    Got a problem with my recently purchased Raceland coilovers (no surprise some of you may say), fronts look ok, plenty of adjustment available, but the rears have next to no adjustment left. I'm thinking I've been sent (and fitted [:$] ) 4 front springs.

    Any views?

    Fronts

    Rears

    Warning: Big Pics. :)

    Edit Ooopsie, the height it's at now

    Low

    You got the springs mixed up? i.e fronts on the rears? thats what it looks like to me because AFAIK the front springs are shorter....

    EDIT: either that, or like you've said, you've got 2 pairs of front springs ;)

    looks ok to me!

    Not being funny, but the reason Raceland make coilovers is for people who want their car LOW..
    So you guessed it, their kits don't cater for going high..

    dont mean to sound sarcastic there.

    After my experience I wouldn't recommend them at all. Gear is ok but they are monkees. An that's the polite version of what I think of 'em. [:x]
