Hey, just curious what amount of front camber you can get out of these with the pillow balls and the plates?
Have you gotten an alignment yet?

What amount of camber is possible with the GT1's on street tires?Sorry for the late reply as we have been waiting for some figures from our test car.
It seems just using the top plate can get you about -2.2 degrees of negative camber.
This was on a Civic Race Car with Honda Racing that we have been testing with, and as a endurance race car they didn't need any more camber than that.
Note that this is a race car on slick tires, so might measure slightly different than road car on road tries.
But this will give some idea of what the adjustable top mount can achieve.

As ride height also have a direct effect on camber angle, it is hard to give an exact answer.What amount of camber is possible with the GT1's on street tires?
Also, is it possible to get away with just a 15-20mm drop on the GT1's? I don't want any more than that.
How does street drivability compare between CRD+ and GT1? Spring rates?
Thanks
As I am no longer a trader here, I cannot put up links on where to buy.I'm curious, what is the price on these meister coilovers?
ahh, got it, thanks for the infoAs I am no longer a trader here, I cannot put up links on where to buy.
I can only supply information that are available in the open search engine.
MeisterR ZetaCRD+ for the Civic MSRP at $1250, but an initial offer is going on at the moment at $995 delivered.
They are designed for fast road and track use, so the suspension specification will be more geared toward road use.

can you explain a little more info about the damper settings? 4ft/2rr? what? lolThought I'd do a quick update after putting 10k miles on these coilovers.
These Meister-R's are riding very well. No issues or noises and the springs haven't settled anymore after adjusting pre-load after the first 4-500 miles after install. Collars are still easily adjustable, no rusting (i did apply some grease so that may have helped). I've also had the opportunity to do 2 long road trips (Sacramento>LA & Sac>Vegas). On the LA drive, I adjusted dampers from the 12ft/10rr I've been on to 6ft/4/rr. Those settings were pretty soft and smooth (comfortable). On my trip to Vegas, I set them to 1 all around on the way to Vegas and they were verrryyyyyy SOFT (a little too soft for me, kinda floaty ish). On the way back from Vegas, I adjusted to 4ft/2rr and I think I found my perfect long road trip settings. Long story short, these coilovers provide actual adjustments that can be felt.
I'll update again soon, as I will be testing some new springs for the rear (just to go lower). Also my new 3 piece wheels have finally come in with a more aggressive setup so I'll be posting new pics soon. Stay tuned.

Get ready to stretch some tires to fit 9.5 +22Thought I'd do a quick update after putting 10k miles on these coilovers.

Actually +15, and most def running a little stretch. Nothing too crazy 215/40/18's isnt too much. I've been running stretched for a bit now and have never split a tire or de-beaded since I'm not stretching more than 1.5" from recommended mounting widths. Besides I have a tire sponsor so that definitely helps.Get ready to stretch some tires to fit 9.5 +22
I have the same question.Great write up and the updates are appreciated.
Stupid question, how hard is it to adjust the rears? I see that the fronts are super easy, but the rears look like they could be a bit of a nightmare if they are at the top of the struts...feedback?
