Mine are still holding up as good as they did the first day. No issues or quiffs yet.

There's more. Some just are too sissy to put them on in the cold.

This thread convinced me to order a set of ultimos
UPS says they'll be here the 21st and already have it setup to put them on on the 23rd. Can't wait. I'll post up review of how they are compared to my current fk spring and shock setup

[SoIAteAPancakeToday]

ill be putting in a set of these for a friend sometime in the next three weeks or whenever it is warm enough to work on a car comfortably in my driveway

[Megis14]

i love them... the rears all spun all the way up! and the fronts are only half way down.. two more inches left... and on 19'' s. they ride really nice also.. way better that stock ride even..

[AntParmenter]

I jumped the gun and went into summer mode today.



Sitting at 24" all around. Still with everything installed.

Since my Ultimo install I have put in the Hotckis sway kit and Euro Image 1" motor mount spacers. Both something I would highly recommend. I have the Euroimage tie rod flip kit waiting to be installed (I meant to do it today, but I forgot to put them in) and I need to notch my frame to go any lower in the front.

still interested to see how these ride compared to rokkors (especially a vr)

[boostingti4lyf]

coming in tomorrow going in after the 21st since im going on vacation

exactly man, I got supersports right now but they dont go under 24 soo I really want these cause i wont have to spend much to go low..but i dont want to ride like sht..anyone driving a vr with these? Hows the ride?

[Rev Run]

Cheap coils are like cheap whores, they might get low, but there ride quality sucks.

Cheap whores have been around the block a little more so they know how to work it better. So IMO you would get a pretty good ride for little dollar. But thats besides the point, I don't mind my rokkors on my VR MK3. For the dollar they get the job done.

yeah my friend has racelands on his vr, from what i understand these ultimos have a higher spring rate so thats profit

The rokkors have a higher rate over Racelands, and the Ultimos are supposed to be even higher, so im interested to see the results on a vr

correct, I think they should be pretty stiff aka good for being low

[SoIAteAPancakeToday]

the only discrepancy i have with the rokkors is that once they are at their lowest setting they ride like absolute garbage/really stiff/ feel every little imperfection in the road due to the lack of room for the suspension to travel, but im sure that is how most coils are. i have them about 1.5 from their lowest setting for winter and they actually ride pretty good.

I havent been under 24 yet but im assuming when you are low you want them to be stiff?

generally yes, but at the loss of pretty much all comfort.

[vwhead757]

Mine are going on when during my spring break when I get a day to myself college sucks

[vrisk]

I have the first racelands on my 24vr6 and it is tooooooo soft

[CubbyChowder]

beautiful. stance is on point. The whole car is on point IMO. I really like how far apart you set your roof racks too, it takes away all the goofiness of OEM racks. They just look silly to me when they are all close together.

How do they ride for you like that? Any rubbing issues so far?

[AntParmenter]

The ride wasn't bad. I had 4 wheels and a jack in the back and had no complaints about the comfort. I no longer have the stock sway so no issues rubbing there. Spun all the way down I was hitting frame bad though. I'd like to notch my frame and get my front 1/2" lower.

[bobbyk94]

looks good ant... its going to be a wopping 43 here tommorow in NEPA, so it sounds like my ultimos will be going on sooner than later! I am installing the EIT motor mount spacers this weekend, just waiting on adapters for the new wheels. I'M PUMPED! ill post pics asap.

Look into getting your frame notched. I cant get under 24 in the front with the motor mount spacers

[bobbyk94]

uh oh, I also have to look into a different sway, im still running oem.... Why do I have to have such expensive hobbies?

but IMO your stance is spot on currently

[DuB fresh]

Ant, how much out the door did the ultimo's cost you, I priced on racelandUs and they were only like 369 but then shipping to CT was 47 dollars more

[rwett131]

youre one lucky suuuuumbitch

My hobby went from tattoos to Volkswagens. I don't know which is worse.
