I have Gaz fitted in my westfield megablade and they are proving competitive enough on the track.

I will look further into the meisterR's and possibly go for a set of those come payday.

Having watched various cars on a group run and seen how well coilovers cope with the fun UK back roads, if you want to enjoy driving the car then i'd leave well alone - all you'll do is ruin the quality of the ride which as standard, is actually very good.

Depends whether you want to drive it or how good you want to look parked up.

18" wheels and budget coilovers are not going to make for a nice B road blaster but i guess would be perfectly fine rolling around a town centre or on a dual carriageway.

I have to say the quality of the Meister-R suspension is very good. Thet have been fitted through a fair bit of winter salt and other naff weather, and i was able to adjust the platforms easily last weekend. Gave them a wipe over, came up like new, no sign of corrosion anywhere.
Much beter finish on them than any other coilovers i have ever had (BC, D2, Tein)
