I was wondering what your guys opinion is on raceland coilover? especially if you have or had some!

thanks

 

I've seen them on a FWD Audi and was very impressed. They go low and are stiff.

I'm curious to see how someone with Quattro likes them.

 

Don't waste your money on cheap coilovers find out that they're shot later on. Spend a little more $$$ and get St coilovers or better.

 

yea i wouldnt mess with racelands... its only gonna be a matter of time until the shocks on those blow and u get a shitty set of coilovers that u blew 400 bucks on... i mean thats only my opinion tho and i cant really talk much about them because i have never had em but from what i hear you get what you pay for... just save up a lil more and get ST coilovers and if u got lots of bank get H&R coilovers...

 

i know there's at least one or two guys running these on this site, but i can't remember if they're AWD or FWD. But, as said above, coils are definitely one of those "you get what you pay for" kind of parts.

 

if race lands didn't exists the ST would be the cheap of the bunch. You still get what you pay for with the ST coils. They have plastic perches still correct>?

 

I believe so. From what I've read, the deal with ST's is that they're the same design and construction as KW KV1's, but with galvanized steel shock bodies instead of stainless. That's part of why they're still good. The engineering behind the design is still there, they just use less exotic materials to keep the production cost down.
