I just installed a set of Rokkors on my Mk1 GLI. No issues here at all. Not bouncy at all either. These are in a 1900lb car as well. Rokkors are the same as Racelands except they are supposed to have a stiffer spring rate. Also at $289 shipped i didn't even think twice about buying them for a $1700 car.
Rokkor is also producing coils for BMW's as well.SAABaru.

It looks like the RL coilovers are on par with F&F, K Sport, D2 etc... Which gives you an idea of what kind of profit margin these companies are making on their products.
I really had no idea BMW guys used these inexpensive parts. Thought that was only a Honda thing.

just put a set on my e36 about a week ago and two things:
1. you can go really really really low, i can tuck 17"x8.5" et 13 with 205 tires all the way around
2. they are a bit bouncy but not bad at all, i daily the car and it has been much better then what it was stock

if those are racelands and they are correctly installed, there is something wrong with them.
edit: i just read that they are ta techniks coilovers. i wouldnt assume that these are the same coilover just by the external looks. racelands may have a shorter strut housing or an insert that allows for more travel. ive never heard of them but if you have done all you have said, the shock may be bottomed out internally, resulting in not being able to go any lower.Last edited by NegativeCamber; 06-09-2010, 04:07 PM.Originally posted by KielanI've had a lot more fun in my Dad's Prius than I care to admit.

I ordered a set of these today for my e46. I have 2 questions that i'm sure most of you can answer for me.
1.) Do I need spacers? My friend that has a mk4 gti installed some on his car and he had some after market wheels, and the wheels hit the coil. I'm running stock wheels right now, and he told me I probably wouldn't need the spacers.
2.) Are there any weird tools I need to install these? I helped with the install on my friends mk4, but I'm just trying to make sure there isn't anything different with the install for my e46
