Raceland vs. Monroe?

So I have huge dilemma. The question is should I buy Raceland coiovers or Monroe OE Replacement Strut Assembly? Both are the same price $430(including shipping). The Racelands are height adjustable, but based on people's opinions, they're not so good. The Monroe offers better reliablity but it is not height adjustable.

Monroe Shock Absorber and Strut Assembly:

I plan on buying one or the other asap, so let me know what you guys think!! :)

I'm really short on money though. I need to buy springs and struts asap and in the future, ill save up for some buddy clubs or Joni/gc.

Yeah, I have heard nothing but bad things about Racelands.
Not sure how I feel, but I've seen quite a few people recently being pretty happy with the TruHart setups.

Need to pay attention to TunerSports.

$435 shipped for your car. Use SpringSavings discount code as it says in the store. I left feedback regarding the Konis in the TunerSports "to buy or not to buy" thread.

Those are only struts though. I need both springs and struts for the max price of 450.

Im 100% agree with you on that, but right now I don't have the money. My car is only lowered on springs, with really damaged my struts, so I have to buy the whole thing.

So I guess I shouldn't buy the racelands then. But how about the Monroe ones? Are they more reliable? Btw, I'm also checking craigslist for part outs too.

why not just buy struts and reuse the springs you have?

The front is way too low and the rears are too high. Also, the rear passenger side sits higher than the rear driver side. But most importantly, it really rides like shit. The ride is waaay too stiff.
