I'd vote Meister R, fitted them to mine the quality is excellent. I went 8kg/mm front and rear and it rides really smoothly.
Even tho I do have a 'hellashite' as some put it ride height the suspension is supple and not crashy at all. I'm very impressed with it.
to put in perspective I had eibach springs on before with 40k mile OEM dampers and these are an improvement all round.
I had BC before and found them very stiff. Also the threads got corroded very quickly!

The best place is on your car! Doh!
I believe they only sell direct.
£649 according to Meister R's website for a set of Zeta R spec at 10 kg/mm front and back. I read recently that they have changed to 8/8 however

Mine's on KWv3's. I wish I had the link, but I went for these based on a roundup comparing a dozen different s2k setups (including the Club Racer jap car). These came out 2nd from top in terms of slalom pace and max cornering force, but where rated the most comfortable on the road (apart from stock). I can't remember what came out top, but the ride was rated as quite harsh on them.
The car looks great at the out of the box ride height, especially since the springs have settled. Perfectly comfortable on the road, and handles fantasticly, corners very flat.

This all seemed so easy when I started looking into it. A simple do I or don't I in my mind.
Now I've spent 2 days trawling through threads about various makes and I'm just more confused.
