Raceland Coilovers - Toyota Yaris Forums

FlushYaris · 02-03-2014, 03:07 AM

Ok..So I know there was a thread while back about trying out Raceland coils. Now I have done some research..or observations. lol
The 7th Gen Celica coils on their website looks identical setup that our "Front" Suspension is setup like. Now I wonder if, I could get the front coils from the 7th gen Celica and the rear setup for a 1st gen xb.. Maybe an Idear.. lol Or dumb? I am very innovative, and like playing.

Phill, I've had atleast 5 pairs on 5 different vws and they rode just as fine as my ksports.

^ And anyone can pull up multiple posts about them failing prematurely. I won't carry them in my store because of the warranty hassle, but every customer makes their own choice.

Meanwhile. xB shocks are longer and have different holes -- they aren't compatible on a Yaris. Springs are different too.

our rears are identical to fits and e46 bimmers, youll have better luck with that than the XB rears, they require too much customization to be worth it

comparing racelands to ksports is like comparing mcdonald's to bk. Both are low grade coilovers. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but it's true.

haha No worries man. I am not into racing these cars nor my vws. I am all about getting to the pavement. lol

^ It's not about racing. They are obviously not for that. It's about the product lasting for a while.
