lol at a vr6.....lets put a big heavy motor in a big heavy car and have the most understeer ever.....You do know that every golf from the mark III on weigh as much as a c5/c6 corvette? Sorry, I biult vdubs for years and had to move on cuz the dam things just got to heavy

bambol

amen to that, and im not gona lie, all the vdubs i see around my area just get spanked.

ON A LIGHTER NOTE..

i think im going to wait it out and see what happens to charleso's ep since i also live in cali, southern cali so weather is pretty much the same all year, but good post, id like to see more posts on this thing negative and positve. cause i dont even have my ep back yet and this would be great to save up for when i get springs.

charleso

quick update. the coilovers are still holding up strong after almost 5 months, but i need new tierods. Im planning on getting the steering arm riser from crsx to help straighten out the arms

bambol

charles what size are your rims?

charleso

they are 17s with 215/40/17 tires

If it sounds too good to be true then it probably is. Even if they they do ride "nice" and whatever I'm sure the quality of parts is really low to make up for it. I'm sure they do feel nice but if you were to ride in a car with those coilovers and then ride in a car with Konis you would probably think differently. Of course they are going to feel great compared to blow struts.

On the other hand. I spent 600 bucks shipped on my Konis and I LOVE them. I am just using them with B-G progressive springs which aren't the best but they are still wonderful! I love being able to adjust them and although I can't raise and lower my car whenever I want I would never do that anyway so I don't care.

I'm going to keep an open mind about these things until a long term test has been conducted on them and then I will make my opinion.

As for the OP. I hope they work out for you. That would be great to have a company committed to great quality parts for a great price. But I just don't understand how a part that everyone charges 800 bucks for (at the least) can easily be sold for 1/4 of the price.

Good luck!

charleso

there still doing good. Im not telling everyone that there the best thing in the world, just a cheap(money wise) alternative that does a good job. Ill keep you guys updated

ummm... is this thread about raceland coilovers or what?

josh's ep3

Keep it on topic fellas.

bambol

just a noob question. if spring rates on these are bad could i just use another set like h&rs?

kobeballer96

thats what im riding on, they not my cup of tea tho i want stiffer so im getting Megan racing coilovers

bambol

so youre on racelands with h&rs? or just on h&rs on stock shocks?

Cheep3

Springs on coilovers are made for the CO not the car. Unless H&R makes a dedicated coilover spring (?) the ones that fit a stock strut won't fit the Raceland CO. Some companies do make various interchageable coilover springs (GroundControl comes to mind). I too would be curious if there are any available "repacement" springs for the Racelands. It would probably void their warranty though...

Charisma

No, you could however, have a set of custom springs made for the coilovers...

There's a company here in Baltimore that I've used before for that, Road Magnet.

bambol

oh will the h&rs not fit or what? how much do you think those custom made springs run for?

kobeballer96

h&r on stock strut = dumbest thing i have ever done. i was gonna get toktico blues but im just save the extra couple of hundred dollars for my coilovers and six spd tranny and my 225 50 16 tires and a valve lash i cant wait!! it feels really stiff like stiff over bumps lol but i think im just hitting the bump stops idk but who cares im getting rid of them, but handles way way way better then stock i can take turns twice as fast without have my rear end side out like it use to.

RIde Looks Good @ 1.5". Is this for front and back. Also what brand?

uclid

Hey what Hatch wing do you have and where did you get it?

bambol

read the OP and you'll find out, and try to keep it to one post, cause posting two things 3 minutes away from each other is just a

charleso

where in norcal are you from?

uclid

humboldt county

markspan6243

another noob question. what exactly are spring rates? i have know yellows with skunk2 lowering springs, and i was thinkin about getting these since they are full coilovers. some one tell me if this is a good idea. oh and what does it mean if my front strut creaks a little?

DaveSi677

Skunk2 is probably the worst thing you could of done to your car! Garbage!!!!!!!!!!!

Gtimportfanatic

im done vouching for this setup.. 6 months on my car ... 9,000 miles.. i am still satisfied, and they ride better than my TeinStech/tokico blues setup
