Raceland coilovers

[Hannamm]

Has anyone had any experience with running Raceland coilovers?
From what I've read they aren't to bad for daily driving but not so hot if your into autox, not that ill be doing any of that, just looking for anyone who's run them?

[peterm15]

A few on the forum do or have run them. Some are ok with them. Some not.

[soccerboy1491]

A year and a half I think I've had them and no complaints other than I wish springs were stiffer so I could go lower lol.

[Shinglez]

Dude search the forum. There are reviews/opinions everywhere

:facepalm

[silverstarmazda]

great bang for buck if you dont plan on beating the shit out of them.

[schmat66]

girlfriend has had them for 2 years... and we have had no problems at all with them.. love them FoXy on the other hand... hates hers

[Hannamm]

Awesome guys thanks for the feed back, and shingles if you read what I posted I've read other reviews but would like to hear from who's running them now, thank you for your input.

[FoXy]

I have them. Hate them, they are shit. Maybe I got a faulty batch but their customer service is BS and they won't do anything for you. My advice, spend a little more and get good springs and struts.

[silverstarmazda]

with raceland, your really only paying for the adjustable lowness of them. performance wise, theyre good enough for the streets but nothing else..

[FoXy]

They arent even good enough for that. After a while and too much rough roads they dont last.

[Hannamm]

And that's all I'm looking for is daily driving, right now I'm running stock struts and shocks on Corksport lowering springs and they ride fine I just don't want to have to put the stock springs back in every winter for the bit more height for my winter tires.

[Hannamm]

I'm put g the stock springs back in on Monday then put my Corksports up for sale.

[schmat66]

Then don't.

I run slammed in the winter.

[Hannamm]

What r u running peterm15?

[schmat66]

running low in the winter isnt a problem as long as you know where to go... dont go making new tracks.. follow others i rolled two years this low... with practically bald winters to add.... never stuck

Yes, she drives a honda, maybe they are better. Cant compare different vehicles. The ones for the 3 sucked when they first came out, they might be better now, who knows. Who cares.

[Hannamm]

Ok so I got my winter tires on today and things seem to be fine unless I turn it hard either way then it scraps abit, so we"ll see how the winter goes with any issues.

[peterm15]

Your fenders rolled?

[Hannamm]

No their not. When I turn the wheel to far it doesn't scrape on the fenders, just on the inner fenders plastics.

[peterm15]

Oh. My car does that all the time. I wouldn't worry about it.

[Hannamm]

Yeah think ill see how it goes but if this is as bad as it gets things should be ok.

i dont, but im on kws., if your on others i would.

[peterm15]

I dont. No problems as of yet and im on vmaxx.

[DLYDRVN]

I didn't run them last year. Had no issues on new Ksports. Rust free and no seizing of the collars

[r4mi5awi]

Anybody know where to buy coilover covers? Any vendors sell them?

[prolifik]

my friend has em, on his first gen speed, the ride i better than i expected but at that time, i had blown shocks on my car, so it was easy to compare. he had them for over 2-3 years now, always driven 4 seasons, not an issue so far
