Raceland coilovers

These coilovers give you a decent drop I would say 3 front and 3 1/2 rear , and the ride quality is damn good can't complain I do recommend this coils if your on a budget.

Anyone else have these? The price looks good and I'd get these if they ride better than my fe5 ssc setup

If you want a car that handles good these arent for you. If you just wanna get low and dont care about handling go for it. Racelands are cheap for a reason.

These are going to ride like crap, fail early, and handle like a wet noddle on ice.

Coil overs cheaper than stock fe5 struts and shocks are always a bad idea.

I thought Raceland only made the shocks and spring perch and you had to source the springs. In which case you could get some good quality springs for autox or road racing

It is a full bolt in coil over; it is a new venture in ruining cars for Raceland.

Im assuming they are designed to ride soft, is this true?

For some reason a lot of people want to lower their car an extreme amount and expect not to lose ride quality so thats what im assuming Raceland was aiming for. They dont care about handling or longevity.

2 of the last 3 posts were yours. Both were negative and really not necessary in this thread.

Stop shitting on his coils. Don't buy them for yourself.

Wouldn't say the second comment was negative, just honest input.

Exactly. Regardless if they're good or bad, people should be happy that another company is helping out the aftermarket for this platform. In my opinion if you want to slam your car and don't ever intend on tracking it then those look like they are doing the job. I know many people that have had nothing but good things to say about their racelands.
