Hey I contacted Raceland about the possibility they might produce a coilover kit for the 1st Gen xB. because I have a lot of friends with 1st Gen xB's and it would be nice to see a set of coilovers that are cheaper so people can test the waters without paying a G for something that wont really suit their lifestyle and will re-sell immediately.

Anyhow if you have a 1st Gen xB please contact them if your interested, they said if enough people contact them with genuine interest they would consider making a run of these coil-overs. since the tC's are about $240 these would be good for starter users.

Oh and they warranty these as well (surprised me)

Well if your interested here's their contact page. http://www.racelandus.com/t-contact.aspx

Hope it helps

that's awesome news. i may be a guinea pig for them

 

Wow thats an awesome deal! I wonder if they can make one for my fj cruiser, to lift?? I wish i can buy a set of coilovers for that price.

 

They are getting lots of requests for the first gen coilovers, this thread has been over on CxB drumming up lots of interest.

COOL. theres a thread like this on clubxb and ive emailed them as well as probably 25 others.

 

oops sorry, was just trying to help i hope it gets more feedback. i drive a tc so its more for other people than me.

 

oh no, this will definitely help, seeing as some first gen owners dont go on club xb. but this will def help.

 

ok cool!!! if this works out some of my friends can try out coil overs that are at least new. with a warranty instead of going ebay....ahem which i am addicted too......seriously.......

I'M SAVING YOU PEOPLE. don't you understand!!!! lol jk

 

yep. i just don't wanna drop 800 bucks on some coils.

 

same here. realistically im not that picky about adjustable ride stiffness. maybe when i start autocrossing i will pick up a set of more fancy coils. but for now i just would like to change the height easily for the sake of seasonal challenges like heaps of snow or lowering it a lot at a show for a while.

if they prove to be more than well look at that i just saved a lot of money and trouble.

 

^Exactly! Most people only want height adjustability, I couldn't justify dropping 900 on a set, you can almost build a air setup for that. I got my used Progress for 350.00, and they have no adjustablity except for height. I would have much rather bought a brand new set for under 3 hundie. The more people that see this and contact them, the better!

 

hmmm....these seem pretty solid...and the deal as well!

 

so far the people who have gotten them for the tC are having pretty good luck with them....the few who have had issues have gotten replacement without hassle......not bad for $250.
