I have raceland coilovers installed on my Ap1 with a 5mm Pre-load. The handling is great, and the ride is smooth as butter.

How are you measuring "handling" ? And what are you comparing it to?

Based on his instagram he's comparing it to a used Kia Optima.

I’m measuring “handling” by the amount of pleasure I’m experiencing while drive my s2k. they have Great response & soak up the bumps, I’d compare them to the Street advance Z coilovers from Tein.

Ok, so no real measure of handling then. Based off of your items of comparison you have nothing good to compare to.

If you like them, that is great, enjoy them. But just cringe when I hear people talk about how something "handles better" with absolutely no real gauge to determine that from. YOU like the way they feel. That does not equate to good handling. Good to clarify that for anyone else that reads this thread and wants to buy some coilovers.

The stock S2k suspension is about eleventy billion times better than those. As are Koni setups and many, many others. Racelands are targeted to people who really do not care much about how well the car really performs, but rather just want to slam their car on the cheap, do not care that it is actually much worse performing than stock, and mostly just cruise and go to meets or car shows.

Did I ruin it by asking for an actual explanation of your vague measure of good?

Or did I ruin it by not understanding what that fragmented, unintelligible sentence meant?

Doesn't matter I guess, if either of those bother you then yes, please go. If trying to get you to communicate clearly is too much for you, then practically everything here (or just about anywhere) will hurt your feelings.
