Raceland coilover long term review

[Rich260z]

I believe corbic is just warning people at this point, as the op already has the racelands and can't go back in time like superman.

This thread inspires me to get some emusa's and do a review thread

daily driving review, for coilovers? r-really bruh?
Here's my review: If suspension is that questionable where you have to say its really not that bad to drive AROUND TOWN in, you & your car equally suck massive corn hole.
I read the entire thread, and learned absolutely nothing. I actually got more dumb. See I cant even write correct grammar anymore.
& I dont even like to troll... ok yes I do.

Not everyone is a hardcore tokyo drifter like you...

Well, the point of coilovers, is performance driving... People do daily drive them, but for the most part, they're made for performance reasons... That doesn't stop people from deciding they just want to slam their cars, and daily it.

The logic is why waste money on coilovers when stock suspension will do what you need it to WITHOUT scraping or worrying about questionable quality... And hey, if you wanted to go low, why not try lowering springs so you aren't scraping over everything? Oh, that's not hardcore enough? Well go ahead and buy your cheap coilovers and complain about the quality to everyone, or complain how everyone tells you that you bought shit now that you're aware of it and can't change your mind.

Sorry, I digress. The point is, coilovers, while easy to obtain and install, are not meant for daily drivers, and if daily-ing is all you're doing, you probably shouldn't review that aspect, as most people would describe the ride on the street as "acceptable" unless they're shit anyways.

Not that I'm slamming the OP for doing a review, or people that buy performance parts to hella-stance their whips, or whatever.

[Scope240sx]

Tokyo drifter??
damn bro it says your 33 not 12.. thanks for defending shitty coilovers with ride height adjust-ability but no dampening adjustment.. you are the kind of "CAR GUYS" that paint over rust... really defend coils that are the SAME PRICE for every "APPLICATION"
I'm not even on coil overs man, running KYB AGX w/ gf210 springs w/ fully adjustable arms & links, car handles fantastic. never would ever ever forever never run cheap coil overs. no matter if its my first time around the block, or my tenth.
thats because I was taught by guys who win, not DUMP IT BRO.

I mentioned why I needed cheap coils a few pages ago......

I was there too. They needed more seating for sure. We had to stand the whole damn time.
I think you're not understanding, i didn't say all florida roads are bad, i said the roads i drive on are bad. I have to go through an industial area for my job and it's beat to hell and full of potholes, even a truck you can tell how shitty it is.

Anyway, I mostly wanted to cover how long these lasted, but i'm doing my best to review them all around. I just picked up a stack of spare drift tires and wheels, getting the diff welded this weekend, then i can see how they handle drifting and whether they'll break in to 867MILLION pieces and turn my car into a spinning box of death and kill every man woman and child within a ten mile radius!!!

I hope you're enjoying my "diary" lol. It's entertaining to say the least.

[Scope240sx]

I actually am enjoying your diary man, I already said you can't NOT click and read everything!!
Why are you going to weld your diff? Why would you want to always have your rear end locked?? You retain more traction even with an open diff, and YES, you can drift an open diff all day.
Just buy a 1-way differential; you will enjoy that. What will a welded diff teach you? If you can do it on an OPEN you can do it on ANYTHING!

Please dont weld your diff. Its bad enough you have those damn coil overs & blue SE wheels... on a CRIMSON RED 240!!!!
10 years ago DECENT coilovers were $2,000..............
& who the FUCK would weld a diff when you can get a functioning viscous diff......
OPEN>WELDED
^ thats just stupid anyway, & your not (that) dumb.

That's the whole reason to weld a diff, so you can break traction and drift. Drifting an open diff sucks ass

Yes the seating was terrible, me and a buddy got seats at 2pm and sat till it started. Was good though when the Godspeed project car crashed and burst into flames we where so close we could feel "The Heat" lmao.
As far as the "Diary" lmao everyone has their own opinions on things i personally didn't enjoy them in my buddies car compared to even Tein, Megan or CX coils I've had/been in. If it works for you and nothing bad happens that's good. I'm getting more enjoyment outa everyone arguing in here it's great and I'm glad your still hanging with it haha.

I had Raceland's on my NA Miata for a year and a half.

I daily drove the car and tracked it.

Drove to college classes 20 minutes a day, as well as work and around town.

Made a drift event about every 2 months during that period, as well as many street sessions.

They blew after 6 months after being at max low with 15x8"s, ride after that was shitty as fuck.

Bottom line is, you get what you pay for. I paid like $300 for them brand new, expected shitty quality and low ride height, and got exactly what I expected.

You can't expect to pay that kind of money for something and expect stellar quality. It's just stupid. I didn't bitch about how my $300 coils blew and rode like shit after 6 months because that's what $300 gets you. If I expected quality I would've bought Stance.

[Scope240sx]

no dude, just no.
you have no idea what you are doing, or talking about.
stop watching drift bible, you can do it with an open.

I'm going to step outside my "no feeding trolls rule" and say you can, but why would you want to? Most people here are either rich enough to afford a Clutch-Pack, or way too impatient/broke to save for one. Or, just too broke to replace the clutches all the time. Welded is cheap and allows you to drift, which is what people want.

Literally no one who's ever welded a diff gives a fuck about traction. And as far as a viscous goes, quieter on the streets, not completely terrible, not good for drifting, because they are old, beat and overheat (let go). So, I have no idea what you're talking about... It's much easier to break traction with a welded.

[Thedriftbadger]

Why would i pay for an lsd when i can just weld it... I have more important things to spend money on, hence the racelands.

[bc.]

This thread sucks. I am not going into a discussion of VLSD vs welded in here...

OP: just let us know if/when your shit breaks.

/end thread

I'm not stupid. Just cause i bought low priced coilovers doesn't mean i don't know what i'm doing. I know an lsd would be better for street driving, but i'm not buying one right now. I'm welding the diff for the mean time until i eventually get an lsd. I didn't want a discussion on it so please dont start one.

I'm sorry, I've been doing this thing called working. When i have time to play around and take pretty pictures for you i'll let you know.

Well i said this would be a long term review. Thanks for sticking around for the last 6 years, i forgot about this. I've long moved on from this whole jdm boy scene but I'll summarize this for anyone looking to buy these. I got a free set of seized superdrifts a few months after install and put the springs on the racelands since they were a bit soft for my taste. Drove on them for about 50k miles and sold the car about two years ago. Never bounced, never leaked, never squeaked, never seized. Last i heard from the kid who bought it they were still fine. I put a set on my e46 daily driver around 2016, sold that last year to a friend to buy a new car and they're still doing great with about 40k on them. Stock springs are perfect for street use but you'll want something stiffer for track duty. Overall i have not one single bad thing to say about these and i wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
Pic of them 1 inch above max low.

Of course the guy that vouches for raceland had a stock hatch on trailer wheels

[SupaDoopa]

Don't come back here looking for justification of your shitty financial decision on buying garbage coils. I assure you - no one here cared to see an update on this.

this is by far and away the most 'broke ass kid with a 240' statement ive ever read.

thank you for making my monday comical thus far.

[ZenkiKid]

Are these exactly the same design and megan ones?

I mean if they are at least you have a solid candidate for a proper rebuild. Shrugs.
