I know a lot of people that want to lower their cars but can't afford a decent set of coilovers. This new brand is proving to be quite good in the euro scene and the scion scene. I personally know of a couple cars that have them and I havnt heard a single complaint. If they make a set for your car, you will not be able to
beat the price.

I've heard nothing but good things about the raceland coilover kits for bimmers. But I'll just say you get what you pay for. NEX coilovers are great and reliable but they're upwards $800. So a full set for $250 seems like somethings missing. Maybe $250 each coilover?

Nope $250 for the whole set. Kinda rediculous but it's true. I don't think I would auto cross on them but for a daily driver I would see an issue.
Like I said. I know cars that have them and they go low and ride great.

The Jbody community has been emailing them lately, and trying to get them to produce coilovers for the J platform. I've been hoping they do cause my daily driver could use a drop. From what I've seen both the VW and Scion communities love them.

That is definitely a killer price but...

I did some more searching through bimmerforums.com and the people that have em like em and said the ride was a little stiffer than stock (this is for e36 ie: 90's 3 series). All the people that have CO setups already hate them and speak out of their asshole because it's not some elitist part thats made of the finest metals embedded with diamonds. But hey welcome to bmw owners.... pricks. Anyways I say go for it. It's $300 and yeah you probably get what you pay for but if they last as long as the two year warranty then that's a deal i guess.

Everything they have for my car is stupid cheap compaired to every other company that sells stuff. Their headers are $50+ cheaper then the next cheapest.

Im on a miata site reading a few reviews from people that bought them and they are saying you can put the car up higher then stock ride hight, that would be great for winter. Until I remember that Im not in NY and it doesnt snow here.

Yeah, they didn't have anything for my car either. Sounds like maybe someone went over and established a relationship with a factory, told them exactly what sort of quality control they wanted, and started their own line.

Like I said, if they are made for your car then go for it.

If they do exceed the 2 year warrenty then you got your monies worth in my opinion.

I'm with Porter, this thread is worthless to me as well. As they don't have anything for the A4 Quattro nor Passat. :(
