• I've got an unknown brand thicker ARB at the front, came off an import with no sticker on it, so no way of telling who made it...

    My coilovers are HSD Monopro with the top mounts that come with them.

    Meister R are good from what I've heard from many people.

    For the everyday normal user, the options are basically monotube vs dual tube. I know Jerrick from Meister R extols the virtues of dual tube constantly, or at least he did a few years ago, but the main pro vs monotube is increased stroke and comfort. Monotube will be better on track because the oil and gas resist heat better, but you get a stiffer ride as a result, but more expensive models will generally be monotube so make of that what you will.

    Aside from the DT vs MT scenario, most offerings around the £700-£1,000 are the same, lookout for added extras like galvanised threads and remote damping adjustment.

    Above that price range you're getting into 2 and 3 way adjustable suspension, I wouldn't be paying more than 1k and not getting 2 way adjustable. That's MX5s/other normal priced car prices, suspension for expensive cars is much more expensive (unsurprisingly).

  • Thanks for that - having a browse at the sale ad for my Eunos apparently it has unrated anti-rollbar and links, although will have to investigate if this means aftermarket or JDM. Looking on the Meister R site all sets are monotube which is good to know - thanks for that info.

    I know realistically it's not going to get turbo'd or supercharged ever/soon but spending £800 on coilover seems worth it as they're all about handling. Thanks again

  • Have a look underneath, it may have stickers on the ARB.

    The links could be uprated strength and standard length (I've broken a droplink jumping kerbs on track) or they could be stronger and shorter - so the right length for a fixed reduction in ride height, rather than variable.

  • I know this is a boring answer but have you spent any time on track/ driver training? 800 quids worth of training will gain you more than coil overs. Although I do appreciate the desire for shiny new bits.
