Exclamation Raceland Coilovers - New

Okay people;

I have been keeping an eye on the raceland coilover discussion on the 130+ page thread. I have noticed a lot of positive remarks and a few people with negative remarks.

I only want to hear from people who either are currently using these coils or has previously used them.

Simply put the other thread is full of a bunch of haters who think price = quality although they never actually used the product.

If you want to continue with random hate please use the other thread; if you have some factual data to post with real experince please post it up.

I am planning on trying these coils out and will post my results from day one on in this thread. I am waiting for the snow to clear out first.

Thank you if you can please abide by the rules I set forth for this thread.

I have them. I have mine as low as they can go with both spanners i didnt cut my bump stops either. I didnt oil/lube them like people say needs done. I drive on them pretty spirited everyday. And I have not had one problem at all. No weird noises or anything. And for being lowered all they way they really dont ride that bad i like the kinda stiff ride so its all dandy with me. But I have nothing but good things to say about these coils.

i have them too. they've been on for about two months and i agree with everything aj said. i'm at like 7 threads left in front and 10 in back. when i first installed they made a creaking noise sometimes when i would go up driveways and bumps but they stopped after a week or two. i would say so far they're def worth the money for daily driving

Thanks guys for the good posts.

As for the price of other coils; no one cares. If I wanted to pay 8x as much for my car I would have gotten a Audi.

I am considering gettign a set......for the price,mind you they cost as much as my springs did......and they give the option for me to drop the car lower for shows and back to normal ride height for daily driving.......

That in its self seems well worth the $250 for them.Quality......they seem honestly to be doing fine for nearly everyone using them........my guess is most of the ones that bust are dumped all the way down and not allowing good travel of the strut,any thing dripped all the way down will wear faster.

They look like a good item honestly.

Happy New Years everyone, just installed my set yesterday and its riding great, need to tighten a loose top mount but everything is beautiful! Ride is awesome much more comfortable than s-tech and stock shocks. I'm about 5-6 left on my fronts, and 7 left on my rear. Handle definite plus, minimaln body roll. will post pictures soon as i wash!

i'm running pretty low with my drop. Im on 18x8.5 axis reverbs with 225/45 and i think a 35 offset? not too sure its been a while but when the springs settle i'll have the perfect drop to poke but with a better offset it'd be perfect

anyone WTT for axis reverbs?
