Has anyone used these?
I have skunk 2 coilover sleeves. Was wondering how this setup would be.

bro i've had d-specs and g/c sleeved coilovers on my car since 96 and i'm just getting ready to swap them out. d-specs are very nice struts... mine aren't blown or anything, but just getting worn...

ive had my dspecs (matched with h&r race springs) for nearly 40k miles and if this were a year ago, i would say that they are by far a great investment if your sticking with springs or coilover sleeves.
back when i bought the dspecs, racelands were not out yet. it looks like everyone is a happy owner of the racelands so i would save your money and go for them. you'll get height adjustability and a shock that matches the spring rates all in one. just my .02
also, fwiw, skunk2 sleeves do not fit over the front dspec shocks. i learned this from experience 2 weeks ago. the sleeve has a smaller diameter versus the dspec and won't fit around the shock body.

I don't have personal exp with skunk2 coilover sleeve... But I heard nothing but bad review... You'll be better off with tokico d spec over skunk2 sleeve
Great upgrade over oem n ride just like oem

if you're looking for performance more than anything, than i would stay away from the racelands and go with a solid setup of ground controls coilover sleeves with koni yellow shocks/struts (they both make custom spring rates/dampening rates to fit your ideal setup)....or if you're not sure what type of setup you're looking for, then go with teins, d2s, megan racing, buddy club full coilovers.
