    Installed these on my 1988 coupe. Better than stock suspension. Daily driven. For the price the product is great. Very happy. Not sure about the track. For a daily I say it’s a good buy

    i like your question but i am not able to ans this one but i like to know about this question.
    Dafaq?





    Scam bots aside, i installed a set of these on a buddies 325es, we used camero rear shocks, and the supplied front struts.
    install was stupid easy, if you have changed springs on a e30 or e36 this is no different.
    ride quality was alot better than the lowtecs 60/50 with blown struts and shocks, he only had the car for 4 months after so i cant speak for the life span but for cheap coilovers, They did great and tool wise, the raceland tools are much nicer than JOMS

    My personal review - keep in mind, I didn't buy these new, I found them in a PnP yard for a total of $91, so I really couldn't go wrong for the price. I came from my m10 318 having refreshed stock suspension with KYBs. When performing the 24v swap, I found these. Originally, I installed them with the matching struts, which lasted for around 6 months. Now, I'm running them with a junkyard set of Bilstein HDs (with shortened bumpstops). The HDs appeared to be practically new and came out of a vert with a snapped timing belt. With this combo installed, I personally like the ride. It is not too stiff, though you do feel potholes and other imperfections in the road. Cornering is decently flat for vert sways and tires with an actual sidewall. I feel that it is similar to my mom's 2003 e39 530i sport. Overall, I wasn't aiming to go super low, just to reduce fender gap and put a slightly stiffer spring in the car.

    Final verdict: I like them, and would say that they are worth it, if you have another set of shocks for them.

    Flame suit on.

    Looks nice man, I've been thinking about ordering these. What size tires are those, 60 or 65?

    I went ahead and ordered a set. Can't go wrong for only 400 bucks. The ride has a little bounce to it not really noticeable unless you are driving over speed bumps on the freeway. Car rides like a dream now after doing the coilovers and replacing 2 blown rear shock mounts and replacing Front Control Arms, CSB, Full tie rods and Upper Strut Bearings.

    Right now I'm sitting half way down on the front and all the way down in the rear. I had to raise the fronts because the tires were sitting on the inner fender wells during compression and rubbing the fenders when I turned.



    After:

    #650 in the rear with the Jom rear strut. The rear strut is fine, no problems there at all

    The front however is very nice for daily driving.
    Yeah these are definitely built for daily driving. I wouldn't dare take these to the track though. What # spring are you running in the rear and are you running the JOM strut for the rear?

    racelands in the miata world are considered as low budget coilovers on the market. IMO if you don't mind rough ride quality and would like to drop the car at a budget, these are it.

    for people that are interested in these and want to go low, maybe you guys should run joms in the front and racelands in the rear?

    Was also under the impression that JOMs & Racelands were the same. I've only had experience with my buddy's JOMs though.
