Im sorry but Racelands are not worth the money. Why pay for something that performs less. If you are serious and actually want something worth every penny, get the Dan Gardner's limited Progess Coils. It is being sold only by Dezod.

You cant be serious. Racelands are very cheap and they are worth every penny you pay for. No they aren't the smoothest ride but they are good for the price and go LOW!

I can not, will not myself roll with Raceland coilovers. It's design/style is not what I would go for if I want the ride height LOW. On it's thread there's been some that have blown the shocks for that reason. I don't know what the OP is going for with the car so I can't really make any recommendations. I'm still waiting for my coilovers to come on in and it's none of what's listed above.

Something to think about

That video offers some good information, lots of stuff to take note on =).

What are you looking for? Handling? Slammage?

i know right haha...i only got them because s.techs wouldn't go low enough, and higher quality coils cost $$$.
if you start talking about ride quality...you pretty much throw that out the window.
