Anyone using Raceland coilovers on an 02 r53? Looking for better handleomg and stance than my lowering springs and have heard good things from other model car owners using them. Please post pics if you do thanks

 

I had them on a VR6 GTI, they sucked big time. Very uncomfortable. You get what you pay for. If you dont mind a horrible ride and just going for a low look. Then I guess they work.

 

My ride sucks now on springs lol. A friend has them on his speed 3 and they seem ok. its just a work and weekend toy so I prob wont mind as lomg as they dont fall apart lol.

 

Rode in a Miata with these installed and honestly, they were rough and at times felt worse than blown OEM equipment. Just thinking about all of the other things that could go wrong with the suspension, I wouldn't want to aid those problems with the addition of cheap coils that jar the car apart. Best budget coil seems to be the megan racing. I have had mine for over a year now and as long as it is taken care of, it will last a very long time. My car is also my weekend toy, so I speak from experience.

 

Racelands are good if you just wanna lower your car and take pictures, just don't drive it.

 

I remember when I made the switch between racelands and Koni yellows...
HUGE difference in both ride quality and handling. Even though I had the Koni's set on the softer side, they still handled better (to me) than the racelands did. They were also much much more comfortable. My opinion, save the $300 some dollars and put that towards a good setup.
