      you really can't beat the price....$$$$ 240 dammmm... what do you even have to loose... even if they did bust every 3000miles... its only $$$240...
      and just throwing it out there, ive heard numerous of bad stories about top end coilovers such as tien, eibach..not even going to mention ksport..blah... so really if you are on a budget..
      i would say that would be the best bang for your buck $240 you can ever spend... coming in close 2nd is kpro for $950

      i caved in and bought it today after so many positive remarks on raceland's customer service.

      What else is recommended with this kit?
      I am considering buying two new front suspension mounts (tophats/bearings).
      At 1.5" drop, I probably need a rear camber kit? Will I need a roll center adjustment lower ball joint? Anything to prevent further noise from my steering rack?

      I have a small update for you guys . . . not a very good one. I blew the rear coilovers driving on the 101. Let's just say everything is clunking, squeaking and grinding; it doesn't absorb any bumps as of right now, but I have yet to remove them to check them out (going 70 and hitting a pot hole/bump is not a good idea LOL).

      Charles: on 215/40s w/ 17", do you feel the heavy bumps especially @ 40 mph? In your opinion, can it handle small dips or bumps @ 40 mph?

      GTImortFan: on 55 series w/ a 3" drop, how noticable are the bumps?

      Do you guys get any noises coming from them?

      I feel pretty much every bump. But i have hit so many pot holes since i had them on, and they are still holding up fine. They can take some abuse. I have some noise coming from the driver front side when making 3 point turns, but i think my tie-rod is bad since i ripped the boot during installation.

      quite honestly.. the thing rides like stock for me.. even when i was dumped.. i had SHG Easy E drive my car and he was like" wow.. these are really 250?" .. the best way i can describe them is that they feel like stock suspension no matter the height.. and the only noise i had was break in noise..

      exactly.

      i went with my friend to San Bernardino in his CD5 on Tein Flex coils last nite (i drive to San Bernardino daily for school) and the Racelands felt the same as the Teins.
