    Default WTB Raceland Coilovers for NA

    Title basically says it all. Want to buy a set of RL coils for a 1990 miata. Let me know about how many miles are on them and price. Thanks.

    Really? They're already cheaper than Vatozone shocks... just buy a new set!

    Yeh, just wanna save as much as possibly (if possible) on them since they aren't great. Just wanted to give em a try.

    Ur better off buying new....if u drive them hard or hit some nice sized Texas potholes they blow out and don't rebound they just stay compressed....so chances are if u buy
    Used they are junk....I have a set in
    My garage I can show u that i got new and lasted about 4 months of hard hill driving around lake worth...just my 2 cents

    Hmm. I guess everyone has their opinions and stories about them. I hear good and bad. Just wanna see how they are myself. Thanks for the advice though. Can't you send them back with your warranty? You should. Then you could sell them to me

    BTW, when i do get my coilovers in (if i can't find a used set, i'll just buy them new), can someone help me install?? I've never done suspension so I am clueless when it comes to putting them in. If anyone can help, that'd be awesome.

    just heat or cut the stock springs...those will go low and ride like shit too :) And then you don't have to wait as long for the shocks to blow.

    Buy some used Bilsteins and get some coilovers that fit either off ebay or somewhere...check the ebay coilover thread on m.net


    Racelands are a waste of $$$

    Or buy the blown ones on here....hell I might buy the ones that were mentioned above if they were super cheap :)
