Sorry to dissapoint guys but cookie-jnr off here was unable to get back from his trip to help and the weather is also been grim so we are putting it off to either saturday evening or sunday morning, but promise to take pics and give you all a detailed report.

They say "FK are affordable coilovers for affordable price".

Now imagine, Raceland coils are cheaper than FK. :eek: But tbh they are that cheap that you don't waste a lot of money IF they broke. Shame that they lower the car almost too much for me. Post a pic with highest setings

surely the question to ask is WHY are they so cheap? Not being synical, but nothing is cheap and good at the same time usually.

cheap because they have cheap parts in them and are very cheaply made.
Will probably last 12 months, maybe. You get what u pay for end of!!

Thats interesting. Maybe they fit as same spec as another car (not sure what), or maybe the seller has modified them to fit. And do they def fit, has anyone actually fitted them to the car yet?

Raceland brand from China makes them for Clio. :rasp: Real Racleand should do something about stealing their brand name. :nono:

the coilovers wont be that bad, my mate had a set on his old leon cupra r and they were good , really smooth and handled well , were close to the kw v3's i had on my leon cupra r at the time , dont be put of by the price , i bought a set of jamex coilovers once and they were just cheap ling long ones with bits sprayed on them !!! you have got to remember that companies have got to make a good profit out of bits so the easiest way is to buy from poor countries where the labour rate is cheap , that way if you buy direct from the supplier you get them cheap without the english dealers whacking there price on them !!!

Do raceland have a website? I had a quick look and can't find one, but i might be being retarded!

True, but as has been stated, these have a 24 month warrenty. So regardless, they'll last 2 years. lol.

And I found myself laughing at the FK vid. Are we supposed to stop buying FK's because of that then? The internet is full of old wives tales and gossip. Most on here just fit what somebody else told them to fit anyway!

These coilovers are cheap, we realise they are cheap, but at £160 its worth a punt I reckon. And to get TUV approval they can't be that badly made.

If they are crap then I spend an evening taking them off and flog them on. Simples.

What are the chances of them fitting a 172 cup... a piece broke of the spring of my front ns standard susp... really need to replace them asap!?! This would make it sooner rather thatn later... !!

In fact recommendations would be welcome for a new set!

15-30mm drop on rear seems a bit junk for the huge drop u can put on the front :S
 
  S3, Polo
:dead: ^ It's *clearly* a typo! Dropping the front by 210mm would put the wheel through the arch!

Can you do me a favour? If you get time can you take pics of them on highest and lowest settings front and back please? Also comments on ease of fitment and if you needed to do anything to them.

Mine are looking like arriving the back end of next week. :D

The back doesnt go down very far imo, how much would a set of custom springs be for these?

hmmmm im so tempted to get these cheep 24 month warranty and tuv approved so gotta be good to get tuv approved. I need some reviews to help me enter a bid in for them though

My review is in the ebay section.
Reality is these are Austrian made TUV approved coilovers for £165 delivered.
Worst case scenario if the internals fail in 2 years i will fit some Koni inserts, the bodies themselves are worth alot more than what your paying!!.
Love the sceptics on here, usually because theyve paid alot more for their coilovers!!;)
