Toyota Starlet High Performance MeisterR Coilovers
Built for seven years up to 1995 the Toyota Starlet GT Turbo is a high performance variant of the fourth generation, powered by the 1.33 litre 4E-FTE engine with a CT9 turbocharger producing in the region of 130 bhp. The GT Turbo came with sports bucket front seats and a rear spoiler, and comes with two pre-programmed turbo modes. Weighing just 890kg the power to weight ratio is impressive with 0-60 mph officially listed as 8.2 seconds but this is likely overstated as Japanese cars have restrictors. Two limited number versions were released, the GT Limited and GT Advanced featuring different steering wheels, gear shift knobs, rear strut bar, ABS, two-tone finish and optional limited slip differential.
MeisterR produce sublime suspension setups combining state of the art components with outstanding technical expertise. We recommend fitting a set of Zeta-R coilovers; featuring aluminium with pillowball bearing and camber adjustments in front, and aluminium with a rubber bush at the rear. Front spring rate of 5kg and rear spring rate of 4kg, both coilovers are fully adjustable with 32 levels of damping.
This affordable upgrade with provide improved handling and minimal chassis roll, making your car truly responsive under cornering. The ride height is fully adjustable empowering you to select and even alter the ride comfort to your taste, whether you prefer the softer settings for maximum comfort or the harder settings to maximise performance and enhance cornering speed. Coilovers also represent a weight saving advantage over stock suspension.
