I think I might be persuaded in these, somebody needs to test them in the Subaru scene and I do like to be different.
Gaz I believe the rears have rubber inserts in them |
I am tempted by them, but its going to cost me £1300 to find out if they are any good.
When I can spend a little bit more and buy some B16's which are known to be a good coilover. Take the plunge, or wait until someone else takes the risk?! I dont suppose refunds will be given for a set that has been installed and tested? |

do these have pillowball top mounts? Any noise issues with them...?
GC have rear alloy top mount with rubber bush insert. GD on have an OEM style rear press steel top mount with heavy rubber surround to dampen rear suspension noise. Everyone else, I'll drop you a PM. :) Jerrick |
Could be very interested in a set also

Could you draw some comparisons Meister R Zeta's with the GT1's please.
I would expect the GT 1's to perform better on track but how do they compare for road use. thanks Trev |

With suspension, you can "shift" a focus of a suspension to do a specific task by giving up another parts of it's function. So for example, you can make a more track focus suspension by giving up it's compliancy for fast road. What that mean is that you haven't made a "better" suspension, you just shift it's focus. The GT1 are "better" than the ZetaCRD because it improves everything without any draw back. Motorway comfort: GT1 dampen with small bumps you get on motorway better without feeling sloppy in how the car respond. Twisty road response: GT1 improve steering response and the car will feel more planted, but also deals with big movement such as pot hole and bumps better. Track performance: GT1 will improve traction and steering response on stiffer adjustment. It will push the tyres harder to generate more heat and grip, and will lead to better response and faster lap time. The ZetaCRD do all the above well, you see many owners with the ZetaCRD and no one have complained about ride comfort or sloppy steering feedback. The GT1 use advance internal to make all the above "better", and that is the key word. Making a track suspension is easy, making a fast road & track suspension that is better at everything is much more difficult. Jerrick |
So I have ordered a set of the GT1 coilovers.
Excited to try them out, I will of course let you all know my thoughts on them. I've had various cars with coilovers over the years, from EXE-TC to BC coilovers, while I am not claiming to be an expert, I do know how a good coilover feels on the road. I will update you all when they arrive and are fitted. |
Is there a weeks wait building them, then delivered?
I'm interested too, but couple weeks yet before I finalise my choice |

So these turned up today!
Will hopefully get them on the car by the weekend! Attachment 73731 Attachment 73732 Attachment 73733 Attachment 73734 |
My only advice would be to run an M8x1.0 tap through the 4x brake line and speed sensor mounting holes in the front struts before you fit them. Mine were powder coated inside the threads so that I couldn't fit the brackets and original bolts without re-tapping them. Only found this out once the 1st strut was on the car and difficult to re-tap. Did the 2nd one before I fitted it to the car which made it much easier.
I've just fitted the Zeta CRDs to my car and I'll be doing a full report on them once finally set up. Very impressed so far I have to say. Very good pieces of kit. Interested to see how you get on with the GT1's. |

This is almost cost, but I want to get the GT1 out to the market so we can have more feedback from various community. I haven't decide when to pull this offer off yet but once I do it will go back to £1650. So if you want in now is a good time, the GT1 isn't a suspension I want to discount on simply due to the amount of custom work involved. :) Jerrick |
Could not get them on the car this weekend due to the inclement weather!!!

When I added them to my basket they came to 1350 ?

Meisterr appear to have changed their website, as before I could click on shop and it would automatically transfer to cyberspeed website, but now it's Meisterr shop and the price is indeed £1350. Trev |
