Default Raceland coilovers with 16's or17's

Like the title says. Any one here sitting on 16 or 17 and are on Raceland coils? Been thinking about getting them and all the threads I see are with 19 inch wheels. If anyone has some pics it would be nice to see them.

I attached a picture of my Box dropped on Raceland Coilovers. Sitting with about an inch and a half left to drop in the front and one removed collar on the back. Riding on 17" Rota Grids with 225/45/17 kumho ecsta tires. I rub a little bit when I go too fast around some turns, but its minimal.

I would highly recommend reading the installation instructions very very carefully. Do not use a wrench to hold on to the piston; it will gouge it. It will void your warrenty. And it will make you have to replace it. Also, when tightening the top part of your black piece, do not use an impact wrench. It will pressurize it too much. It will void your warrenty. And it will make you have to replace it.

For the price, Raceland gives you a decent drop, but you have to be very careful installing their products. I am about to be on my 3rd replacement and I've had mind dropped a little over 2 months. It will get pricey if you do it wrong.

I should have just forked for the expensive set up. But if you are looking for decent pricing for a decent drop, Raceland is the way to go.

Hope this was helpful to you!

Thanks man. I do mechanic work. So I have access to everything to do it. Just mainly want something to go lower then my df210 to hold me over till I can afford air. But was wanting to see what it looked like. Think I'm gonna order them.

Hey, I am a lady, not a man

But yeah having all the tools is useful. I have a guy who drives racecars that lets me use his tools. But I learned really quick with Racelands that you need to follow their instructions very carefully.
Like I said though, great for a decent drop for a decent price.

Thinking about upgrading to air myself. Just don't know if I want to fork that much for a few inches lower. I already scrape on certain inclines/declines.

I can get you a few more pictures of mine if you want thought^^ Let me know if you do

Lol. Thank you ma'am. If you could get more pics it would be nice. Love the wheels you have. Been looking to get some blue ones myself. Everything on my interior is either blue or carbon fiber. So I wanna bring it outside. Thanks again for the help.

Just be aware, on 16's, you are MUCH lower than you realize. I scrape on EVERYTHING.

Yeah. Right now I'm on stock steels. I cracked two of my 17's. Been wanting to get the coils before I get new wheels so I can see what size I wanna go back with.

Ha You are very welcome lol
But thanks! Those are painted grids, so mine are custom. It's hard to find my blue, but if you are looking for darker, you'll have much better luck. Totally love blue themes. Doo iit lol

I'll try and resize some of my pics. They are all crappy cell phone photos right now, so until I wash the box and get better ones, this is all I've got. The first pic I attached is really what the color looks like; these other ones just doesn't do the color justice.

But roller_toaster is right. 16 will ride a heck of a lot lower. You may not want to pull them down as much, actually, you may not have to

Yeah looking at your. That is the drop I'm looking for. As for wheels I am looking for a slightly darker blue. My interior is done in GM Bermuda blue.

That does look hot! My rotas originally were that green. I figured if I curb rashed them, the green would be better to come through than something like bronze. But I do like how they look on the white :D

I'm on 16's off an Acura RSX. Here the racelands are all the way down in the rear without taking any collars odd and probably a half an inch from the bottom in the front.

If you autox/track the xb, ksports are VERY good, and prices seem to have dropped significantly recently.
