Hey everyone,
So I'm looking at getting some coilovers, and I know everyone thinks "Raceland could are so cheep they must be crap" I'm wondering if I can get opinions from people who are actually using them. I've tried to research what people think of these coils, and so far I've heard good things. If anyone can put some 2 cents in, I (and I'm sure lots of other people who are thinking about putting raceland a in) would appreciate the feedback. I drive about 40,000km a year, daily driven, I drive it in the winter. It is a 2012 mz3 gs- sky. If this has been answered in another thread please delete this thread.
Thanks for your input in advanced!

I wouldnt go for racelands, espicically in the wintery months with all the salt. I paid more and went for KWs because they have the coating that prevents rusting and seizing. I have driven my car in the winter, and no corrosions. I dont want to keep changing my coils every year, so I rather pay more and just do it once. However, if your car is only driven in the summer, sure, go for it.

hope that helps

Lasted a couple years but yeah. Ran them year round almost all the way down.
Rear struts suck tho. The rear springs broke too I found out when I scrapped it.
