   just read a thread and apparently they are shit? is this just because the springs are wrong? so when they are compressed they are compressed to much? if i was to get a set and change the springs would this make a difference? what is the lb of raceland coilovers springs?

   The springs are soft
   The dampers are soft
   They have some silly collor on which reduces the travel
   
   You can change the springs and it wont make any difference what so ever. Basically you pay £200 for a coilover conversion kit, which normally costs £25 as you have to replace everything but this on the raceland kits.

   i heard the threaded section and the adjustable bits are really soft metal as well and tend to cross thread easily

   They are very soft and proper crashy.
   
   Had them on my vts when I wanted to lower it cheap for the shows over the summer, the handling was fine just ride quality really wasn't. It used to actually almost hurt if you hit a pot hole lol.
