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.

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.

Re: Raceland Coilovers
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.

Re: Raceland Coilovers
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
That's not my reasoning at all. The OP was asking specifically if anyone has used these and how they do; not what can I get for double the price. I gave the OP the answer he was looking for.

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.

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
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 **** 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.
