Meister R has opened up pre-orders for their new Sport-Z coilovers.

I love the Zeta CRD's that I have on my NB, but after they raised the price to $1,200 I didn't consider them a good value option any more.

I picked up an NA a few months ago and needed to figure out a suspension setup for it. When these cam across my screen for sub $900 I went ahead and pre-ordered them.

Will post a review when they are installed in a few weeks.

 

Also just ordered a set for my NB1! I have Clubrace's on my ND2, perfect coilover. Curious to see how the Sport-Z's are. This is just a weekend fun car.

 

@atotalpro Did you ever end up installing these?

 

Yes i did. I got busy and forgot to post my review.

Compliance and performance wise, I would say they are roughly the same caliber as the Meister R Zeta CRDs. I was actually wondering if the dampers themselves were the same, but I have noticed that different levels of adjustment are required to produce similar dampening results. The build quality is where I think they really tried to save money. The bottom mounts on the Zeta CRD are machined aluminum, while the Sport-Z gets a painted steal mount. Top hats are aluminum on both. The Sport-Z doesn't get an adjuster **** for each damper. Instead, you get 2 adjuster **** keys you have to use to make adjustments. Both of these differences are a bit of a bummer in comparison, but after you get everything set up, it doesn't really matter.

Over all, the Zeta CRD is a nicer product, but the Sport-Z accomplishes nearly identical ride characteristics (based on my settings) for a much more competitive price. With the release of the 949 Tecna and the increase in price of the Zeta CRD, I couldn't justify another set from Meister R until the Sport-Z came out. While I haven't driven or rode in a car with Tecnas, the warranty and reputation seems to make them the choice at the $1-1.5k price point.

I will attach a few pics below of my cars running these coilovers. Both are running out of the box or close to out of the box pre-load and bottom mount adjustment settings. The NB has the Zeta CRD and the NA has the Sport-Z.

 

Thanks for the info. I'm leaning towards the Tecnas but want to make sure I'm doing my research.
