Raceland Coilovers Fitted pics. 182

[wozza182]

Got mine fitted today. Pretty easy to do.

The V-Maxx fitting guide really helped!!
Will need adjusting when I'm at 519 on Saturday! But feels good so far!!

 

[D4N13L]

Height looks good.

 

[ch!ppen]

Looks good, although either the front wants to come down or the back wants to go up a bit imo.

 

[WilkyWay]

As above. I prefer the front heavy look. This is how I sat mine...

 

[MonkeyKnifeFight]

Thats the beauty of 15's you can run the front a bit lower as the 50 profile in the tyre means the suspension moves less.

 

[batesey]

how are these coilovers? do they have a crashy ride like the vmaxx?

 

[wozza182]

Literally just put them on and went for a 10 minute drive. So will update when I've had a bit more time in the car!!

 

[Wick]

Doing mine tomorrow

Looks good buddy!!

Wozza, you getting much arch rub at the front?? Had a good chat with Danny at 519 today and he ain't a fan of the cheap tat we've both installed!

Somehow I managed to set my camber ny on perfect so he says! Lol. Guesstimation work! Half a degree ish out!

 

[wozza182]

Yea slight bit on full lock. Will need to bring it up a bit.
Mine feels good though but I'm sure adjustments will be made at 519.
Will be looking at 15's though I think.

 

[jordski19]

Me too, think mines rubbing on the little vents right on the edge of the arch liner by the bumper. Danny just said to cut em off!

Quite happy with the ride though, better than standard. Wanna stick with the oem wheels though! Next job is to get my splitter on!

it's the toe that was perfect

the camber is at 0.5deg which is the maximum these will ever let you have due to being cup fitment modded. This is why the only budget coilovers you should fit to a 182 cup/cup pack are vmaxx as they actually allow some adjustment

 

[jordski19]

Oh, arse! Well I thought I was right! Lol. I'll keep it buttoned in future Danny!

hows the drive of them mate then?

Ive installed V-maxxs, and I have a similar stance as wozza's...but my back end is as high as it will go and if i drop the front end it will start scrubbing :dapprove:

 

[WilkyWay]

Ride is good with 50-15's fitted, not crashy at all like some coilovers I've used, they've got a fair bit of give. Not sure what it's like with 16's and a lower profile. Alot smoother than I expected.
They prop you up well when you lean on them too.

 

[AKFM1]

have anyone took the adjusters our for extra lows i got to wait until the weekend

I have 45-16's on vmaxx, and they are pretty crashy!ha Real firm, feel pretty much everything on the road!

I thought mine was quite low, and there is lots of room on the adjusters to go lower, not at the back though. But the back is pretty much as far as you want to go!!

 

[andyc58]

i had these and after 2 weeks back to standard.enough said

 

[AKFM1]

wozza182, could you go any lower on the fronts and backs? fitted normally with adjusters in arent they? look fantastic, for the price, you really cant complain lol

 

[Gandi69]

RB looks great with a little drop on it

 

[wozza182]

Back is low as it Will go with the adjusters.
Front will go alot lower, but I'm getting slight rubbing how it's sitting now, so might cut the arch liner slightly.

Thanks gandi69.

 

[AKFM1]

oh i see, i wont have a problem cos i dont have both my front arch liners! but thanks anyways, think it looks great as it is mate

 

[Wick]

Managed mine today mate, thanks for the tips yesterday. My car is sitting very similar to yours. I went for fully down on the back and about 3"1/8 from the bottom of the thread on the front....

Currently have very minor front scrubbing on the front right on left hand sharp corners.

Gonna fit my 15" wheel later this week then at a guess bring the rear up 10mm and hope the fronts stop scrubbing

 

[AKFM1]

do they rub on the front arch liners? ones that attach to the bumper lads?

 

[Wick]

Not sure yet, I'll get back to you. Only driven them for 10 mins....

 

[AKFM1]

pics of yours Wick cos mines BG

 

[wozza182]

Rub slightly, so I will probs remove my front arch liners or cut where it's rubbing.

 

[Wick]

[BlazeYouQuick]

Looks a perfect height tbh.

 

[AKFM1]

have you found out where the rubbing is mate? i cant figure out where mine is when driving hard

 

[wozza182]

Haven't yet, but I'm going to try and find out out!

 

[AKFM1]

yours still rubbing though? its really winding me up and ive cut the arch liners, think all i can do is keep raising it until it goes away
