Well I have been following along the tC suspension forums and reading about the Raceland coilovers and it seems the tC owners are extremely happy with them...For the price (less than $300) they can't be beat...I know, sounds to good to be true but I read all 70 pages last night and it seems everyone is happy...It also looks like the VW folks are rocking them too...

So, I took it upon myself to email Raceland and express interest in these coilovers and ask them if they had plans on making these for the Scion xD...Here is the email I got back from them...


Thanks for your question,

We actually are looking into manufacturing for that car thank you for the suggestion keep checking our website for future product: www.racelandus.com

Thanks,

Here is the tC thread about the coilovers if you wanna read about them... https://www.scionlife.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=162624

 

thats cool if i had the money and didnt have a problem with my driver side front i would already have these.

 

Which ones do you have now? What are you having probs with?

 

too lazy to read. but judging from the price, these are prolly spring & perch type coilovers rather then a true coilover. Nothing against them but u still have to invest in shocks if ur looking to be competitive with it. Or u can use the stockers if ur only goal is looks but be aware u are shortening the life of the shocks

 

Sounds halfway decent... I'd be interested in a set if they did make them... $300 is a LOT easier to get a hold of than $1200 for some other sets...

 

Exactly...We lower or cars on lowering springs without changing shocks which CAN shorten the life of our shocks...It's a small sacrifice I would be willing to take...After reading all the satisfied customers, I don't think you can go wrong here...Heck, you can pay upwards up to $250 on just a good set of springs nowadays...

 

You're right! Dude just my DF210 were $160 and that was just for springs! Not to mention shocks are REALLY expensive... Almost as much as coilovers in some cases.

As long as they can make it with a consistantly good quality and make them reliable I'd buy them!

 

bump. Need more info!!
i want these asap.

 

Racelands are junk.. i have a few buddies that rock them not on scions... they are cheaply made and ride like garbage... that does not take away from the fact that they do go low.... and for $300 bucks thats a good deal... i would just save the money and get something nicer....

 

1. I have not heard of any breaking due to poor quality...

2. Ride quality is relative to how low you have them set...

This is from what I gathered reading the tC forums...Like I said, $300 I can part with, but $1200 I can't...

I will rock them when they come out...When you guys have nothing better to do, I suggest you read through the tC thread on them and make your own opinions...

 

hey yellowsub, when you think these will be available?
Count me in for a group buy.

 

I freaking hydroplaned into a curb (concrete median about 2 inches off the ground) into the left front.. and i hit at a angle which now that i noticed bent something.. im on TSW thruxton 19x8 and my left front rubs when i turn full left.. Basically it pushed the wheel back towards the frame

 

Not sure...I have another email into them and have not got a response...

 

Damn that sucks...You just on springs now?

 

im not lowered at all im stock hahaha... freaking sucks im sure its the lower control arm bent out of whack.. But not much i can really do i need to egt under there one day maybe when it starts to cool down i will.

 

Zefoxe, these are TRUE coilovers, NOT coilover sleeves, there's nothing be used from the stock suspension jus ur top hats.

this is NOT a coilover sleeve people, this is a genuine coilover. and for the person that said there buddy had them, wat cars did they have? so far volkswagens, BMWs and hondas are doing good aswell as scions with these, yeah I wouldn't use these for tracking but for looks that's a whole different story

 

i have 2 buddies with miatas and 1 with a golf....... both of my friends with miatas got the products with the top strut bolt crossthreaded from the factory causing them to strip so they both had to send them back.... and the one with the golf had them and said that they were the worst ride he has ever had..... so he is know on kw coils..... and let me tell you that even with his car slammed it is barable not like his racelands that were super soft causing them to bottom out all over the place... and just ride like crap..... i have yet to be in a scion with a set

 

idk i never heard of riding issues especially on the VW forums, but if u slam it it tends to be soft. but besides that have not heard a problem yet

 

hey yelosub,
any updates?

 

Nope, I have not heard a thing! I will try to email them again on Monday...
