Raceland Coils for us xB2 guys..
#201
Obviously this has been asked a hundred times, but do the people that ride these really enjoy them? I wanted the DF210s as well (which seems to be the two most are looking towards) but the price of Racelands is hard to beat. Another question is do any of you plan on upgrading to 'better' coils or are you sticking with those? I'll get what I get but am just curious.

I know Shadezz still loves his Racelands. I have the Tein S-techs from Auto Anything. They are a great ride for a good price. BUT, they aren't adjustable. If you are going springs only, I recommend the S-techs. If you want coilovers, I have never heard a bad thing about the Racelands (from anyone who has actually run them).

Hayes is right....I love mine still and its a cheap option to get your xb lowered and adjustable for around the 300.00 range. I've had mine for over a year now and have about 18k miles of city and highway driving on them and there still working like a champ.

I was going to say call and ask if they can fedex. It might cost too much, but it's worth a shot.

You'd have to trust me a whole lot with your money, but if you'd like, you can ship them here and pay for shipping from here to you... I know it's a lot of money, but I would be willing to receiver them and reship them out.

Arrived today. Went ahead and removed the bottom collar, with hopes to not need the rear adjusters at all.
Will be running 205/55R16 on a 16x8 +25 Stance Mindset wheel. If my research is right, it should be just about flush, and only need a fender rolling.

As long as I have no fitment issues on the rear with no adjusters, I'll shoot you a PM.
I'm not one to raise back up, and have no plans to run any wheels bigger than 16's so I will never need them again pending fitment of x8 +25's

Alright, so install advice for the next victim... If you don't remove the rubber mount from the OEM dust shield, you're gonna have to get crafty.
My friend who's great with xb1's (not messed with 2's much) was doing the rear while I was doing the front. He ran into a problem with too much shock coming through the mounting spot. He tore them apart 3 times and tried new orders but none worked. I picked up the old bump stop/dust cover from the OEM shock, and told him to try putting the rubber bushing from it on first, then assemble. Sure enough, that's what was missing.
He searched a bit and found a few people making their own, but all you've gotta do is transfer the one off the OEM. Just a heads up.
Also, I am running maxed out and -1 collar on the front, just springs rear. I'm going to post up a good shot here once I recover from heat stroke and go take some before the sun goes down. So right after this post, there will be images.

Raceland Low.
My set up: Modded front struts. removed bottom lock collar, for the extra 1/2" lowering on the front. Rear is just Raceland springs, no collars/mounts and Raceland shocks. Basically, everything is at its lowest possible setting with modification. Tires are OEM 205/55R16.
