$400 Coilovers 8 MONTHS LATER! - Raceland Ultimo Review 

This happened to me when I had my budget coil overs all I did to fix it was to tighten the strut bolts at the top hat please like so they can see this!!!

Been rocking Raceland Ultimos for 2 years now. I freaking love them. For normal daily driving they are perfect. Not too expencive and not too cheap. They also ride pretty nice. 100% recommend them!!

Most under rated RU-vidr. Let's get this guy to 500k by the end of summer 🧐

I've had the Primos on my 2006 Mazda 3 hatch for almost a year. When I first got them, I went full send to the ground minus an inch in the front. An immediate 4" drop was insane! The roads in Chattanooga could be better, but what surprised me is that they would never bottom out. Very responsive even with the dampening set to 7 and 15 is max stiffness. I eventually got new tires and started rubbing my inner fenders, so I raised it over and inch. My 45 tires still tuck on stock 17's, but the extra suspension travel from raising it has made the ride so much smoother. So it's very stiff dropped all the way, and smoother if raised just a tad. I have fun no matter what height, but at least I can get around better. The raid had been destroying the roads.

Perfect time for you to review these. I was (and still am) considering putting these on my 2010 Mazda 3 hatch this summer. :)

The fact that you installed these 8 months ago, goes to show how time flies. Feels like maybe 2-3 weeks ago 😂

(When Robbie likes your comment) Random person: so you know Robbie? Me: you could say we're acquainted.

I don’t know why Robbie but I love watching your show. I love your projects but I really feel its how you explain yourself and talk in your videos. You are never boring and always keep my attention. You were born to be in front of the Camera.

I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!!

That noise is a broken rear strut mount. Same thing happened to me and I couldn’t figure it out till i took out the fender liner and looked at the mount.

Was considering geting these for my wrx. Great honest review, keep up the 🔥🔥🔥 content man👍

Got my intercooler shirt and black committed crew slap sticker today!!! I love the feel and quality of the shirt and the design of the sticker!!!! Much love, keep doing great things and hope to see you at a show in the states soon!

I love your editing btw adds so much and love the way you say Mazda and I love this type of vids keep this up it’s great

That’s all I needed to hear. Putting in the order now

Your descriptions of the ride quality was fair and on point

love the videos bro

I just ordered them for my daily Jetta. Thanks for the review!

I’m at work and I stopped to watch your video!!! You guys are awesome!

I was looking at getting coilovers for my Mazda3, good timing

Sick as always

Nice vid, Robbie! Stay commited

I can't believe I've followed your channel for that long

My mechanic and i both thought i had a blown strut when i bought my car but the sound didnt go away after installing brand new coilovers (BC racing). turns out the knocking was the exhaust hitting the rear bumper

Don’t roast me but I put some 300 dollar amazon coilovers on my jetta and it’s been about half a year and I’ve had no issues so far (knock on wood)

I’ve been running mine for a year and a half and had rear spring sag so they sent me new ones for free

My stock FRS makes the same sounds in the rear when going over speed bumps. It's all solid, she just makes noise sometimes.

The knocking noise could be coming from one (or both) of your sway bar endlinks. I installed the ultimos recently and one of my front swaybar endlinks does this. Probably need adjustable ones.

Great video dude thank you

id love to see a nice duckbill spoiler on the civic looks to rounded with that dinkly little thing, keep it up rob, love the vids.

Notification squaaad 🤘🤓🤘 Edit: I went with raceland coilovers just to lower it. I dont race my car or abuse it. I'm 5 months in and they're still like brand new! Quality parts for cheap

How do you adjust the height with the coilovers? From what it looks like, adjusting the bottom part of the coilover seems more like it would adjust the damper rather than the height?

Love your videos. Greetings from Germany

i got the same noise issues on my 07. no other complaints other than the noise. i double checked, i know ive tightened everything but it still unsettling and it messes with my head haha but got for stance and cornering especially for the price

Just to put this out there. I bought racelands for my del sol a couple months after buying it and ran them for 4 years. Didn’t have any issue besides a little bouncy haha

i mean if they rust and need to be replaced doesnt racelands warranty cover that? if so that makes this a pretty good deal since theyll just ship you out some new ones every few years for free.

The sound is sway bar link bushings. Replace the sway bar link with MOOG if you haven’t already

i have a 2010 mazda 3 sport, im thinking of either supercharging or putting a big ol turbo what would be better?

Would lowering springs be better for $400?

ngl, ive run some raceland reds on my my06 impreza for like 4 years and im not complaining. Its firmer for sure but i didnt crank down the ride height and barely tightened the springs and only thing I can say is they squeak on bumps but my back's not broken and neither has anything suspension broken on my car. Im sure some teins or bilstieins or komis are better, but I am not dissatisfied with my purchase here esp for the price

Yo bro did you have to pay any duties when they arrived? I'm looking to buy a set I also live in Canada.

Stay committed!!!

I heard raceland are bouncy if you set them at like 1.5-1.8 drop. But the lower you go the smoother

Was watching my fav show and saw your notification and instantly without a doubt clicked so fast ( not many people can make me do that)

How camber affected after? Do you have to adjust it or doesn't matter?

I know rear sway bar end links make that same sound when they are bad the clunking in the rear

i have the tein basis z coils on my 86 and i live in Pennsylvania where they murder the road with salt and had them for about a year and i have no issues surprisingly i guess some brands are different in quality

Robbie. The only place it doesn’t snow in BC is the coast. We get salt on Interior roads that KILLS cars... that and beet juice....😂

I think you are looking for the words you get what you paid for Love the vids should try doing stuff to the frontier i just bought one last month

I live in quebec and you are actually right we salt roads af

Your knock might be caused the sway bar end links. Your sway bar may be hitting the sub frame. Replace those and your knock will probably go away.

What about when it hits pot holes? Not deep ones but I mean maybe one to two inch deep divits in the road, does it get loud and noisy then?

happy civic 1 year anniversary btw!!

6:08 Dude looks over like "what's he doing?"

what would you recommend if i didn’t want to lower my car but still wanted something stiffer or more responsive handling?

Roooobbbbieeee

Robbie I see you list your mic in the description, but thats that wind filter you have on it?

Amazing Intro

The noise you get is from the top mounts I think did you change the top mounts when fitted

Bro that's how my brand new steeda shocks are they sound like there already blown it bugs looking for some else now

Ahhh that maple ridge eastbound traffic ;)

Robbie the mazda probably needs sway bar bushings, mazda sway bar bushings get noisy really fast

That sound is the sway bars. U need adjustable front and rear sway bar links any time u drop a car

Okay, first of all you have no anti seize on those locking collars and threads, if raceland catches this video they wont honor the warranty if the collars seize on. Also i grease the bottom and tops of the springs and use rustoleum rust protection paint that converts rust and protects things with a black coating even on powdercoated stuff cus the powdercoat wont last rust wise. Also you should have put rubber shims on the spring ends thats most likely your problem i havent heard any noises quiet as day. Idk why they dont come with shims.

Hydrodip some of your car parts to a carbon fiber pattern, like the outside doorhandles. But do it only on the civic cause thats the one that looks the oldest

im from quebec and ist true i want to buy raceland coilovers for my a3 8p and i was really esitating if its good or not

hi good work on the videos

Did u get strut mounts and bushings??? That could be why you’re getting that sound

dude you should try konig wheel too make the mazda so sick👌

Even with it not snowing it still rains a lot in B.C and drop around freezing at night so they still do salt the roads

Install a charcoal filter in your car interior

I’ve been running some Maxspeed coil a little over 8 months and they’re not the most expensive set. They do get the job done though. Until you look at them then it’s and issue.

Wtf I’m watching your video and a raceland ad pops up 😂😳

What was shipping and duties like to order them to canada?

If it is only in the front i would check the sway bar link if they are not bad that can make that sound

Still in the Committed Crew!

you probably wont see this but that bump is a sway bar bushing. either front or rear, i have a mazda5 and its the same as a mazda3 but with minivan doors. my car had a loud clunk that sounded exactly like that

where do you get the wheels from and how much were they?

Are you ever going to take the civic t the track

The sound you hear in tgevroad it could be the metal flexing

I’ve got a set of raceland ultimos on my MK3 Jetta, I love them, honestly.

I have a 07 cobalt ss/sc and i gave up on the turbo for a supercharger...what if you supercharged your brz and left the civic turboed...which one would you think win...

Please please please do a bag install on the BRZ!!!!

Robbie how are the coilovers now?

I live in AB and street park, if I put racelands on my car, will it ruin the coils during the winter?

I got racelands on my mini. Its bouncy but fun! Lil bounce never hurt no body

What site did you use to buy those coilovers

I like honest reviews of "cheaper" parts. Not everyone wants to spend $1000 on a daily driver. Someone mentioned strut tops for the noise... I think you should take a closer look at ur rear sway bar links/bushings.

Where abouts in Ontario were you? Up in Orillia it’s terrible in the winter 😂

what coils are you running on the brz

The Mazda 3 mps is a true sport hatchback. Engine swap ;)?

I just got my mazda 3 a couple months ago, had the rear strut mount replaced, it had that same "paint can" noise. Then a month or so later it came back and now my struts are bad, I just ordered the raceland primo coilover set, will update on how they are after I get them.

I need help dropping my Mazda, i dont know how much to drop it and i really like the height of his mazda. Someone help!!!

hey robbie whats the name of the first song ? ❤️

Notification squaaaaad

Expensive coils have rubber over the coil to not have that clack sound when the spring hits its self hard during compression

Robbie, dont let this channel dieeeeee!!!! Sooooo, could you GET YOUR ASS UP AND PUT YOURSELF BACK IN GAME !?!?!?

The way Robbie says Mazda really confuses me. No hate just never heard it that way before

Might check the ball joints

I have lowering springs on my DC5 cause Im poor but theyve treated me well 😂 BTW that intro was 🔥🔥

that ticking noise under the car are your motor mounts (Rear)
