first run Vs the previous race where I was not able to obtain a clean run in the all day.Adjusting the suspension to a softer setting for the 45 minute drive home was also impressive.I was not used to have a comfortable feeling in this car and at one point I visually checked the tire's pressure to see if everything was fine.The best proof was my 16 years old daughter in the passenger seat who does not have a lot of experience in sport car felt comfortable enough to take a nap during the driving home.Overall, it has been a big improvement and I am please with the result.ConclusionSo that is it, an improvement but not a huge amount as expected.Auto-Solo only give about 60 seconds worth of track time and speed aren’t fast, so a lot of importance are place on the tyres and how much traction it can generate.The S2000 never made it out of second gear on the day, and this type of tight track favour the lighter MX5 / Miata.To be able to keep up with cars that is 500lbs lighter is quite an impressive achievement given the fact that there aren’t enough “straight” to allow the S2000 to use it’s upper power band.I hope this was an interesting read, and we certainly enjoy the experience working with the driver.3rd place finish aren’t back, but we will hope to see 1st place in the future.Jerrick

Just to say I got the date wrong, the auto solo event is actually tomorrow.
So i should have some result once everything are updated with SCCA.One thing I do want to mention is that DO NOT TAKE THE RESULT TOO SERIOUSLY…It is meant to be a light hearted fun exercise, I am not out to prove MeisterR or Bilstein.There are still a lot of variable, and it is still subjective one way or the other.Some feel that I was out with an agenda, and really that wasn't the case.I would of wait until the result are in before I post anything if it was to ensure MeisterR is better.I post this up before the event, and will post the result whatever it isMeisterR being faster or slower makes no difference to me.That is it, I will report back once result are in.Jerrick

Quick query Edwin - is there any limit on the size of deposit that can be put down to reduce the remaining monthlies? As in, is there anything preventing £300/£400 being put down up front and having the rest on finance?
Phil.
HI Phil,
No limit as such however if you end up taking a £100 loan out it seems a bit pointless might as well save up and buy in one go without the contract. Down payment of £300/£400 would be fine and many have done that already on our £699 - £799 coilovers.

A common question many owner ask: How does MeisterR coilovers compare to other brands?
As coilovers are only part of a car's suspensions, and there are many other variable involved; it is often a difficult questions to answer.So I want to bring up a very interesting "test" that we will be doing.Here in Houston USA, I meet a driver at a local SCCA Auto Solo event name Lucio D'lsep.Lucio was an Italian racing driver back in the early 2000's, and have decided to get back into competitive motorsport after being absent for over 12 years.Here is a picture of him in the former glory days racing with Osella in Rechberg (Austria) back in 2002.
Lucio's current car is a Honda S2000 daily driver that runs in the SCCA Auto Solo STR (Street Touring Roadster) Class.The good thing about the STR class is that the rules limit modification you can do as well as tyres you can use, thus creating a class that daily street driven cars can compete with each other.
Suspension IssueSpeaking to Lucio, he have been having issue with his car.He is using an off the shelf Bilstein PSS9 adjustable coilovers, and he just couldn't get the suspension to work with the car.The tyres just couldn't find grip and the body motion does not feel controlled no matter how he adjust the coilovers, so he is struggling to keep speed through the corners as well as keeping the car on the racing line.The result is lost traction as well as hitting cones, and this put a time penalty on his result.MeisterR Suspensions ChangeI thought this will make a great opportunity to test the MeisterR coilovers against Bilstein, and will keep things fair as we can get a qualitative (how the suspensions feel on the road) and a quantitative (Lap time) feedback on the same road car driven by the same driver in the same competitive event.So we got a set of off the shelf MeisterR Zeta-R coilovers, and swap the Bilstein PSS9 coilovers out.
Initial Feedback on MeisterR coiloversThe initial feedback by Lucio is positive after a few days of street use.Here is what Lucio have to say:Both the Bilstein and the MeisterR look like serious tools and not toys.The MeisterR out of the box are ready for the installation, the light weight aluminium top mount included with the MeisterR is the main difference when compared to the Bilstein that need to reuse the top mount from the original Honda suspension.After 12 years out of racing it’s the first time that I see a suspension with springs coil adjustments independent from ride height adjustments.This is a great improvement and it mean no more compromise when adjusting the ride height.Compare to the Bilstein, the MeisterR damping response and compliancy on the irregularity of the street gives you confidence.You are able to feel the grip and trust the car/tyres, and know that when the grip finish there will be space for correction.The accuracy of the steering is what impressed me the most with the MeisterR coilovers.The front of the car is on track followed by the rear even with the non-linear power curve of the S2000 engine trying to mess up your approach to the apex.It is also more comfortable on softer damping setting.If your potential girlfriend has already experienced sport cars, she will not complain about comfort as softer damping setting is not so far from the original equipment.SCCA Result with BilsteinThe last round of the SCCA Auto Solo, Lucio finished in 7th place with 13 competitors total.While the lap time of 51.297 isn't slow, the additional penalties from hitting cones brought his result down to 7th place.
The next round of the SCCA Auto Solo will be this Saturday 2nd of August, 2015.We will get the S2000 to the track and hope we finish on the podium, because when you race you race to win.We will report back in a few days time.

We don't offer the P7 coilovers as there just aren't any real demand for them.
For owners who need to do extra work to make it fit, generally it isn't a problem.
Our coilovers lower brackets are fully threaded and removable, so you can change the ride height on them.
If you let me know what you need, i can see what we can do for you.
