This thread is turning into a bimmerforums R&S elitist rant.

I have racelands.
I like them.
I really don't get how people have had issues with them "blowing up" or whatever.
Mine have been fine.

Guess i was lucky? either way i can give two shits.

the different between raceland coilovers and GOOD coilovers is the same different like driving a yugo and a porsche 911.

I have Racelands on my 318ti. I drive the hell out of my car on the street and on the track with no issues at all. If you want cheap coilovers, they work great. Im planning on upgrading to something with more dampening adjustment in the future, but for now I really cant complain.

Ive had kw v3's, h&r, and other brands of coilovers on some of my other vehicles, and sure you can tell the difference. Most people really dont care or dont know how a properly set up car feels anyway. Also when you have a car that costs a few grand or less, people cant justify spending that much on coilovers.

Ive seen Bilstein and KW struts that are blown out, even H&R springs that have collapsed and cracked. Half of the big name suspension companies popping up recently have all their stuff made by the same factories overseas, and they just slap their name on it or "assemble" them in the US. You really aren't getting high quality suspension unless you spend $4-10k+ on something like Moton, Ohlins, JRZ, Penske, etc.

for shure:
hr and kw "right" overseas -> germany
raceland "left" overseas -> china

HR and KW aren't the NEWER companies I'm talking about.

this thread is old and stupid
let if fucking die already

I had Rokkor (Raceland) on my E36 and didn't have any issues. They were decent for what I paid for them. I just wanted a lil' lower than stock though, not slammed.

[markshulikov]

I had racelands on my e46 and they worked just fine for daily driving, and would be perfect for a temp set up. you guys are dicks. trust me theres always gonna be someone who has nicer wheels, coilover, etc, etc whats the point of being rude about it?

[NICKELL666]

I run racelands on my ms3.. I dont have any issues with them.. Good for lowzz on the budget.. But thats about it.. I just bought them as a temp setup.. And i def wouldnt track them.. I plan on going kw in the spring..

[vader_e60]

I know a few people who run them(one on a miata and one on a e36), the saying is you get what you pay for, but all in all they are a decent coilover for less than $500 brand new

[zector]

I've also had some of these coilovers. Racelands on my tC and both e36's. never had a problem with any of them. Had them for about 1-2 years each.
