Christ allmighty... $262 for an entire set of coilovers? I'm sorry, but at that price, I wouldn't trust 'em. I don't care if other people have good luck with them, but I personally wouldn't trust that. If I was looking for "cheap" coilovers for a VW, I'd get KW V1s.
There is no way I'd put my wife out on the road on a $260 set of coilovers.

not trying to be a dick flite, but thats pretty ignorant, i havent heard a single complaint with these coils, Vmaxx, JOM's, FK streetlines, or any other "generic" coilover. OP do your reasearch and i think you'll be very pleased to know that they are respectable coilovers, no matter if they cost 262 dollars, or 800 dollars. if you buy springs you're an idiot simply for the fact that you can buy these coils for about the same amount you can buy springs for, and have a shock and adjustable spring as well, makes sense to me.
customer satisfaction is a far better basis of product quality than cost.
edit- i did click the link, they do contain the shock body, and yes that is cheap as fuck, holy shit.
somebody get in here and speak on how they do on the track. i am highly interested.

i completely agree. the 'you get what you pay for' is usually an infallible mindset when buying parts, but i have always been completely convinced that coilovers were insanely overpriced, especially if they don't contain the shock body (which i'm not sure if these do or not, i didn't click the link...). i've been thinking for a while there's probably a pretty good market for a cheap, non-race inspired coilover- it seems like i was right.

actually it's about time. i remember back in the day if you wanted cheap coilovers you got a set of arospeeds for $180 that would break on a pothole, and you still needed struts/shocks.
and they only made them for hondas.
edit- looking more on that site they make an e36 m3 header for $120!!!!!!!11 i will be researching this product...
and although i wasn't too excited about getting raceland coils since i do have plans for the track, i can't say i wasn't disappointed to find out their $240 e36 coilovers excluded the m3.
