lol no i was barely moving lmao i had my foot on the brake and clutch just creeping and i heard the most godawful sound i have ever heard (mix between a grinding, crunching and screaming lol) and looked out of the car and saw my fenders folded in 3 spots

 

uh I wouldve shat a diamond.

Then proceeded to plunder and pillage for CF fenders lol

 

lol thanks for the heads up davedave. actually going off the driveway the first time i cut the wheels all the way and felt the tires rubbing the fenders. It was def. an awful sound haha

 

D1GP show was pretty tight, I actually saw your ride in person.

 

How do you like the racelands so far?

 

I like them alot, i've been scraping everywhere though. I need to raise up the rear a bit, and raise it up all around once the snow starts flying. Otherwise I love how they ride.

 

car looks sick! keep up the good work.

 

Do they seem like they are cheaply made??

 

they dont seem cheaply made to me, but ive never seen a pair of high quality baller coilovers in person so i dont really have anything to compare them to.

 

Hmm..

You should have someone in Illinois take a look at them to see if they are cheaply made.

I'm extremely tentative..

 

I should...I think walterego is swinging by one of these days so I can install eyelids for him, maybe he can take a peek at them.

 

Good idea!

I trust Walter's word.

I hate to bother you so much about them..but I guess that's what you get for being the guinea pig! Ha

I want to see what they look like riding on stockies..
Do you happen to have stocks layin around?

If not that's cool..

How much farther do you have left to drop all around?

How much are rated to drop by Raceland?

 

Well I do have a set of stockies in the basement but there are no tires on them...but my sister does have stockies. I spose I could throw hers on my car for a couple pix if I find time. I'm pretty busy this week though.

In those pix there is only about 2 threads left to go down which is barely anything so there pretty much lowered as much as they can go. Though they have only been on for a week today so I'm assuming the springs will settle just like other springs.

As far as what Raceland recommends to drop... I have no idea haha.

 

Cool cool man, sounds good.

Just let me know.

 

these are def on my birthday spending list hahaha

 

Wow the racelands drop pretty nicely. They look like the same drop that function and forms have. but i don't think you have the adjustable shock do you? I was thinking about getting a set just for ish and giggles, but then i remembered that my fronts came with adjustable top hats so i will pass.

My friend actually just got some racelands for his golf 4 and we slammed them all the way and they go real low! He was tucking half of his tires and he has 15's. Crazy i know but its true. they are also bumpy as well

The fronts will definitely go lower once they settle. Maybe a 22.5 inches from the floor to top of the fender? maybe even lower.

And you said your slammed in the front right? Well judging from this pic:

Hoping that these pics are exactly like the ones you received, The only way to go lower in front is to exchange the rear springs with the front.

If you measure them, the rears appear to be shorter so that might lower it more and make it even out with the rears. That's if you wanna try it though.

Damn that was long haha.

 

^^^ Well i hope the fronts do settle some. I would like the front to tuck as much as the rear is right now. If they don't settle to where i want i wonder if it is possible to just get those rear springs from raceland because they do look shorter than the fronts.

 

Or you could sell them?

 

Nice Ride!!!!!

 

that show was awesome. I talked to someone with SE asking about your dash led conversion. I'm located in milwaukee did you send your dash somewhere or is it somewhere local... nice ride btw man it was my favorite SW there
