Re: Raceland Coilovers
My ex had them. Bought them used for $250 with 3k on them, no problems. She drove on them and lived on a dirt road for about 5k more miles, still no issues.
I have the Rokkors on my Miata (same brand but stiffer springs), and so far so good. :thumbup: |
Re: Raceland Coilovers
thanks man i wanna lower my eg and my boy told me about these they seem pretty legit tho. Thank you

Re: Raceland Coilovers
No problem. I wouldn't trust them at the track. That's for sure. But for a daily or show, they are a good low cost option in my opinion. :thumbup:

Re: Raceland Coilovers
yeah i hear you once they have been proven on the track then i will take my car there lol but for now it seems like a + route for me to go : )

Re: Raceland Coilovers
my buddy has them on his rsx and complains about how bouncy they are :shrug:

Re: Raceland Coilovers
Rokkor, Raceland. Sub-standard suspension. Cheap knock-offs. Might as well by Ebay coilover sleeves and Drop-Zone shocks.

Re: Raceland Coilovers
If you just want to lower your car, you're probably better off with stock shocks and Ground Controls honestly. Then at least when your stock shocks blow you can upgrade to something decent like Tokiko whites, or Konis if you can afford them.
I would shy away from a suspension that costs about $100 per corner. Think about it, after markup how much could those possibly cost to make? $50 per coilover? And you'd trust your life with that? |

OP, if you want to spend the same amount of money on just GC coils with stock struts (bouncy as hell, I know. My Civic has that setup), then go for it. |

Yeah, some have blown with in 1,000 miles. That's why there's a 3 year warranty.
If you're a cheap SOB then get these for your car and you can justify it all day long. There's a good reason why there's truth to the saying "You get what you pay for". Most of you people have never ridden on a decent suspension in the first place to know what a "good" ride is supposed to feel like. There are 14 year olds that I teach that know better. |

So that makes them a good buy? How do you figure? Really. I'm just trying to understand the logic behind it. I know that I wouldn't want to try and see a shyster company like this honor a warranty, or not.

Re: Raceland Coilovers
I see sets of used Teins and Apex N1s going for $600 in the marketplace. I really see no reason to buy these.

Re: Raceland Coilovers
I actually like singlecamslamed, so I'm being nice for once.
He's just such a ricer! :P |

But the reasoning is "Why buy those used for twice as much when I can get a new shiny set brand new for half that?".

Re: Raceland Coilovers
Lmao thanks guys if I could afford top of the line stuff all the time I'd have the sickest EG ever but unfortunately I'm not rich nor wealthy so I go with what I can afford thanks for all your help guys
|
Re: Raceland Coilovers
^ What's your reasoning? I posted useful information in this thread. You post meaningless bullshit 24/7.

Re: Raceland Coilovers
Who cares about a 3 year warranty, idk about you guys but I don't want to be pulling Raceland/Rokkor/etc coilovers out of my car every few thousand miles just so I can have them sent out to be replaced.

http://www.racelandus.com/ Don't make the same mistake many of us make by buying stuff because you have to "slam" your car right now. What's the big rush? Take your time, save your money, and get a really nice setup that has a LIFETIME warranty, like the AMR's. Had I just went straight to AMR, I would've saved $700. |
Re: Raceland Coilovers
^^^^^^ thanks bro

Re: Raceland Coilovers
The whole "this is all i can afford" thing really pisses me off.
You don't need coilovers, you want them! Save for a few more weeks/months and buy the product that is going to last a long time. Koni/gc cost twice as much, sure, but not only does it have a lifetime warranty both compaines back their products!! Another thing to look at, Ground control slip on coilovers cost as much as the whole Raceland setup. Does this not say something to you? This shit is simply too cheap to be quality. |
Re: Raceland Coilovers
They might work a for a little while but think about the materials being used. Look up the blackworks debacle, imagine your shocks disintegrating while driving.
