I heard mixed reviews about them. But you are used to riding on springs, so the difference in ride quality wouldnt be as bad as going from stock-RL. If you are looking to go as low as you can go, Rokkors are basically a sister company of RL but give you a little bit of a lower drop.

Tyler aka Optional is a local guy that has them on his car. Hopefully he can chime in or you can just pm him.

Same exact product but black springs.

There is an official thread here like RL's too:

I'm with cobija on this one. Racelands seem to have mixed reviews on quality and ability to handle, but everything I've seen on them is they are cheap and have pretty good customer service. If you aren't planning on flogging your car around a track, racelands/rokkor seem to fit the budget-conscious bill nicely.

Rokkor's go lower and I think have a 2-year warranty vs. Racelands 1-year warranty.

They're almost exactly the same thing physically, the only difference you'd notice is spring color.

And of course the pricing is a little different, just get whichever is cheaper. If you need help doing the install, lemme know.

I did a lot of research and read a lot forums and decided to give Raceland coils a try. Bought them and installed them about 3 weeks ago and they are pretty amazing for $350. They go really low too. This is a great product. Honestly!

Yeah, essentially the same coil. They are the exact same price for me with shipping directly off their websites. I also heard on another forum that under someone's credit card statement that after buying Rokkor's, the descirption for the payment said something in it about Raceland.

Buy it off their website or eBay.
