Fitting racland coilovers

[bainesy69]

This mite sound like a stupid question but which way do up do the springs go. The coils on one end are closer together than the other

[106pete]

where have u been man, havent u seen everyone slating them saying how bad they are. check out my guide in the link below!

[bainesy69]

there allready fitted but i think there upside dwn.the have got spax struts in them.all i wna know is which way up the springs go

[106pete]

tight coils go at the top, doesnt it bang like fuck still?

[bainesy69]

only every now and again.its beginning to piss me off but im skint as and need a cheap repair

[Sparco_Tom]

First mistake:

Buying them in the first place.

[fastroadkid69]

nasty coilies them.

[bainesy69]

i didnt buy them. they waas on wen i got it

[Mochachino]

fit them to the wheelie bin

[vtrlogan]

hmmm, i have them on mine and i really dont no why people slate them so much i followed the guide and only brought the kit for 70quid then sold the shocks for 35 then brought spax shocks followed the thread off how to make them better and they are fine using the raceland springs, i get a knock when i hit like rises in the road at like 60mph, but its not bad atal!

Think they are very underrated in my eyes, ive ran them for about 4 months now and i still love them, for under 200quid with uprated shocks i really dont think you can go wrong!

i used 60mm springs and shocks (spax) and they were terriable compared to the coilovers with spax shocks and thats being even lower..

assuming uve used my uild there mate? it does make a huge diffrence from standard. and 70 quid for the hole kit is good goin, best ive done is 100 so far lol.

[gavbey]

yeah they have been slated but i might invest in a set for myself

[AlexBp]

gavbey
dont

if you want coilovers you can spec up a set for a similar price that will work properly
off rally desight buy the sleeves and pans for 20 odd quid
then your dampers
springs of your choice are about 20 quid
helpers and pan another 30
and then im sortng topmounts custom to run standard topmounts

all in can be set up on the front sub 300 quid and every set weve done so far has been mint
the only knockig we had on a set was when the wishbones were making contact with the shell thats how low they go lol (they were of a higher spec though on 225lb springs and pugsport tarmac dampers)

alexb this is what i have done 250lb springs pug sport dampers moved steering arms and antirollbar mounts on strut tower to custom strut top mounts salex dampers on back works quite well ill be trying to get it a lil better on the next few track days
