    that's because all of the sixteen year olds buying the coils spend their allowance on them, with no monies left for alignment :p

    in all seriousness, i get alignments always with new suspension or tires. definitely go to a specialty shop though, make sure they're low friendly.

    Can anybody compare these to FK Streetlines? I just filled my tires to 40 psi which helps a little bit but they are still pretty bouncy.

    If you really would like them, I'm sure you could work out a deal with Raceland. Their customer service is great. Shipping may be a killer though.

    Getting one won't be the problem, the problem is the TÜV
    Normal Racelands are available over here, so maybe the Ultimos someday too...

    At the lowest I was rubbing the sway bar real bad, so I ordered the hotchkis sway kit.

    for stock wheels would with et45 will 5mm spacers be enough for front and rear??

    It was brought to my attention that the Raceland site states this craziness...

    "This product is intended to be used only in race cars and or show vehicles. The Raceland coil over kit is not to be installed in vehicles driven on public roads."

    I asked the company about it and this is what they sent back to me.

    Quote Originally Posted by Raceland USA

    Raceland USA

    Well I'd be willing to help out but the shipping would probably be more than the actual product. If you are actually still interested PM me and we'll talk.
