I have an 08 Rabbit and im just looking to lower it as much as i can to make my 15'' mesh audi wheels look right (would post a pic of wheels but they are not here yet). Im just looking for cheep i have a project car that im working on and im not looking to spend a ton of money im building a BUDGET BUNNY. Any "POSITIVE" feedback would be great
Thanks
Vmax $550 30-75mm drop
Raceland $290 (couldnt find specs)
vmaxx looks a little more sturdy but i could be wrong....
Well if you're on a budget go with raceland since its half the price of vmaxx. Ive read that too low on raceland with be really bouncy. I've had vmaxx and they weren't too terrible.
touche' ive heard the same. im really doing more of a show/budget for our car club to get more people intrested in the dub scene around where i live so just enought to kick some eyeballs would be nice....thanks for pos feedback
Who's next?
out of the two vmaxx is the better "cheap" coils. raceland are just pure garbage. do a search there was a guy in here that his end link broke off the front suspension..
why anyone would buy coils thate are the same price as regular springs is beyond me. theres a reason they're so cheap
I've had Vmaxx, my cousin has racelands.. they are both decent, the Vmaxx seem to be a little more durable but if your spending that money I'd just get FK's..
My cousin has like 5k or so on his and they drive really really good considering we modified his fronts and he has no collars rear.
if i was on a tight budget... i would get some ground controls matched with some nice adjustable struts and camber plates.... build your own per se... you can pick the spring rates, have adjustable dampening, and spread out the cost http://www.ground-control-stor...CA=88
also here's a better question how about on 15inch wheels? wheel gap too much? im stuck on the 15's cause im getting a good price on them
Wheel size has nothing to do with wheel gap. Tire size does. Assuming the OD tire diameter is the same on 15's-19's the wheel gap will be the same.
That being said 15's are entirely too small to carry the visual "weight" of the MKV.
exactly, id rather keep saving and do it right, then to get crap and have to do it twice and cost more in the long run
I have really wanted to see these coils put to the test on a kid pad, see if they really can hold the tires on the ground enough so that braking is adequate in hard braking scenarios. There is no way $300 will get you a decent full coil suspension.

You know there isn't a full coilover suspension for our cars. They are just shocks and springs in the rear.
heres my rabbit when it was on racelands (all the way down).. not too low. id just hang on a little longer and go for FK if i were to do it again...
but on a positive note.. i never had any issues with em.. and i used the struts with bags from july until a few weeks ago when i switched the fronts to airlift struts. http://****************.com/smile/emthup.gif
i currently have the Vmaxx's on my car. only had them on for about 1K miles or so and no complaints thus far. the ride is actually fairly comparable to stock, and with the OEM detroits on there it looks ok i think. i wish they went a bit lower, but since it's my daily i'm ok with how it sits and drives as is. i was in the same boat as you though - i have a project where all my $$ is going and i just wanted something decent to get it lower.
fronts and rears all the way down with collars still in:
VMaxx and Raceland shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence.
VMaxx have been around for quite sometime and are repped by Stratomosphere (a reputable company).
Raceland is cheap Ebay Chinese crap repped by a faceless company.
If you dont care about ride quality or actual performance the VMaxx's will be just fine.
