As the one guy said you have to call them to see if there is a certified installer near you, you cant just go to any shop and get them put on. So what do you do if there isn't a shop near you?

Yeah but just make sure its a Raceland approved shop. Otherwise it doesn't matter who installed them they still wont honor the warranty unless its an approved mechanic. I don't really have the money to buy a nice set of coilovers and my stock struts are a little shtty. I think I'm going to go ahead and buy these and hope for the best. How well do you think the finish would hold up thru the winter? I'm thinking of painting the housings for extra protection.

Also I would just save the money you would have to pay for install, and if the coilovers crap out before the 2 years just buy a new set.

not reali coz they honored mine.. they replaced my rear ones.. all they ask is a proof that you got it installed from a shop such as receipt.. all they did is ask for the copy and boom they sent me the new ones and the guy from raceland named cody also paid for the return shipping of the old ones..

Whats up Hung! Yea I have these coil overs-SOOOOOO cheap and havent had any problems yet.....besides scraping from being too low....I would post some pics but the car is off the road for a motor build for sumemr 2010. They dropped the price even lower now. I think they are only like $275 shipped! And if something did happen, a whole complete set is only $275 so what the hell.
