Raceland Coilovers

[CJRamze]

Hi Chris
They look fantastic for the money!
I think I'm going to wait until you've covered a few thousand miles!
Let me know when you have and when you've been over a few rough bumps and I'll see how its going in a few months. I Dont want to spend £189 for them for last 6 months and ruin the top mounts

Cheers Chris.... From Chris

I have no idea.

Lets just say that the fronts are currently 'in' the arches

The rears are about level with the arch I think.

How are these going OP?

I would also be interested in how these are working out.

dont want to hijack here...but iv had my raceland coilovers fitted for 6months now..so far no problems , and went through the MOT yesterdays and they all looked fine .for the money there not too bad..

Had raceland coilovers on my last car, a honda civic ej9. Can't grumble, mine were £199 delivered from Belgium, came within 4 days of payment. I noticed one shock had a broken weld, so i emailed them, and they sent one out the same day free of charge. They're not the best, but certainly not the worst by a long shot. Ride is nowhere near as bad as some people suggest, and my civic was -70mm all round, and i have speed bumps round my way. Recommended

 

[Mattwood]

thanks for the input guys! certainly gives me something to think about, as i was looking at springs and uprated shocks - but for the price of these, i may have to give them a whirl

 

[chris4500uk]

These are still going strong, can't say that for the rest of te car, I need bearings and bushes replacing.

 

[Mattwood]

Again thats good to hear! Whats the ride like compared to standard? As long as it's not worse, then ill have to give these a shot i think

heres a link what they look like fitted........http://img29.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=coilovers009.jpg............they did'nt come yellow i painted them look a bit better!

Std setup is crap, as we all know.

I've still not have these setup 100% due to other issues, but already seem a lot better than std.

i bought a set of raceland and have had them on for around two months. I find them fine and not overly crashy over london humps . They are a little stiffer / harsher than the original manufactureres offering. The real litmus test for me regarding ride is if the missus or kids notice anything and to date no ones commented at all. longevity wise, i don't have an idea except for 165 quid and two years warranty ,i'll give it go.

Bump

They are the same mate, they are re branded racelands called rokkor I put mine on the other week, when you send payment it went to raceland and on the reciept it has a raceland stamp lol, they ride much better than standard and suprising comfy tbh and you don't need shorter droplinks

 

[CJRamze]

I hear lots of horror storys about a bouncy ride?
is that the case here?

 

[mazzerati]

They are a bit bouncy but no worse than the ap's my mate has or the avos That my brother has on his track fiesta tbh

 

[CJRamze]

Ah right, is that with the Cups out?
I dont think I could do that as my rear spacers are 25mm.
Are they less bouncy with the Cups in?

 

[mazzerati]

That's with cups out I wouldn't know with cups in cos I never bothered with them
