MeisterR GT1 Coilovers - Opinion
MeisterR GT1 Coilovers - Opinion
We didn't want to make something simply different, we wanted to make the best and compete with the best offerings on the market.*
We have finally arrived at the finish line and the new MeisterR GT1 Coilovers are finally ready.
The GT1 coilovers are developed*in collaboration between MeisterR and Black Art Design (BAD).*
BAD is a well known British suspension company responsible for many race winning cars.*
Their portfolio range from the DAX Rush, Noble, Classic Austin Martin, to the fastest privateer Ford RS200 in the Colorado Pike Peaks.
The GT1 coilovers have many custom in-house made parts that are truly cutting edge engineering.*
As there are so many technical features on the GT1 coilovers, we are still compiling a presentation that can show off these features in an easy to read format.
But here is a little teaser video I made up for the GT1 Coilovers
http://youtu.be/GXsTFyuo8UM
The GT1 coilovers retail at £1650, and we want to provide a few benefits to members that may be interested.
Here are a few points we are thinking about and we want the community's opinion.
1. *Life-Time Warranty on hydraulic function to the original purchaser: *
That is right, the GT1 damper is built to such a high specification that technically speaking, unless it is physically damaged (such as a bent / scored shaft), it will continue to operate forever… even under racing condition.*
However, parts exposed to the element will wear over time so you really can't give a lifetime warranty on those, but the actual damper itself will continue to function for years, we are that confident of the quality.
The warranty means, if you go to Nurburg every weekend and a damper failed after a run 3 years later, we will rebuild it for free.*
If you crash into the Armco and bent the rod, or run into the gravel and scored the damper shaft causing the damper to fail, then it isn't cover.*Sounds pretty fair?
2. *Upgrade from Zeta-S / Zeta-R / Europa to GT1 Coilovers:
We feel that some MeisterR owners would want to upgrade to the GT1 in the future.*So we want to make an upgrade program for those who have purchased the Zeta-S / Zeta-R / Europa coilovers.*
Our initial thought is, you can purchase a set of GT1 coilovers, and after installation you can send back your old set of MeisterR coilovers and we will refund you £350 (Around 50% of the purchase price) for your old set.*
That way you get a brand new set GT1 in your hand, and there is no need to try to sell the old set of suspensions or wait for a rebuild.
So what do you think of the life-time warranty and the upgrade option with the GT1 Coilovers?
Do you have anything else that you feel could be beneficial to the end user.
We are always open to opinions and suggestions.

el_bandido Are you guys going to be available to demo these at all? I'd like a ride in a car with them fitted.
Might be difficult to "demo" these as it will be different for every car.
But if you are on the Europa at the moment, just think of the GT1 as a upgrade to the ride characteristic on ALL Aspect.
A very noticeable difference will be the motorway.
The GT1 will "float" over those very small bumps you have on the motorway where you will feel it when you are on the Europa.
This is because the GT1 piston have a few unique feature that allow the damper to react to very small and fast bumps, and this is only achievable because of the complex CNC piston design.

el_bandido Hows the difference in road noise?
Road noise is a lot of do with things like tyres and bushes.
The GT1 does have a trick.
There is an air chamber build inside the piston.
This air chamber allows the oil to "vibrate" and therefore allows the damper to reaction to very high frequency movement, these movement will be very close to "noise" frequency.
So if you compare the GT1 to the Zeta, the GT1 should have less noise.
But that is assuming the noise is actually from the suspension and not from something else.

25-09-2021, 01:31 PM #7The noise is definitely from the Europas, it's a very noticeable increase. Not a massive issue, but now that I'm doing lots of motorway miles I'd like to keep the cabin quieter. If the GT1 is an improvement over the Europas set on 3/4 hard then that is ideal.

The GT1 is very different to the Europa in many ways.
You will find it on a "sensible" setting, it will be more comfortable and responsive at the same time.
This is all due to the complex piston design…
It actually have 3 piston roll into one, and each section perform a different task at different speed.
Lets just say I am swapping out the set of Europa on my SC430 to the GT1.

Can we still adjust preload separately with the GT1?

25-09-2021, 02:33 PM #9Jerrick, I have absolute faith in your products, so please don't take any of my questions as anything more than curiosity from a customer. I've had a good look at the material you've made available on the website and it's all very interesting. I am looking to make some changes to the 300 suspension, which will (at some point) include moving to GT1 suspension.

I want to answer any questions, that is why I made this post.
So if you have any other concerns, just let me know.
Yes, the GT1 is build on the Zeta / Europa chassis.
So you still have the same springs pre-load / ride height adjustments.
The difference is when you ride on them, it will feel completely different.
I know I was about to tell the difference within 3 minute of driving the car when we were swapping the prototype around… it is noticeable.
