1st 50mi on Raceland coilovers

[Stock99ex]

Just got the raceland coilovers installed yesterday. I really like them actually. I think i may roll the rear fenders or raise it a quarter of an inch all around due to some rub on bigger bumps. However ride quality really isnt to different considering im far from factory. 16x7 +38 wheels, 205-45-16 tires, and lowered close to 2". Pics will be posted later today. It rides a little stiffer, but it really isnt bouncy and it is very tolerable. I will be raising it this weekend though

I have a friend who just installed some Raceland coilovers and the welds are breaking after about 6 weeks. Make sure to inspect them regularly.

I've heard too many bad things to even consider buying a set of these.. best of luck, throw up some pics already!

Thanks everybody. I have been busy with work and havent had time to take pics. I will be tomorrow and this weekend after i raise it a little bit. They feel great. No complaints so far. SORRY ABOUT THE PICS...

Yeah what Blayze2010 said. Full coilover.

UPDATE: Over 2k mile review. I still love them, they make a little noise due to the metal on metal i believe. They are super adjustable as i found out. At first my tires rubbed a little bit so I thought i raised it 1/2" on the threads... turns out i lowered it more. So i went to adjust just the front and ended up lowering it and 1 1/2"... My tires were an inch inside the wheel well. I fixed it the next day and now to this day they are great. They only make some noise on really rough, Burrillville roads. Well worth the money!

To this day no problems at all with them. The noise i thought they were making is actually my rear sway bar links... So for precautionary measures I will be doing thoughs and the bushings. Rides good though for being so low and cheap!
I live where most of the roads suck too and they are holding up fine.
I still recommend them for a d.d.

Only 5 months later so you might still be around... and updates? Do you drive aggressively?

 

[Stock99ex]

I'm around haha
After about 20k miles they are still great for the money. I drive as responsibly aggressive that you can with a stock d. I love on and off ramps, usually 60mph is no problem even on the tight ones, no sign of slipping or understeer. I have Yokohama S.drives that help alot too though

 

[TigBitties]

i know plenty of people with racelands and i have yet to see an issue with them and they ride good even when they are all the way down

a lot of honda people hate raceland, but very few have experience with them

 

[Stock99ex]

Yeah for the money you wont get anything even close to it. They can take a bit of a beating to on New England crappy roads. haha
VW people seem to swear by them if they aren't on bags...
