I'm just doing the math...they're about 1/4 price of the cheapest adequate coilover.

And $25 is 1/4 of the cheapest adequate wheel.

I know you're being humorous, but for those that don't know, those guys sure as heck know what they're doing in the first place.

Most guys that buy these Racelands are dumb enough to consider an alignment merely optional.

And just to remind people what a LeMons car looks like:

What exactly are you trying to say here?

No seriously I'll just quote my mother and be done here;

"You see kids? This is why we can't have nice things"

Not picking on you specifically, because "everyone" seems to always say that, it has been said in this thread a bunch already.

Basically......"It's just a street car."

I don't get/understand that statement. I drive my Classic 99.9999% on the street as a daily driver. Hopefully I can track it more on road courses in the future.

Which is why I want my (daily driver) suspension to be excellent/superb. Because I drive it every single day. Over railroad tracks. Potholes. Washboard roads. Expansion joints. Road debris. Prone dead zombies.

I do not want to slow down to a craaaaaawl when traversing those obstacles. Nor do I want my fillings to rattle out of my teeth, to be bottoming out all the time, nor to have my suspension upset when hitting a cloverleaf with a nasty and unexpected rut halfway through the curve.

Just because it is a "street car" or "daily driver" does not mean that any less thought, care, consideration and attention should be paid to the suspension. Quality components carefully engineered as a system to provide a marked improvement in every performance parameter over the stock OEM-suspension for the given task(s).

Plenty of folks out there with stock vehicles, or modified cars, that can beat me in a straight line on a smooth road. No questions whatsover. There is a whole lot less cars that could keep up with me when the public streets invariably turn to sh*t. Those folks are slowing dooooown while their rear-view mirror falls into their laps. While I'm still mashing the go-pedal.

Benito, I cannot wait to follow in your recent footsteps as you upgraded to CSK's. Yes, I noticed. Much better than AGX's? (A rhetorical question, I already know the answer...)

I heard that they're painting over their airbrush logo because they're moving to a larger facility to push more product. Pity, they should have used the revenue for R&C, err... R&D I mean.

x2 /\ . I say you get what you pay for ! looks like most of the young kids are going to be buying these trying to get their cars slamed like the honda boys not having a clue about suspension geometry ! I say if you want a slamed car then go buy a honda slap on a " I love jdm" sticker then drive down the road and do the slalom course in and out of pot holes and call it a day .

i think it should be tested before being put on the chopping block. it is very easy to criticize, i think it deserves a chance
