Epic post, not only the car one of my all time favourites but I want to follow more blogs like Speed Hunters and this one looks good

No to the carbon and whats wrong with MeisteR I thought they were supposed to be good for the price?

Oh and why the HKS filter? They arent the best after market filter

Always loved these and this is a cracking example so I had a look on Piston heads classifieds, my god, the prices for a V Spec. :eek:

Because it is better to kill cheap coilovers with road salt than expensive ones?

May as well buy a £500 banger to kill on salty roads than run an R34 by your logic.

Go on then, what's so bad about MeisterR and what would you suggest instead?

have you much experience to back that up ? there a good setup and I do have plenty experience of brands like tein, cusco, apexi.

the carbon idea was never going to be wrap it was going to be proper carbon panels. but I don't like the photochop idea enough to go for it.

hks filter, I don't really know what to believe, I have had most. I believe the difference to be small. on the larger scale.

My main mechanic who knows a fair bit about suspension doesn't rate them much at all, that's enough for me. Fair play to Jerrick on getting replacement parts out fast to replace failed dampers but that's not something I'd want to be dealing with personally.

my mechanic..... yawn.

so you have no experience then,
nice

I've had experience of cheap coilovers before but not Meister R. If you're happy with them then fair play but I'd personally not use them.

for road use, there fine. I have no issues, as does loads of other owners on clubs. and there not cheap cheap, like the sets available for 250 quid. think there about 700. I have long experience of proper branded coilovers and they seem on par. still need to set them up to my preference on the dampening. I didn't buy or fit them, came on the car
