Raceland Coilovers

[mazzerati]

Probably not as they will be too short for the standard shock I would think

 

[cbrewer28]

Not to worry another 2 years and 8 months of warranty lol
i'm considering telling them it's knackered to just get a replacement for when this happens to me! Lol

how did you get a 3 year waranty they all say 2 years on ebay.

 

[cbrewer28]

I am thinkin about these but it just puts me off a bit being so cheap. is the handling of the car still as good as standard?

 

[mazzerati]

Mine aren't racelands.....well they are but called a different thing. The ones I bought are rokkor which are rebranded racelands. And those ones come with 3 year warranty

 

[cbrewer28]

ok did look for rokkor ones on ebay but non, think they must has gone back to raceland as there are loads of them!!

Just not to sure about them

some there

your decision what you do matey. I'm certainly not disappointed with mine

 

[cbrewer28]

yeh ok fair enough but is the handling still good?

 

[mick-fr]

How low can the racelands go? Im interested in a set but want it to be quite low, also worried about having to buy new droplinks etc to make them fit.

 

[mazzerati]

Handling is great yer can't fault it big improvement over standard.

When I emailed them they said 100mm front and 70 rear (different to what it states on the advert)
but these figures appear to be true judging by how low my car is. Front is in the arches and I have another inch of thread to go and back in just in the arches which the adjusters taken out!

If you look at my thread you can see how low it is

 

[mick-fr]

Thanks mazzerati

Im guessing mine might sit ever so slightly lower due to the increased weight? (big diesel lump)
Would look much better than it does now

 

[mazzerati]

Depends how you set them doesn't it tbh if you had it wound down to same as mine then yer lol. Got to be careful with your sump on a diesel I believe tho

 

[knight85]

seriosuly be carefull with your sump...

im lowered only 50mm on uprated dampers and springs and it can scrub on some speed bumps

You say you have taken out the adjusters at the back, im new to modding really so im not sure what they look like but can these be taken out ones fitted or before. and as they are called adjusters does this mean you can not change the height of the rear coilovers if removed?

 

[mazzerati]

They just sit under the spring so it no big job to take em out afterwards if you want too.
And no there isn't no adjustment now. But it
takes about another 3/4" off the ride height at the rear alot of people do it tbh

 

[cbrewer28]

ok thanks 4 that. So if the adjuster is out will the coilover sit at the lowest setting ?

 

[mazzerati]

That's correct yes

 

[cbrewer28]

ok thanks 4 that mate ! Seriously considering givin them a go

 

[cbrewer28]

anyone else used these coilovers and like or dislike them ?
