Meister-R just get them in mate. They are the same price, I have had both and can honestly say the Meister-R seem better quality than the BC's.
Mine are low, set at 16 clicks front/rear on 8/8 springs and the ride is good. It's planted, corners flat but still has 'give' and doesn't break your back at all.

Feel free to pm me if you have any more questions, I also had eibach springs on my car before the coilovers.

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.



I vote for V3's or at least KW's as well.

I've been driving round on KW's for 6+ years now in different cars, they are brilliant and always ride well

Given I already have a box in the kitchen with an "Eibach" despatch note badly covered up, I think I have to tread carefully on this one lol.

She won't notice the difference when the new one says KW on it

She will do though when her face is stuck to the passenger window when cornering hard
