Ktec buy raceland coilovers which cost £180 on eBay and then they double the price and sell them on to unsuspecting punters

ok cheers mate. my main question is are they any good?

 

[Harpham]

Most people on here will flame them, but if you get them for <£200, you cannae complain if it's just for lows. I've spoken to a few that have run Ktec/Rokkor coilies and they think they're great for what they paid.

Can you get the £180 Rokkors/Racelands for a 1.2?

Not great 'for lows' anyway as the rears don't go down low enough on the standard springs unless you have a beefcake in the back constantly. You can remove the rear adjusters to get it lower but the shocks will then sit on the bumpstops which obviously isn't good for comfort or safety! Plus if you jack the car up the springs will fall out... lol. The fronts are to soft to corner at decent speeds at a low height as they will just rub constantly, this is all from experience btw not forum hearsay.

You're best off saving for a better set, AP Coilovers are meant to be good which are £470 or Vmaxx are good for the price which come in at around £370.
