Default Advice on Coilovers

As above looking for new coilovers for a 97 Type R, ones on it are totally knackered.


Done some quick searches and Meister R seem to get good reviews, after some recommendations and advice what to get though.

Are you doing it for proper handling or just looks?

Just something to replace the knackered ones, dont want to be spending mega money though but dont want cheap rubbish either. I dont go on the track or race etc so doesnt need to be the best out there.

If its not on track then pointless having coilovers, decent shocks and springs give better ride quiality and handling on the pi55 poor roads we have here.
