Car looks sick man xD
I just installed mine a few days ago and the front ones are really noisy. It's like a loose rattling sound. I double checked to see if everything was nice and tight and everything was. Are they supposed to be noisy? This is my first time ever having aftermarket coilovers so I wouldn't know. Help ?

My rattle came from the top hats. Once the car is down off the jack stands, you need to tighten those again. Also, you have to reuse your old bump stops.

Yeah I reused the old bump stops and i tightened the top hats once it was off the jack stands, still making sounds. Not as noisy as before but the noise is still there.

not sure, I have heard of some people reusing the factory dust sleeves to eliminate the rattle

So upon doing some research (parts searching) xtec auto usa now makes/ has Adjustable Rear upper control arms for our cars and they are reasonably cheap when compared to 2tcornot2tc (sp), not dissin what you have done 2tcornot2tc but are more on reasonable price point.

those are also (allegedly) generic ebay honda parts that were trimmed to fit.

a couple companies, like SuperTek and a couple more are working on a legit set

Just got my coilover today from raceland I was looking over the instructions they provided it said something about cutting the rubber piece that goes with the top hat said u had to trim off a piece and it was highlighted and it stated that it needed to b done if u wanted the install to b correct. Just wondering if u ran into this and if u trimmed ur rubber piece sorry idk what ita technically called lol

First sheet was a warning

Next sheet at the top says " scion tc2 rear installation"

#1 the oem rubber spring insulator pad will need to be trimmed in order to mount properly. Trim the highlighted area.

#2 the oem dust cover will nees to be trimmed in order for the upper shock mount to install properly Trim the cover where shown.

You said you had Tein S-Techs prior. How do the Racelands coils compare to the S-Techs in ride quality and performance. I searched and all I found is the quick mention of performance in your inititial post.

yours came with instructions because to many people complained about it not coming with them

KillerXtwo

did yours come with a decal too?

Tc13

Mine came with slight instructions and a decal I had a custom one made already that looks better imo.

I'm considering getting these for my tc. Now that you have had them for a while, how is the quality over a long period of time?

Dang I haven't replied here in a while.

Mine didn't come with instructions either. I'm not sure if they forgot to put them in mine or if they just started putting instructions in there or what.

The racelands blow the s-tech's away as far as ride quality and performance go.

The quality was good while I had them on, but I only used them for 3 weeks until I decided to part out my car. These racelands as well as TONS of other stuff is for sale in my part out thread: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=220580

Obviously when u lower a car u should get an alignment. I have not has anyone got an alignment yet for the raceland sleeves. Im wondering how to get the rear in spec so my tires dont continue to wear horribly.from what ive seen read heard there is no camber adjustment
