    Just ordered the raceland coilovers

    I hope to god they work good LOL. I needed to change the suspension and where about all i could afford. The company was very professional. The teck guy seemed pretty honest when asking questions about them.

    Anybody here have them? Ill be the Guenna pig LOL. My H&R's will be for sale then.

    mine are sitting on my couch. no booklet manual or anything. just straight suspension and a slip of paper guiding you to which spring perch should be used. but raceland customer service was awesome. As far as build quality, it doesn't look super, but comparing with pictures of other coilovers on the market, i'd say the "design" for manufacturing is similar to tanabe's. Although, internally may be a different story.

    i have had them since last august and i am still happy with them. I daily with them with some occasional spirited driving and i couldnt ask for more with the price that they offer.

    important note......... have an alignment shop ready for you once you install them because the toe angle will be horrible.

    Just threw mine on today. Haven't really gave them a proper run but they handled the horrible Ontario roads pretty well. I'd say coming from original stock suspension (2003) these are much sharper and comfortably stiff if that makes sense. You aren't rattling your brain out with these but they give a great amount of road feedback. I can tell you I had $1,000 coilovers on my old GTI VR6 and these are easily on par with them. Lets see how they hold up!

    seriously... haha it was bad. did anyone else's rear keep settling for like a week? while the front didnt drop a mm at all? i thought it was weird. i went from tucking 1/4 of tire to tucking wheel... haha
