Lets not make this a question thread, there's a lot of threads on the forum about MDU coilovers. However I'll put my 2 cents... I rode on MDU's for about 7k miles (almost a year for my driving) and they were my first set of coilovers. They were honestly not that bad and allowed me to lay frame if I wanted to. Ride quality was decent, and rode pretty smooth but noticeably stiffer than stock.
Since then I have ridden on and owned some of these: BC OEM style, Stance GR OEM style, JIC Magic, and I now own Megan track coilovers. Why the Megan tracks? They're a great budget coilover and they come in a true setup which allows me to run a toe arm for setting my camber at -1 or -0 for the track at my ride height. I've had good luck with them. Coilovers are getting a bit cheaper though, look on craigslist. I've seen some BC's and Stance for 700 which is pretty good IMO.
Honestly it all comes down to what you're planning with your car. Racelands however... Belong on cheaper cars. MDU's and Racelands feel noticeably different when compared to a quality coilover. Just that "lighter cheaper" feel.

a few of my guys are, i unfortunately have work and finals this next week (FML). plus my car is in no condition to show right now. I still havent fixed my dent from Wekfest atx, need to repaint my SSR faces or i might get them polished. Car will be going to the body shop in January.
i might even change the color or just add purple flakes or pearl to my san marino blue. Who knows?
Is WhatTheFitment Crew going?

GTR wheels with 1 inch spacers all around
my current setup
VIP Modular VX110. in a month or so ill be reliping my wheels. got these pictures from my instagram, feel free to follow haha
20x9 fronts +0 -2.? camber
20x11 -8 rears -2.4 camber
btw do u guys think, can i fit a 13.5 in the rear with more camber, maybe say -5 and more fender pull, my fenders are already an inch pulled. i dont know how much more i can pull though? if 13.5 is to much work ill just go 12.5

correct me if im wrong but i think with a 13.5 you would have clearance issues with the coil unless its a low offset. imo thats going to be way to much poke for a pull, youre going to need the fenders extended with metal work.
