not really...

if they turn out to be pretty decent, but raceland decides to jack up the price, i wouldn't mind paying a little extra knowing that aren't crappy coilovers.

so if you decide to get them now you can let me know how it goes. Thanks again!

these coils become more and more tempting everyday...my hotchkis springs and tokico shocks aren't bouncy at all. The springs I have are very stiff. I don't get how they can be bouncy and stiff at the same time.

Ever ride on a lawn mower?

No suspension at all, cant get any stiffer than that. And those suckers are BOUNCY.

I dont mind my car riding like a JohnDeere as long as im stoopid low

These definitely look really good... and people use them for BMWs and VWs and hardly any issues yet... I dunno... I gotta do more research on the company and the rest of their product to see if everything else is up to par

Make sure you read the fine print...
Raceland offers a 2 year warranty with free replacement if properly installed by a licensed mechanic.

Expect a couple hundred, at least. Though you could maybe save some of the labor cost if you yank out the interior yourself so they already have access to the bolts and such. The rear interior is a time waster to have to remove for this stuff.

Yeah your probably looking at $150-$250 fo install depending how cool the shop is. According to Raceland who I emailed, all you need is a reciept of install from a shop. I'll be ordering these in a week or 2 depends if my work screws up my paycheck again. But either way I'm making the dive, the team at raceland was really cool with answering questions I had and the biggest I asked is why so cheap? There answer "
were trying to sell them as cheap as possibe and break into the scion world like we have the VW." Thats direct from their email response.

I've been considering trying them for autox... but I really don't want to bother spending the $$ right now. I'd really just rather get H&Rs for next year.

I think I'll be getting these in the next 10 days.
