Raceland and Rokkor are the same company based in the same suite of the same building.
Make sure to call them and talk to I believe Ariana (spelling is diff I believe), stay on the phone until she says "bye bye" - someone told me to do it, never actually did it.
But in person she is "cute"...

Vmaxx is identical to rokkor coilovers and racelands, same quality and no difference in design and parts just a "actual" company that has been around in the miata community for a while decided to take them and sell them under a different name

I try to do all the work I can myself I'm not paying anyone to install them the only reason the clutch was done at a garage was because I didn't have the right tools and It was going to take more then a weekend to do. I'm just cheaping out because I want to save fore a turbo and engine work, also the coils have a good warranty for the price.

See vmaxx got the crappy name because a seller took it, slapped some springs on those shocks and called it a kit... no testing, no data to back it up, nothing made sense so it rode like crap, handled like crap.. kinda like the ricelands and the rest of the ebay knockoffs.

FM took it over after the seller gave it a bad name and fixed it up, did the necessary testing, figured out what it needed and now if you look at the people that run it, they are very satisfied. Dont forget you also get FM behind their kit, not a seller on ebay that has no idea that color the springs even are.

Comparatively, I've driven a car with a vmaxx and rokkor "coilovers" they are the same. Except that Vmaxx is more expensive since FM sells them and "will back them up". Rokkor will straight up replace the "coilovers" if you wish after several months if you are unsatisfied with something. We've dyno'd the springs on the vmaxx and rokkor (latest version of vmaxx i believe - 3 months ago) and the springs ARE the same. I do not have print outs or anything to prove this but if I get someone with another set of vmaxx's that wants to put them in I will get you guys one to show that they are identical and it's pointless to spend the additional money on vmaxx's.

According to FM, they did change spring rates and few more parts.

mine have been great for the last 7k miles...I just had to change them up a bit.

watch out for the Federal DOT police. They take you to big boy prison

Thanks for the info on Rokkers i'll be ordering them soon if all goes smooth

ap0calypse

They are the worse kind of police out there. It's just because my dad wants it to DOT approved because the racelands arent tested for reliability even though they have a great warranty it's not worth the time without a car or switching back to stock

I fail to believe that a reputable company like FM would outright lie about a product they sell exclusively.

I couldn't let this thread just die.

FM says vmaxx is up in netherlands, and they worked on changing a few things, specially the spring rates, both final and helper.

I don't think that FM would lie about the Vmaxx but it is possible that Rokkor is now using the same spec springs as FM.

doesn't mater much since 1/2 of the raceland/Rokkor spring package sucks.
