Suzuki Swift – Zeta S suspension review

By Testimonials
matt swift 01

Performance on road?

“The coilovers are quite hard on the road, but that’s what you would expect, especially as I currently have the damping level at 16/32. However it is not uncomfortable in the car and only crashy over broken surfaces or potholes, when normal suspension wouldn’t fair much better. These coilovers are possibly one of the best modifications you can do to a Swift. The steering becomes less vague, and the chassis as a whole feels more tight, giving you more confidence in the car. Body roll is much reduced which helps keeps you in your seat and also stops the car looking like it has got arch gap a foot high.”

Performance on Track?

“The coilovers come in to their own here. You can feel what the car is doing, and it’ll stick through technical complexes or high-speed corners. It makes a car which handles well already punch well above its weight. To me they’ve also provided a better balance to the car, with it being more predictable. On track you could move the weight around and get the back end of the car rotating just when you wanted it to help you clip an apex.”

Value for money?

“When you consider the design of these coilovers, in particular the dual perch design which allows you to adjust height independently of damping, unlike nearly all the other coilovers on the market, they make for somewhat of a steal considering they are the same price. Any questions you have will always be answered, no matter how technical or stupid your question. This is something to value these days as most big brands won’t bother replying to you..”

Would I buy again?

“Yes”

Toyota Celica – Zeta R suspension review

By Testimonials
Cravo celica 01Cravo celica 02
“Having owned two gen 7 Celica’s before I was on the lookout for another. When I saw this one for sale it was listed with the Meister R Zeta-R coilovers fitted which made my choice very easy. Having run on standard shocks and Apex lowering springs on my previous gen 7 the difference in ride and handling is worlds apart. Smoother ride and sharper in the corners with the optional ride dampening adjustment can be set to suit your current road conditions. I would highly recommend any one who can afford these to get them without hesitation. The costs seem high when looking at it from a stand alone point of view but when you take into consideration you are getting brand new suspension components with 0 miles on the clock the costs for getting new shocks and lowering springs is not that far off without the same quality or ride improvements you get with the Meister R’s”

“After purchasing these coilovers initially to accommodate my wide 9.5J rims, I was blown away by the improvement in handling and also pleasantly surprised with the compromise in comfort, nowhere near as harsh as I thought they would be bearing in mind I have my car on the lowest setting on the rear. On the road performance is greatly increased and I can now push the car much much further. I have yet to experience track use but can imagine they would perform better still on a smoother surface.
Value for money was very good and one of the best mods I have carried out. Would most definitely buy again and recommend to anyone thinking of coilovers. Excellent Quality combined with excellent customer service is a winning combination, All the best to Jerrick and the team, Go Go Meister R!!”

“I’ve ran these coilovers for about 10K miles now and previously was running stock suspension with the GT lowering springs (all standard toyota on the GT model). These coilovers improve the handling compared to stock, improve the look (as everyone knows that low is better!), and make the ride much more comfortable! I was honestly surprised how much nicer these are compared to stock, even on the lowest setting. Never tracked the car but setting the coilovers to the hardest setting seems to make the country roads a breeze. Love these and would highly recommend, price point is perfect and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone!”

Honda Civic – Zeta S suspension review

By Testimonials

“A great set up, easy to install and setup with exceptional ride quality and handling.”

Performance on road?

“Fantastic, the amount of settings available mean I can run my car fairly low and still maintain a comfortable ride quality. The handling is so much better than standard, understeer and body roll are greatly reduced. I have had the zeta s’ on for around 9 months now and they are so much easier to live with on a daily basis than my previous upgraded shocks and lowering springs.”

Performance on Track?

“Untried as yet.”

Value for money?

“Initially seem expensive but when compared to other coilovers they are competitively priced and with the club group buy discount they were a definite bargain.”

Would I buy again?

“Yes, absolutely.”

Honda Civic – Zeta S suspension review

” If you are thinking about changing the suspension set up of your Civic MB6, or any other Civic M’ model, I’d strongly recommend you buy these. Save time and money trying other set up’s, and go for the Zeta S! You won’t be disappointed!”

Performance on road?

“From start to finish, these Zeta S coilovers were easy to fit. I was a bit concerned about how they would affect the cars comfort levels at first, but I needn’t have worried! With 32 settings for stiffness, even with them set at their current setting of 20, they are amazingly comfortable, even on the roughest roads (which there are a lot of around here!). I would even go as far as to say they are as comfortable, if not better, than the standard suspension. If set to 1, they would be as near to oem settings as you can get.

Out on the road, I got the biggest shock. The handling of the car is truely transformed! Nose dive under breaking, which these civics are notorious for, is eliminated! cornering wise, there is no body roll, and the car is so planted through the bends you come out of each corner felling you could have went round even quicker! This not only makes the car nicer to drive, but the increased grip also makes the car a lot safer on the road too. We have fitted them and gone for around an inch drop at the front, slightly less at the rear. Stiffness/softness settings are currently set at 20 front, and 18 rear. This is the first setting we have tried, and the car is perfect! It might be going lower still, and with more tuning of ther settings, I imagine the ride/handling will be the best you can get.

The car was meant to be being kept in the garage as a show car, only used now and again. But the first few days after fitting these, I was using the car for work and every single trip out! It is just so much fun to drive!

Quality is also amazing, and a lot of thought has gone into the smallest details in the design of them.”

Value for money?

“Value for money, they may seem expensive, but for the performance and quality, you won’t find a cheaper set up tha’s anywhere near as good. “

Would I buy again?

I’d definitely buy them again, and will be for my wife’s Civic Aerodeck!

Bearhood mx5 01
“The customer support is absolutely ace. I’ve been constantly chatting to Jerrick and Edwin through PM’s, trying to figure out the best settings for my needs and to get an understanding of how the system works, what each part does etc. and every time my questions have been answered within a couple of hours and i’ve never been made to feel like I was being stupid or asking a silly question. “

Performance on road?

“For road use absolutely spot on, I have mine wound down fairly low and the ride isn’t harsh at all. I’ve really thrown it around country roads and haven’t once wished that I went for a different coilover system. Nor have I ever felt that the coilovers were lacking for my needs.”

Performance on Track?

“I’ve only done one track day with mine and I also had a mate in ,basically, the same car but on standard suspension and the difference around the corners was insane, despite him having more power he simply couldn’t match my speeds on the corners. Again, never felt that the coilovers were lacking.”

Value for money?

“As is always, you get what you paid for. I would say that these were a great value. I have mine set lower than a friends who is on cheaper coilovers and mine is still a far comfier ride even on the harder settings.”

Would I buy again?

“Yes. If I was to get another MX5 these would be the first purchase.”
