Raceland coilovers review and pics!

[Aim high]

Ok so I know some of you when you hear raceland hear cheap and junk at the same time, but after doing some reading, I've heard that with a somewhat modest drop they're actually pretty good. I don't have a ton of cash to spare right now because I also needed new rubber so i figure I'd give them a try and fill you all in on how they ride!
I was worried they'd be very bouncy but they're not. I was worried they'd be noisy but they're not. I was worried they'd be soft but the ride is tight with almost no body roll! These things are great and I'm shocked more people don't have them given the price. I went to 24.75 front ftg and 25 rear and the look of the car has improved drastically.. The rear of this thing combined with the a8 rings just looks mean. Now I just need some spacers! Let me know what you guys think

My buddy has racelands on his b5 Passat and the thing rides awesome very tight handling and the quality of the ride was better than OEM .

Yea that's how I feel about it. Ride is smooth and still aggressive on turn in. I'm very happy with it but unfortunately my control arm bushings were shot so I had to throw some of those on as well to add to the bottom line.. But other than that the setup was pretty inexpensive

Anybody else here on racelands? What's your ftg and opinions on the ride?

How much did you pay for them?

As for the coils I paid 369 plus 60ish shipping.. The control arms were given to me at a commercial price for a about 42-45 per arm x 4. So parts alone got me up to about 620 or something.. Then install was 4 labor hours plus alignment. 540.

If you don't need new control arms you could get away with 950 installed. Plus my guy told me any adjustment in the future is free although I could do that part myself... Good shop! Do you guys like the look? Should I get spacers?

That's a personal preference. Most will say yes to flush it out 15 front 20 rear. Personally I wouldn't unless aftermarket needed it but that is just my personal choice.

Well from what I've heard they're actually pretty nice and so far no disappointments. I'll let you guys know if I come across anything I don't like

Hate to revive a dead thread but curious to know, any updates? How long did they hold up for? Did the ride quality progressively get worse or no?
