Hey everybody! This is my first thread and I hope it benefits everyone who is trying to get good, cheap suspension upgrade.
As many of you might know, Raceland (www.racelandus.com) manufactures coilovers for a few different cars, and they are mostly around $300-$400. I am trying to get them to develop a set for our cars, and that is where I need your help. I am sure they will develop the Coils if there is enough demand, so all I ask is for members to try and contact them about developing this product that all of us can take a great advantage of. Well, this is about it. I will try to post this up on different forums to spread the word. I hope this works out! Thanks for taking the time.

i remember a friend looking at these and instantly wanted the option for my xD. would love to see this happen.

My buddies racelands didn't last him four months on his tC, he had 2 blown struts. IMO, racelands aren't worth the effort. Pay a little more for something that's going to last.

The thing is, they would develop the Coils if they had a demand for them, since nobody says anything they don't bother doing it. And they could even sell it for the XD and Yaris at the same time, only with different spring rates. So they have to believe that there is demand in order to manufacture this. All I'm saying is drop them a note in the "contact us" and soon they should do something about it.

Regarding the quality of their product, I'm confident that is not the horrible, cheap stuff everybody wants to make it sound it is. VW guys have them and love them, and those guys have the most agressive attitude towards lowering their cars, so if they approve it I am sure it's got to be at the very least decent, and for the price they sell it, it is a no brainer deal. Hope to get this going.

Ok guys, I sent Raceland and email earlier today and this is what they replied:

"Upper management definitely is considering making the Scion XDs, but their decision process has many variables and demand is just one of them. Of course demand puts the option on the table but the other factors do come into play. We have included your email in the information they will review during the decision process, but please keep in mind - once a decision is made it takes another 8 months for the new product to be released.

Sincerely,
Raceland USA"

I think it is some progress, but I can't do much more than this, so please let's help ourselves and our fellow XD owners out and just show a little interest in this by contacting them. If I have any news I'll be sure to share.

I posted on this a long time ago, over a YEAR AGO...I had started a thread and had been in contact with them and got my hopes up...When you email them it goes to various people within their company and you will get different repsonses...I too had hoped they would make them for our cars but I found it very unlikely...Here is thread that has all the emails and contacts I had with them...They were also talking about using my car for the prototype: https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=172902

John,

We are currently working on our Scion line and hope to offer several options in the next several months. Our xB coilovers are almost ready. We have not even dived into the xD yet but will start gathering information at some point. Please check back with us at a later date as we may have more information.

i have no idea how that works, as far as i know the yaris and xb1 do not share the same suspension, so the same kit shouldnt work for both. but if it does in fact work on the yaris it should work for us.

xD_kidd91

I agree. I believe the xb1 and xa have same suspension but not with the yaris .. The reason they might have included the yaris on their site would be that yaris has another generation before the u.s spec yaris in 07 that might have the same suspension as xb1.

xDTool

yea the echo (yaris in other countries) may have the same suspension as an xb1, but im about 95% sure its not the same as the yaris that shares the same platform as the xD
