What do you think about RaceLand coilovers? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I know these coilovers aren't the best.... But for the price you can't beat them. Do any of you guys have them or have any objections? Here's the website.

I'll give you a bit of advice; if its to good to be true, it probably is. Since, from what i've seen, most reputable brand coilovers run for $1,100 plus, i'd be a little nervous about slapping on some $500 ones. Suspension isn't something you want to necesarrily fuck with on a care. At best those will probably ride like shit and/or give you an uneven drop. At worst, well...

Hahaha ya I agree with you... What would you recommend is a reputable company that won't break the bank. I would like to do this right by using name brand but can't do it all at once ha.

Much better off with lowering springs and Konis or Bilsteins than with cheap coilovers guaranteed to have shit damping characteristics. I've endured budget coilovers (Tein SS) the p.o. installed on my FD, never again! Poor pitch/roll control and unbelievably harsh over any road imperfections. If you want to hate your car, get cheap coils. If you want to love your car even more, make SURE you have good dampers, whether better coilovers or good reputable shocks/struts.

Racelands are so bad when I switched to Megan racing on my old tc I felt as if I was driving with ohlins ... And if you know how iffy Megan/BC/ksport etc are that should paint the picture perfectly for you .

I'll stick to the tried and proven blown OEM shocks with stock springs.
