Just had an update from Raceland.... They have told me they will be able to dispatch them to me sometime next week. Usually it will take 3-4 working days from dispatch to arrive to me as they are shipped from the continent. I will then ship out next day delivery to everyone...

In order to get these kits to you faster I have arranged with Raceland that they get shipped direct to you. Once I recieve the consignment numbers I will email them to everyone who ordered so you can track the progress..

I've just put the deal back on for you :)

If anyone can do a fitting guide for me (with pics if possible) that'd be useful as apparantly they don't come with any instructions..

also if anyone has a spring tester, could be useful to know the poundage

Has anyone got a pic of these fitted yet? They look pretty good for the money . want to see a car with them fitted before i order a set. Some feedback about the ride would be good too.

Fitting thread in DIY Guides

One issue I didn't mention in the guide is you really need 2 C spanners and only one comes in the kit

Great guide... I'll make sure any new kits come with an extra C spanner included...

Excellent plan - I had to use an old multi purpose Bicycle spanner that had a C type spanner section on it but it was awkward

I'll add comments on ride quality later to the DIY guide

Overall I'd say the Raceland coilovers represented

- excellent value for money

- Nice range of height adjustment so you can get the height/stance you want (I'm going to look up what the ride height was of my Polo when I first got it as I think the stated range 35-55 drop is very conservative)

- Seem well made and fit easily
