Raceland? To be or not to be.

[Skar]

I just got mine today
But i have some qustions, i'm going to slam my E36, but i heard that the fronts bounce and the rears doesnt go that low
Should I take off the helpersprings?
Cut the bumpstops i half?
Remove something in the rear adjuster?

The fronts suck. I drove with the rears only installed and loved it, when I put the fronts on and drove, I ***** life. So bouncy.

For the rear, I took the adjuster out so its just the spring. Its low enough for me.

I cut the bumpstops in half for the front, apparently it helps with the bounce. I have yet to drive with the bumpstops cut yet.

the guys on clubroadster are rocking these things
guys have placed in teh top 3 in autox against must more expensive suspension at equal experience supposedly. i cant say go for it, but the data is somewaht tehre that they dont suck completely

A few guys on GolfmkV are using these for auto-X duty and they're holding up great.

[Skar]

I havent but them on the car yet, but would the car ride better if remove the helperspring is more the question

[RobbDizzle]

No, it'll ride worse. But that's the price you pay for moar low

I'm literally sitting on the bumpstops on mine and it's not that bad (only over certain surfaces/series of dips) .., but I'm scared if I cut them, I'm gonna destroy the fenders the first time I go over a bump while turning because there is literally a couple mm between my tire and fender.

NO. if you have them for the e36, i can vouch you WONT need to do that. dont even put them in zeroed(fronts) if you do you will be sittign frame on ground.

Yes, it's for my E36... I mounted them yesterday, they are turned all the way down and I just tuck the tire a little bittle How much will they drop once the springs settles?

The rear are very low tho

[slocar]

Say what now? O_o It's the exact opposite for me.

Look at my sig: the front can go down another inch and the rear is maxed out (and not really low).

^ you have helper springs in the front still?

[RobbDizzle]

Racelands settle quite a bit...almost .5" There are some "freak" sets out there that settle like 1.5"-2"...I think dfresh has one of them. They just inexplicably go lower than other Racelands...but most are like yours. Pull the front helpers, and the rear adjusters too if you can.
