It all comes down to budget, usage and how often, with the meisters personally you have full control of your ride height and comfort level for our great roads, and I feel are on the same level as the teins at twice to price, they are well time tested with the Honda boys before hitting the market for the Mx/Roadsters, plus you will have the best of both worlds road use- soft setting, track -hard setting, you just set them to your own personal feel.<o:p></o:p>
OE billies go on forever, but can be a crashy ride on the main roads, but are ok for the every now and then toy and the odd track day .(which I am sure Taff will be on now to tell us that is the only way to go <v:shapetype coordsize=“21600,21600” o:spt=“75” o:preferrelative=“t” path=“m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe” filled=“f” stroked=“f” id="_x0000_t75"><v:stroke joinstyle=“miter”></v:stroke><v:formulas><v:f eqn=“if lineDrawn pixelLineWidth 0”></v:f><v:f eqn=“sum @0 1 0”></v:f><v:f eqn=“sum 0 0 @1”></v:f><v:f eqn=“prod @2 1 2”></v:f><v:f eqn=“prod @3 21600 pixelWidth”></v:f><v:f eqn=“prod @3 21600 pixelHeight”></v:f><v:f eqn=“sum @0 0 1”></v:f><v:f eqn=“prod @6 1 2”></v:f><v:f eqn=“prod @7 21600 pixelWidth”></v:f><v:f eqn=“sum @8 21600 0”></v:f><v:f eqn=“prod @7 21600 pixelHeight”></v:f><v:f eqn=“sum @10 21600 0”></v:f></v:formulas><v:path o:extrusionok=“f” gradientshapeok=“t” o:connecttype=“rect”></v:path><o:lock v:ext=“edit” aspectratio=“t”></o:lock></v:shapetype>)<o:p></o:p>
Konis…I have personally replaced a number of units over the years which have rusted and gone solid, you have two settings for ride height, but adjuster for ride setting, simply because of how many I have replaced over the years, I don’t like them, Geoff Walton as a set on his in better weather are fine so don’t get our great salt problem.<o:p></o:p>
Gaz gold’s…Replaced a number of these also which seem to pop seal just after warrantee<o:p></o:p>
Teins…another set of units with full control, but you will pay for it.<o:p></o:p>
KYB’s with sports springs will give a nice stance and a great fixed ride, but you will lose the comfort, if the good lady jumps in ,she will not like it(result), they two are great for every now and then toy, or the odd track day, could I live with them on a everyday road roadster…no<o:p></o:p>
Raceland’s and under other different names, throw some petrol over them, and add a match.<o:p></o:p>
There are loads of different options, but like I said it is down to …budget…usage…and how often, and a biggy that does come into it regardless no matter what owners say is also the look.<o:p></o:p>
My Mk 1 is sitting on standard MK 2 OE suspension now which was used as a everyday on meisters<o:p></o:p>
My Mk 2 1/4 every day roadster is sitting on Mk 2 OE suspension<o:p></o:p>
My Mk 2 show car is sitting on meister R’s (which were on the Mk 1 for a few years)<o:p></o:p>
My Mk1.5 project play thing, keep my lad of playstation is sitting on Mk 2 OE suspension<o:p></o:p>
All mine are road cars and not for track use ever, May track car would be a different kettle of fish, it’s all down to personal choice<o:p></o:p>
