Default Any one got the Meister R GT1s

Iknow Kingston James has some fitted to his Forester i just wondered if any of you lot took the plunge and got a set.
Absolute rave reviews on the Miata forum but im struggling to find more than one person thats had them fitted to a subaru.
Any long term thoughts or reviews would be welcome.

Following, I'm considering a set of these too for my 700hp Hawkeye
It's either these, KW Clubsports or the nuclear option of Nitrons.

Need convincing before I decide.

What about the Bilstein B16, I don't do much track work but I'd atleast like to be able to adjust them for more comfort.

I haven't heard the best reviews for B16 and mine only worked well with the forged wheels which were 4kg lighter than the OEM ones. With the OEM wheels they felt crashy.
The expensive version of Meisters have similar technology to the Ohlins DFV and have very good reviews.

Thanks for that Fivos 👍just been doing some reading on the b 16s and came to similar conclusion, are you getting reviews on the gt1 for subaru or other cars?

yeah, I was hesitant for that reason, it would be a bummer to buy now and then have it discounted.
I cant find anything negative about them anywhere, and they have excellent support from the CEOs.

Will be interested to hear how it goes with those, when are you likely to fit them?

Same price as MeisterR Gt1s, but you cant change the rear spring rate on the Gt1s and they aren't as corrosion proof.
