i found them better than BC's on my almera gti which i also got from jerrick on the AOC forum.

the mister's have lasted better than the BC's have on the Aberdeenshire roads, handling with the misters was also a lot more responsive and if I'm going to be honest not as harsh. Will be looking forward ot when i can aford a set for my 2000 wagon

so any though that these are re branded BC's is just wrong

You missed the 'reworked' part of my post.

Welcome to the forum.

yeah i did :P sorry

tbh when my misters arrived i though the same as alot of others there was an instant reaction of have i just bought the same damm product just in different colours wasn't till i fitted them and got them all set up that i found the difference.

ty for the welcome hope to get the wagon as tuned as the old gti was

Does any body know in what way are they reworked?

Whats different about them?

on the almera it all came down to the dampener and the overall reaction of the coilover when used on fast road driving, when i used BC coilover's i suffered alot of bump steer which no matter how many time we made adjustments to it we still found it was there when we switched the car over to the misters the adjustments in the dampener where more noticeable and also reacted quicker than the BC's which in turn eleminated some of the harshness i found with the BC's.

other than what i can figure out from the outside they are pretty much the same its the good stuff inside that makes them better :)

Only just had the chance to look on our thread here, been real busy with the new finance deal we have introduced. Those figures look spot on.

Anymore reviews are welcome.

Thanks,

After one or two hiccups finally got the alignment sorted. On the motorway before hand it was quite twitchy once I got up to cruising speed of around 70-ish and when I got the car on the hunter I could see why...

Anyway, after getting it all straight the drive back was much better. The car is set quite low and I have wafer thin bases on the bucket seats so I'm used to the ride being quite harsh but it is more compliant than a similar car with BCs and no worse that my previous shocks and springs albeit with everything set to full soft - I'll play with that over time. It certainly felt planted as I approached a bend on the motorway at an (ahem) fast cruise:D

Thanks for the initial feedback nice little review there.

Some great picture again too :)

Anymore customer pictures and reviews would be welcome :)

Fitted mine about a month ago, let them settle for a week and then had alignment set up by St Albans Car Clinic, they specialise in Focus RS but know their stuff.
Front camber -1.4
Rear camber -1.2
Toe 0.04 front
I lowered it too so had to roll the arches on the rear, pics are on the 'Wagons stand up' thread if you want to see what it looks like.

Gave it a blast up to Prodrive at the weekend along the A421, set to 15 clicks all round and it was a completely different car to drive compared to before I had the coilovers fitted. I already had solid drop links all round, subframe locking bolts, whiteline rear ARB on middle setting.
Also changed wheels and tyres at the same time to XXR 527 18x8.75 with 225/40/18 Ultrac Sessanta, so this probably helped a bit too with grip. Firm but not crashy, only once when I went over a really bad bit of road did it feel a bit hard. It seemed to flow from one corner to the next and felt really flat through the corners, very confidence inspiring.
So very happy with how they perform and good value too.

Hope this helps, John.

Some updated pics to show just how low I have set the car...

Did the run up to prodrive at the weekend and it was superbly comfortable on the motorway, not crashy at all and certainly not spine breaking even with fixed race seats. Currently everything is still set to maximum soft yet it ate up the A and B roads on the way to the motorway happily absorbing the potholes and poor roads - time to start playing with the hardness as I get confident with the new suspension and start pushing.

A bump to this thread, we are working on a new website​ (again) so any new testimonial are welcome. :)

I fitted a set of Zeta R's to my 03 JDM Sti last month first impressions on the road where great the car rides a lot more smoothly now it doesn't crash and bang like the standard Sti suspension neither is it too harsh like the BC's It had on when I bought it I run it on 18 clicks which I've found to be the best comprise for the road it doesn't bounce ( too soft ) neither is it too harsh and is still able to soak up the bumps.
Having been surprised how subtle they are on the road I was worried how they would perform on track but once at brands and having wound them to 28 clicks I went out to find they actually hold up pretty well to the punishment I could of done with them being slighty stiffer but I am pretty hard on my car and I was looking for a good comprise between road and track which they do brilliantly we probed the tyres after 10 laps and found there only to be a very slight temp difference from inner to outer proving the suspension was keeping the tyre flat on the ground where it should be.
All in all I'm extremely happy they have so far done exactly what I asked for made the car drive better more comfortable on the road and be able to hold its own on track now saving for a set of GT1's

I have had them on my Classic MY99 UK Turbo for about 6 months. They are great. A good ride handle well, no knocks or bangs, look good, stand up to performance and easily adjustable. Great service from Meister R. I would suggest getting the rear adjuster extenders if you are likely to adjust at all as this makes things a lot easier. They have a good adjustment from hard to soft and you really can feel the difference. I would highly recommend!

I'd like to add my review to this. I'm extremely happy with these coilovers. I have the zeta r's on my p1 and the ride quality is excellent not hard like bc's. Very comfortable and can be set to hard for track. Handling is great and i haven't even had a proper geo setup yet :)

I've had them too.
 

I need new suspension as my 2005 subaru wagon shocks were knocking and the springs felt saggy. I spent a long time deliberating over going for uprated springs and shocks or coilovers. In the end my hand was forced as the spring supplier quoted 12 weeks lead time to deliver. So I did all the research I could across all the forums I could find, and Meister R had by far the fewest bad reviews.
My car is the only car in the family, it's my daily drive and family transport and it's (probably) never going to go on the track. So it needs to be a daily workhorse as well as being entertaining when the time, mood and road arises. Because of this, before I had the coilovers fitted my biggest concern was that the ride was going to be too hard for my wife and young family.
However, as soon as they had been fitted and the geo sorted I was amazed at how good they were. The car felt firm but not too hard, with an almost perfect level of compliance. No crashes over bumps (even on the shocking roads around here) with massively reduced body roll in corners, and still perfectly comfy on a cold winter's morning in traffic on the A14. The only downside is a small increase in NVH on badly surfaced roads at speed. My wife didn't notice the difference at all. So, I am very, very happy with these.
The car is set to a modest drop of around 25 mm all round. I currently work to two settings, 16/32 all round for b roads and 10 from softest all round for long motorway trips.
I would buy these again in a flash. The team at cyberspeeds are very helpful, organizing a fast dispatch so i could get them fitted before an extended work trip and suggesting settings to get me started

Jerrick has sponsored our demo car this week with a set of the new ZETA-CRD coilovers. They are on and one we get the car finished and the suspension setup then we will also throw up our thoughts on these with a review.

First impressions are the build quality looks good, the spanners actually lock onto the collers when adjusting to help stop them slipping off which is also good.

Eh!!! I want sponsoring on the GT1s (jerrick take note) :)
Ill put a sticker on at TOTB if that helps :D

^^^ this
it looks as though they're being made to order so not much chance of feedback from a Scooby in the short term
