both ctrs looking awesome :thumbup:

How low is the one with the pro race alloys?

[Magnificent_one]

Mine? It's a sport (1.6i) but i think they are the same in hight than a ctr.
From arch to center of the wheel i have 31cm in the front and about 31-31,5cm on the back. But i'm going to lower the back a bit more next week or so.

How did everything go? Any pictures? How is the ride?

[Arris]

Looks good, how low will these go?

Looks good, how low will these go?

Would be around -60mm or so.
The biggest issue is the rear damper... I had redesigned the entire setup to allow the rear to go as low as possible while remaining adequate suspension travel and a true dual perch design.

We design the MeisterR coilovers for the EP3 to go as low as possible while providing great performance.

Some serious bit of kit,

Great service and help from Jerrick

Some great quality suspension for money

Definately recommend it to anyone whos looking a good solid setup, nothing but good reviews on these from this brand

[kipps]

Random question as I cant seem to find the answer anywhere, Whats the height adjustment range compared to standard ? As in -30mm to -60mm ?
( Would only really want to lower the car 20 to 30mm at the most personally )

[SR-25]

I've got Tein Superstreets at the moment and they super hard even on the softest setting for the roads i drive on around here. I've considered the Meisters but i don't want to go half as low as i am now on the Teins as i've already split one exhaust b pipe on speed bumps.

My issue though is what is the correct angle the steering arms should be and with a 20mm drop will the straight design on the meisters upset that balance or would i need to go lower to make ends meet if that makes any sense?

[MeisterR]

For those of you that are worry about the how high it goes... I would say you the highest would be around -15mm from standard.
The front suspension have "load" of room to play with, so that isn't the issue.

The rear lower bracket might come into play, but then you can also use the springs to raise there car so there are a few way to adjust the height on the rear if it comes down to it.
But I would say -15mm from standard would be achievable using the the Zeta-R coilovers.

However, what SR-25's concern are also correct as it mean the straight steering arm have drop the steering arm more than the lowered ride height amount.
With that said, I would say about -20-25mm you would be fine with the straight steering arm as chances are you will not be putting any more stress on the ball joint than the V-shape steering arm.
It will kind of be "in the middle" so to speak.

In this instance, the Straight steering arms will not create more stress; but it also will not offer noticeable advantage over the V-shape steering arms.

The overall "effective" range of height adjustments I will say around -20mm to around -50mm.

While I am at it, here is a picture from Yung's EP3 with the Zeta-R coilovers on the lowest setting.
This should give a pretty good idea how low the coilovers will go, and of course you can easily raise it up about 1.5" to 2".

Thanks for clearing that up for me Jerrick, i might have to get a set with a set of those RCA's when funds allow for both

[Koston]

Those are for the old Zeta coilovers that I have in stock, I am trying to clear the old stock and that is why they are £429.
I had clear out the stock of the old Zeta for EP3 and the DC5 long ago...

The old Zeta coilovers were good coilovers, but they are nothing near the new version Zeta-R.
The new Zeta-R have the straight steering arms, 32 damping adjustment (instead of 15), revised springs rate, revised damping rate, more damper stroke travel, stronger anti-corrosion plating, and about 25% lighter in weight. :thumbup:

There is no wait for the Zeta-R, all in stock ready for next day delivery.

[Koston]

Awesome :bigthumb:

Ill check my funds after the weekend, how long is delivery usually?
