Racelands, you get what you pay for. /endthread

 

I like how everything he said was so completely moronic it deserved a ban right away.

 

are you trying to say they are shitty or something?????


no way:

 

lol scott

y u so mad bro?

 

Wow, now I feel kinda guilty.

I have, in fact, purchased one set of Raceland coilovers. Specifically, they were the absolute cheapest height-adjustable thing I could find to stick on my '92 just before I sold it, so that I could pull off the several-years-old revalved Bilsteins and transplant them onto my current car.

 

My super awesome ricelands are still kickin in the '00.
No issues.....That I heard about from current owners

 

One of my buddies just got some ricelands, he loves them... compared to his cut springs he had before.

Now he is asking on facebook if he can take the helper springs off to slam it

 

Tell him to contact Braineak for instructions.

 

it invovles exhaust plumbing, *****, and procreation (or lack thereof)

 

You forgot the tranny press and sawzall slam

I told him the more he slams it, the more he will ride on the bumpstops, AKA the same as cutting your springs.

Will he listen? Probably not. He is a dr1ft0R so he knows better than me.

 

I think I've come up with a brilliant idea which will make me a hundredaire.

A Miata-specific suspension package designed especially for drifting applications. It consists of a tubular steel bar with an eyelet at the bottom to mate with the lower control arm, and a threaded section at the top to attach to the shock tophat. A solid-steel tophat with no rubber will be available as an optional upgrade for the NB cars.

I may elect to build the bar in two halves, which mate in a male-female threaded section, so that they are ride-height adjustable to allow for as much as 0.2cm clearance between the tire and the fender.

Imagine the weight savings from not needing a heavy spring or a big tube full of oil!

 

Slap some jdm stickers on there and they'll pull a premium at Drift warz

 

Wait where can you get Bilsteins revalved and rebuilt at?

 

OMFG, did just you seriously just hop on the Banned Wagon?

 

oh he mad

 

Make sure a spacer is involved:

 

I will do one better. Once the prototype is done and the design is finished, I will have them manufactured in China, and include a CDM sticker with a logo of my own choosing.

Hello new fad!


I got mine done many years ago by Shaikh at Fat Cat Motorsports. This was back when he was just starting out, before he'd really created a "product line" as it exists today. His newer stuff is a fair bit pricier, and I honestly have no idea whether he still accepts customer shocks for re-valving or if he only sells his own stuff.

 

I refuse to join any banned wagons. Adjustable nonsense.

Ohhh, yeah last i checked with fat cat they weren't accepting old ones to be rebuilt. I also thought i read on here that some of the last few people that dealt with them said they were kinda sketchey.
Darn.

 

You jest, but a few years ago I was at a light when a guy in a 240SX hatchback entered the intersection at like 70 mph and drifted the entire thing (he was coming on the road perpendicular to the one I was on and turned left, putting him on the same road I was on). It turned out a friend of mine knew the guy and when I inquired about his suspension setup, it turned out they were gutted stock shocks which he filled with cement and welded shut. Drift people have no clue about suspension because all they need for drifting is a stupidly stiff setup. I have a buddy with an S2000 who swears his BC Racing coilovers are great and likes Stance GR coilovers because the drifters claim they are great, I don't have the heart to tell him how wrong he is. He also has no clue what a suspension dyno is, coincidence? I think not.
