An evo and a s2000 are 2 completely different cars though so I don't think the opinion from an evo owner can count towards s2000s or even dc5s. Different cars, different owners.
Everyone has different uses. Some people think they're entering the BTCC when it comes to a track day
I have had two Evo's, regularly driven a third (with BCs on, which were pretty dire), I also owned an S2000 so I think I have a fair amount of experience behind the wheel of them.
I'm not going to get too involved with this, one because I don't have much first hand knowledge of the products in question and two because I don't want to detract from the OP or ruin the thread.
This is all meant in the nicest possible way (last thing this is aimed at is to flare anything up). But reading some of your posts Chris (nice name ) it seems that your contradicting yourself. You have in the past knocked people commenting on products without having first hand experience. But then in this thread it would be seem your doing just that (or so it would seem). Have you used yellows peed or Meisters on your car before?
It's all well and good saying you trust these motor sport people. But again that's against what you initially said about commenting on products with no first hand experience.
As spooke said people's perception and needs are so different, based up on what application they are using a product, that you don't want to just go out there slating a product without having used it yourself. Especially when budgets are mentioned.
As mentioned before I'm not having a pop I just feel that the contradiction was happening.
I'll he going for a set of Meisters Rs shortly (CRD+) and I'm confident I'll be happy with them.
I owned a DC5 with D2 coilover on, and have been out in a few cars with Meister R as well as having driven a DC2 with YellowSpeeds on. From what I understand, they're all pretty much the same and made in the same factory with the same items. Just the branding is different.
Having owned DC5 with such a coilover, and then switching straight away to refreshed OEM dampers and Eibach springs, the quality of the ride and feel of the car was much improved. Actually just had someone message me on Facebook asking if I had my OEM suspension for sale still as he's bought a Teg with Meister R's and can't wait to remove them.
I get that some people just want something firmer or to replace tired OEM items and that's fine. As long as the car is low and doesn't clunk then job achieved. But it's these people who then say yeah the product is amazing on forums where the problem lies. One poster in here said he thought Meister R are a UK brand and they have an excellent reputation. Not really true that is it, but that's the power of sales and forums for you.
Do a search on most people who have changed from the cheaper Taiwanese based brands to something more premium and you will see that the general concencus is that these owners are much, much happier.
All I'll say is ring someone like Tom at TGM, Rich at Performance Autoworks and ask them for their honest opinion.
