Default Cheap coilovers for B5 Quattro!

So Raceland USA makes a coilover kit for the FWD B5 but not the Quattro. Their kits are only 262 US dollars. http://www.racelandus.com/c-39-audi.aspx I cant afford 700+ for coilovers, but I could swing 260. So I sent them an email asking them why they dont offer one and I got this back.

"Hello,

We will most likey be producing an Audi B5 quattro kit because all the request to make one. This will probably be within the year. If you have friends that want them also, please have them email us because we keep count of these type of requests.


Thank you,

Raceland USA"


So anyone who would be interested in going low for under 300 dollars shoot them an email. The more people email them the faster they'll likely get this to market. I also emailed him back asking if they would be willing to do a group buy discount. So we could possibly even get an Audiforums discount, I'll let you guys know what he says about that.

So what do you guys think?

Yeah, Stratmosphere's coils are V-maxx. Alot of guys around here have those, and for 550 not too bad at all. I've heard that Raceland's coilovers are rebadged V-maxxes. Whether or not that's true, I'm still excited by the idea of only having to spend 260.

Just got this back from Raceland:

"That sounds great. Keep in mind that kits take about 8 months from start to finish to be introduced to the market. This kit would probably take a little less because we already have the front designed it would be the rears that would need to start from scratch. We usually have a cheap introductory price when we start selling an item and usually do not offer any group buys. "

So no group buys, but the more emails people send them the more interest they will see, and the quicker it will get to market. Sounds like most of the legwork is done.

Their email is cs@racelandus.com maybe mention to them that you're from Audiforums.
