    LOL Alex is messing with you....

    Remove the rear adjusters, you'll be surprised how much lower it gets you. Chances are it'll be what you're looking for.


    When you're ready to get some coilovers that go properly low, and actually have an incredible ride, let me know. We'll make it happen.

    I've had race lands before and my buddy had ultimos in his mk3, they're deffinetly much stiffer than racelands and id say they're worth the price

    despite that, the ride is actually pretty impressive. ive had many different coils on many different aplications and these are pretty nice.

    Skrapez did it and his E36 road so well!
    PM him about it I'm sure he'll help you out.
    Yep! He has the mystery setup.

    That's like saying "I own a Daewoo Lanos with A/C, not just a base Daewoo Lanos."

    actually my ride is very impressive i have ultimos not the regular racelands. i know these are ment to go lower then the originals because there a 1-4 inch drop. i still have about 1 1/2 of play in the front with plenty of rod stroke and clearance. im only wondering how to get the rear to go lower. thanks for all the ideas guys, much appreciated.

    Just get some quality coilovers and stop bouncing while you drive.

    *edit; quality coilovers that are designed to go low. There are plenty of quality coilovers, most are meant to improve handling around a track. And not being lowered so much.
    Tho there are coilovers that will get the car on the ground and still handle fairly well and not bounce.
    he has racelands. if he wants to be low the ride is gonna suck. i didn't mean that there aren't quality coilovers that go really low and still ride good. racelands aren't terrible if they're at a decent height.

    Racelands aren't designed for low, and when you take them beyond what they were intended to do ( lower the car 60-80mm) the ride gets pretty brutal. Most people who are low have a some what custom set up, whether shorter springs or shorter bodies and RL's are full bodied with long springs. They do go low up front if you're willing to sacrifice comfort.
