Just an FYI I had far more positive results picking up the phone. People rely too much on social media - get engaged more and have a chat, it’s good to talk

That's how I bought my last set, by talking to MeisterR directly.

Agreed!
When I phoned up and spoke with Edwin it sounded like they're not on here all the time - they're probably on a tonne of different forums - so a little gentle communication on the phone worked wonders and they were really helpful.
At the end of the day some people (not aimed at you BrownPantsRacing ) need to remember that they're doing us a favour throwing their product out at a much lower than retail price.
I'm sure they'll still make money (20% less of course!) but ultimately when you consider how quick this flew out the door once the group buy got going it's not surprising they limit the numbers, end of the day they're a business just like everyone else.
Compared to 2 sets of BC's and a set of Racing Logics I've had before I have to say I think these are a superior product; the difference in ride quality is perhaps not quite as huge as some make out in my opinion, but they are still noticeably better at absorbing bumps and less crashy than the 6/5 and 5/4 spring setup BC's I had over some of our less well maintained roads, and in terms of build quality I do believe they're superior to the BC, especially on the locking ring collar and spanner design which is light years ahead of some I've seen.

Don't think so. I did email Edwin yesterday and asked if I could have a set still for the discounted price ? Was told it ended so afraid not . ( Oh well got to try ) lol.
Do the Zeta CRD come with the camber adjusters at front? Website says yes, others have said no.
Also is there enough range of adjustment on these to leave at OEM height or even raise 10mm?
Finally wondering if there's enough other interest out there for another GB 😜
2007 WRX Wagon.
CRD+ do, not sure on CRD.
And yes easily enough adjustment to run standard ride height / raised (although not sure why on earth you’d want the latter lol).

a few reasons if you really want to hear them...
Right now my OEM spring have sagged 10mm at front and 20mm at back. I scrape on a few speed humps, plus roads here aren't great with lots of steep hill/descent, fast undulation and pot-holes, and I do push so want it back up higher. With the Scooby being so sensitive to +ve rake it gives me options to play with it and see some benefits there too I've over-dropped track cars before and roll centres do strange things. This vehicle is never going to be tracked, so I Iike the idea of better damping and springs at the factory height within intended design envelopes for suspension movement.
how are yours holding up against salt and the like a couple of years on?
I ran my Zeta CRD+ coilovers daily for 2 years before I sold the car in all conditions and they were still perfect when I sold the car. Every bit as good as when I first fitted them.

Probably because you had the sense to cover them in lithium grease iirc .
Ordered and delivered to Ireland a few weeks ago a set of CRD+. They were only fitted last Friday and the day after I drove my car from Dublin to London via ferry. They have gradually bedded in and I am thoroughly impressed so far. I will write a short review after a few months. My car feels fresh once more.
Slightly off topic thread revival! What width and offset are those 17s? Really nicely fill theathe arches, and exactly what I'm looking for to replace my Prodrive 18s which are a tad heavy and crashy
Plus another sly prod to see if any more group buy offers for these might pop up...

Cheers, they really do fill the arches well and the drop with the coils helps with the stance. The fronts of the Zeta CRD+ comes with adjustable camber plates and they have held up superbly over the last few years since I have them on. Nil issues with them so far. Daily driven and the odd track days all included.
Rota alloys
ET35
Width 8j
Pcd 5x100
These were fitted to a Golf, hence the rather unusual offset but it works really well on the Subaru. Front and rears were very flush fitment in the end once dropped with the coils.
On the wagons, the rears will require arches rolled and rear camber bolts to make it all fit nice or else it will rub. Also a slight stretch on the tyres help to tuck it all in. That's what happened to me initially and less of a chance of happening on the saloons as the rears are slightly wider.
If you need any further information, PM me as I rarely check in here.
That's perfect - all i need to know there. I probably wont be dropping as much die to local roads, but the offset and width are still great. But wary of rolling my wagon rears as I can tell she's had paint/filler on the rear of the arch at some point... although a straight trim off the inside would work.
not aware of any coilover that comes fitted with adjustable rear top mounts........it is something we can assist with though
Ah I had wrongly assumed the Classic Meister R’s were adjustable on the rear but looking again they’re just metal top mounts. I may need to get in contact when I eventually get around to the suspension on the Bugeye.
