Yeah they have a different setup on the 4s. Be curious to know what RWs recommends to determine max height. Would be scary to thread it too far out without knowing and have it potentially fail.

Has anyone been in contact with them lately? I sent an email last week and never heard back. Seems like they got a few sales and then went silent.

I did, and they responded within an hour. looking at their site they updated their product lines. I recommend using the contact us section of their website. It seems to get me responses faster.

I have about 500 km on them now. I had to blue loctite one of the collars this week, but otherwise they have been OK.

I have sent them numerous emails, tweets, facebook postings etc. They just ignore me.

I have no idea what to even say, the coils ride well, but they seem to be super hit or miss. what email did you use? I know they changed their email. It seems like I'm one of the few getting service from them, and they've been spectacular. The only reason I hesitate to recommend them is because of their spotty service.

Have you tried PMing them here? They heard about my non response to an email and got a hold of me here.

The fact that you have to work so hard to buy a costly and critical component screams red flag when there are so many other competitive options up and down the price spectrum. Don't waste time on these jokers.

Anyone have any updates on their Raceworks coilovers?

I haven't put too many miles on mine since my 911 has been in the shop since June, I should be getting it back this week.

Just curious how these coilovers are holding up for folks.

Well...

Just great. The only post-install issue I had was one of the lockrings wouldn't stay tight. After some blue locktite it has held since August (about 2500 km). I think they broke-in a little, and I am very happy with the ride.

Would I buy them again? No. No I wouldn't.

Next year I am going to try to swap my rear stock top mounts in. Having done a few long trips, I do think there is more NVH (or at least NV) and would like to see how that changes things.

Thanks for the update. I just got my car back from the shop after a very long engine repair visit.

I'd agree, there is a bit more NVH but, not too much. Totally acceptable in my opinion.

I'm going to go back to FULL soft and adjust from there. Something still doesn't seem 'right' with the handling characteristics.
