Okay, jokes and OMG YOU BOUGHT CHEAP SUSPENSIONZ posts to a minimum. This is a serious review for the company and my impressions of the ultimo coilovers.
First off, I called tuesday afternoon and verified they were in stock, the person I spoke with was extremely friend, and helpful. He checked stock for me and ensured they had them. We setup my payment over the phone, I asked for an ETA on shipment he said first thing tomorrow *wednesday* morning they would be on there way to me and I should see them friday.
7:09am wednesday was the time stamp on my email I received saying thank you for your purchase with a second email same time with a direct link to UPS Quantumview with an update of my shipment. It was already on its way, not just a submission received notice.
5pm today *friday* I got them from UPS. The box was sealed on every edge with there tape. and each strut and coil was boxed individually and wrapped up in plastic/foam paper. My $1300 koni/gc/tophat suspension for my old car wasn't packaged this nicely. No wrapping, nothing at all, everything was in one large box with flimsy cardboard separating parts. :thumbsup: to raceland.
Pulled one front and one rear set out and there quality is great, the welds are as good as or cleaner that my koni yellow shocks in some areas. the coils are very nicely wound and the powder coating on the strut bodies is great. for $400 you seriously can't go wrong with these quality wise. I'm installed probably 20 different suspensions from $500 to $2500 coils and these are on par with the upper price tag ones. :thumbsup:
By the looks of them, they are gonna go LOW. I'll be installing them next week when my dad's lift is free and i'll have some pics and a ride review once they are on. But for now, raceland is one great company to deal with and I seriously think they have a great affordable product for those not wanting or needing adjustable dampening/rebound etc. I do wish the springs rates were a little stiffer, but if you want that, get different coils lol.
