OK, read thru most of this. One question ....Has anyone used them at the dragstrip? I need something to stiffen up the rear so I stop spinning.

Not sure if anyone has used them, but if that's your only desire they might work. It's a cheap way to get a stiffer spring. That said, the shock load that a drag launch can put into the rear dampers might cause some concern for long-term durability. It also seems that Raceland uses a rather soft rear spring compared to other coilover options. Hard to argue with cheap, but for $1000 or $1200 you can get something that is going to get you a stiffer rear spring and better overall quality and durability.

i think the rear springs are going to be too soft and once you preload the hell out of them they just plain suck (which i would assume would be a common issue among most coilovers). i would look into spring blockers and use those with a set of lowering springs or the stock springs.

I have Rokkor coilovers(which is a sister company to Raceland)...I had ordered a set of Raceland's but they were out of stock so they sent me Rokkor's, exactly the same thing. But anyway, I love them and for the price you definitely can't beat them.

Not sure if this has been answered, but I have a set of gc raceland coilovers for my car, and the front ones went on perfectly, but the rear tophat 3-bolt screws don't line up with the oem holes. What can I do about this? has this happened to anyone else?
any info would be appreciated Pete |

I think that means you have GD top mounts.

I have a question.
The front has adjustable camber but the rear doesn't. Will the rear need camber bolts to be in spec? |

If you are going to go cheap at least go with a company that has Subaru Motorsports experience and has put some thought into delivering some quality on the cheap. FEAL 441.

I also ran racelands for quite a while, from completely slammed(just for temporary fun), to a somewhat moddest ride height, no issues. If you go into it expecting a $500 ride quality, youll be ok, that highway story is something to think about though. Good luck

My friend has had these on his bmw e46 for about 2 years and while he is still running them I can say from experience they are not high quality. He has already had two shocks/ struts replaced. I would not recommend these.

They are ok! You got a 2year warranty so doesn't matter if they break or what ever. You can call them and they'll replace them! I don't know why people bitch? You know what your buying so don't complain. There good for Dailey driving. I had them and then switched to tein street coils and I can't really tell a difference besides a little bit more comfort.
