This happened to me when I had my budget coil overs all I did to fix it was to tighten the strut bolts at the top hat please like so they can see this!!!
Same thing mine did it then I grabbed the impact and it hasn't done it since lol
Same here. I made sure to do it once it was on the ground and they worked perfect after that.
What torque did you use? I have the Primos and the front passenger strut bolt loosened up, causing the busted strut sound. I tightened it to where the same threads show on the bolt on driver side, and it's not noisy anymore, but I just wanna make sure it doesn't happen again.
@@theangrypickle96 THREAD LOCKER and lots of ugga duggas
@@Boozi88 that's one way to kill a lifetime warranty. Lol
Been rocking Raceland Ultimos for 2 years now. I freaking love them. For normal daily driving they are perfect. Not too expencive and not too cheap. They also ride pretty nice. 100% recommend them!!
You got them on a civic?
My honda Del Sol.
Mark Nouws came here looking to see if they were good for the del sol. I’m ordering them next paycheck lol. Thanks bro
Mark Nouws hey mark I know this is a 5 month old comment but just looking for some insight. I see you say the are great for “daily driving”, I’m just curious if you feel they would perform well in canyon/mountain runs on a Wrx. Like cornering and handling wise or are they just good for looks and high way cruising.
Got some for my genesis coupe can't wait to get rid of the crappy lowering springs it has
I've had the Primos on my 2006 Mazda 3 hatch for almost a year. When I first got them, I went full send to the ground minus an inch in the front. An immediate 4" drop was insane! The roads in Chattanooga could be better, but what surprised me is that they would never bottom out. Very responsive even with the dampening set to 7 and 15 is max stiffness. I eventually got new tires and started rubbing my inner fenders, so I raised it over and inch. My 45 tires still tuck on stock 17's, but the extra suspension travel from raising it has made the ride so much smoother. So it's very stiff dropped all the way, and smoother if raised just a tad. I have fun no matter what height, but at least I can get around better. The raid had been destroying the roads.
Perfect time for you to review these. I was (and still am) considering putting these on my 2010 Mazda 3 hatch this summer. :)
Most under rated RUclipsr. Let's get this guy to 500k by the end of summer 🧐
Cody Nelson might be a little much but alway overshoot it in this case
No
I remember before he hit 100k I was around when he had 50k lol
Bet ❤️
The fact that you installed these 8 months ago, goes to show how time flies. Feels like maybe 2-3 weeks ago 😂
(When Robbie likes your comment)
Random person: so you know Robbie?
Me: you could say we're acquainted.
Adrian lopez he replied to my comment once so I guess you could say it’s getting pretty serious 🤷♂️
@@TheDommoss you must be a celebrity
That noise is a broken rear strut mount. Same thing happened to me and I couldn’t figure it out till i took out the fender liner and looked at the mount.
I don’t know why Robbie but I love watching your show. I love your projects but I really feel its how you explain yourself and talk in your videos. You are never boring and always keep my attention. You were born to be in front of the Camera.
Got my intercooler shirt and black committed crew slap sticker today!!! I love the feel and quality of the shirt and the design of the sticker!!!! Much love, keep doing great things and hope to see you at a show in the states soon!
I love your editing btw adds so much and love the way you say Mazda and I love this type of vids keep this up it’s great
Was considering geting these for my wrx. Great honest review, keep up the 🔥🔥🔥 content man👍
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!!!
Your descriptions of the ride quality was fair and on point
That’s all I needed to hear. Putting in the order now
The knocking noise could be coming from one (or both) of your sway bar endlinks. I installed the ultimos recently and one of my front swaybar endlinks does this. Probably need adjustable ones.
I’m at work and I stopped to watch your video!!! You guys are awesome!
My stock FRS makes the same sounds in the rear when going over speed bumps. It's all solid, she just makes noise sometimes.
My mechanic and i both thought i had a blown strut when i bought my car but the sound didnt go away after installing brand new coilovers (BC racing). turns out the knocking was the exhaust hitting the rear bumper
I was looking at getting coilovers for my Mazda3, good timing
I can't believe I've followed your channel for that long
I just ordered them for my daily Jetta. Thanks for the review!
Update? I gotta Jetta too
I’ve been running mine for a year and a half and had rear spring sag so they sent me new ones for free
love the videos bro
How do you adjust the height with the coilovers? From what it looks like, adjusting the bottom part of the coilover seems more like it would adjust the damper rather than the height?
id love to see a nice duckbill spoiler on the civic looks to rounded with that dinkly little thing, keep it up rob, love the vids.
how about something bigger?🤫
The sound is sway bar link bushings. Replace the sway bar link with MOOG if you haven’t already
I know rear sway bar end links make that same sound when they are bad the clunking in the rear
i got the same noise issues on my 07. no other complaints other than the noise. i double checked, i know ive tightened everything but it still unsettling and it messes with my head haha but got for stance and cornering especially for the price
Sick as always
Nice vid, Robbie! Stay commited
i have a 2010 mazda 3 sport, im thinking of either supercharging or putting a big ol turbo what would be better?
i mean if they rust and need to be replaced doesnt racelands warranty cover that? if so that makes this a pretty good deal since theyll just ship you out some new ones every few years for free.
Great video dude thank you
What about when it hits pot holes? Not deep ones but I mean maybe one to two inch deep divits in the road, does it get loud and noisy then?
ngl, ive run some raceland reds on my my06 impreza for like 4 years and im not complaining. Its firmer for sure but i didnt crank down the ride height and barely tightened the springs and only thing I can say is they squeak on bumps but my back's not broken and neither has anything suspension broken on my car. Im sure some teins or bilstieins or komis are better, but I am not dissatisfied with my purchase here esp for the price
The noise you get is from the top mounts I think did you change the top mounts when fitted
Just to put this out there. I bought racelands for my del sol a couple months after buying it and ran them for 4 years. Didn’t have any issue besides a little bouncy haha
Your knock might be caused the sway bar end links. Your sway bar may be hitting the sub frame. Replace those and your knock will probably go away.
i have the tein basis z coils on my 86 and i live in Pennsylvania where they murder the road with salt and had them for about a year and i have no issues surprisingly i guess some brands are different in quality
If it is only in the front i would check the sway bar link if they are not bad that can make that sound
Robbie I see you list your mic in the description, but thats that wind filter you have on it?
Yo bro did you have to pay any duties when they arrived? I'm looking to buy a set I also live in Canada.
Would lowering springs be better for $400?
I heard raceland are bouncy if you set them at like 1.5-1.8 drop. But the lower you go the smoother
im from quebec and ist true i want to buy raceland coilovers for my a3 8p and i was really esitating if its good or not
That sound is the sway bars. U need adjustable front and rear sway bar links any time u drop a car
Love your videos. Greetings from Germany
Nice hat man!
Notification squaaad 🤘🤓🤘
Edit: I went with raceland coilovers just to lower it. I dont race my car or abuse it.
I'm 5 months in and they're still like brand new! Quality parts for cheap
What kinda car do you have? What stage did you go with?
Are they bouncy like I mean if it where bad struts?
Yes they're bouncy but not back breaking, it does not feel like bad struts. Overall I've had no complaints, for the price and quality I say they're a 9/10
@@gavinmcclure8047 01 honda accord 😅 it's my daily
I live in quebec and you are actually right we salt roads af
Was watching my fav show and saw your notification and instantly without a doubt clicked so fast ( not many people can make me do that)
Robbie. The only place it doesn’t snow in BC is the coast. We get salt on Interior roads that KILLS cars... that and beet juice....😂
Bro that's how my brand new steeda shocks are they sound like there already blown it bugs looking for some else now
How camber affected after? Do you have to adjust it or doesn't matter?
What was shipping and duties like to order them to canada?
you probably wont see this but that bump is a sway bar bushing. either front or rear, i have a mazda5 and its the same as a mazda3 but with minivan doors. my car had a loud clunk that sounded exactly like that
Hydrodip some of your car parts to a carbon fiber pattern, like the outside doorhandles. But do it only on the civic cause thats the one that looks the oldest
Are you ever going to take the civic t the track
Don’t roast me but I put some 300 dollar amazon coilovers on my jetta and it’s been about half a year and I’ve had no issues so far (knock on wood)
are they still doing good ? 😂
@@daniielllll975 lmao I sold the car a couple months ago but yeah they were good for a least 2 years lmao idk bout now
@@bigzkiller123 mostly everybody who had a tc ends up selling it in the future 😭😭😭 idk why
Even with it not snowing it still rains a lot in B.C and drop around freezing at night so they still do salt the roads
I need help dropping my Mazda, i dont know how much to drop it and i really like the height of his mazda. Someone help!!!
I think you are looking for the words you get what you paid for
Love the vids should try doing stuff to the frontier i just bought one last month
Expensive coils have rubber over the coil to not have that clack sound when the spring hits its self hard during compression
happy civic 1 year anniversary btw!!
Install a charcoal filter in your car interior
I’ve been running some Maxspeed coil a little over 8 months and they’re not the most expensive set. They do get the job done though. Until you look at them then it’s and issue.
where do you get the wheels from and how much were they?
Did u get strut mounts and bushings??? That could be why you’re getting that sound
Stay committed!!!
hey robbie whats the name of the first song ? ❤️
Robbie the mazda probably needs sway bar bushings, mazda sway bar bushings get noisy really fast
I couldn't believe how small and thin the oem ones are, with plastic bushing! I replace mine with MOOG links and wow what a difference.
what would you recommend if i didn’t want to lower my car but still wanted something stiffer or more responsive handling?
Wider tires
I just got my mazda 3 a couple months ago, had the rear strut mount replaced, it had that same "paint can" noise. Then a month or so later it came back and now my struts are bad, I just ordered the raceland primo coilover set, will update on how they are after I get them.
Jeremy Kostusiak plz cuz I’m on the edge of buying the $430 coilovers
@@ThePenguinProjects I got the primo ones, I wasn't really looking for the drop but it actually looks really good and i wanted the adjustable damping, I've put a couple hundred miles on them and they are a lot better than I expected, I just kinda guessed the height and it came out perfect surprisingly, its a nice and pretty smooth ride, it feels a little stiff but that could just be due to the damping not being adjusted yet. But overall, I would probably buy them again if needed, Idk how the $430 ones are but they can't be too far off. And also, don't get their strut spreader, it doesn't work, just indented the metal of the knuckles and would shoot out, just use a big flat head screw driver and hammer it into the slot to open up the pinch mount
What site did you use to buy those coilovers
The sound you hear in tgevroad it could be the metal flexing
I live in AB and street park, if I put racelands on my car, will it ruin the coils during the winter?
No bro
6:08 Dude looks over like "what's he doing?"
that ticking noise under the car are your motor mounts (Rear)
Ahhh that maple ridge eastbound traffic ;)
Where abouts in Ontario were you? Up in Orillia it’s terrible in the winter 😂
dude you should try konig wheel too make the mazda so sick👌
Still in the Committed Crew!
what coils are you running on the brz
I’ve got a set of raceland ultimos on my MK3 Jetta, I love them, honestly.
I was tryna decide on Ultimos or the next one up for my Mk2 Audi A3 hatch. (Waiting for a euro guy to comment lol)
How long have ya had em?
I’ve had them a couple months. I don’t notice any bouncyness, they’re pretty stiff to me, but I’ve never had anything other coilovers.
@@itsmileyy thanks mate
I have a 07 cobalt ss/sc and i gave up on the turbo for a supercharger...what if you supercharged your brz and left the civic turboed...which one would you think win...
They cant be compared as theyre way different watch mightcarmods supercharger vs turbocharger to get an understanding. I personally prefer turboes
may i ask how reliable is mazdaspeed3?
Please please please do a bag install on the BRZ!!!!
Okay, first of all you have no anti seize on those locking collars and threads, if raceland catches this video they wont honor the warranty if the collars seize on. Also i grease the bottom and tops of the springs and use rustoleum rust protection paint that converts rust and protects things with a black coating even on powdercoated stuff cus the powdercoat wont last rust wise.
Also you should have put rubber shims on the spring ends thats most likely your problem i havent heard any noises quiet as day. Idk why they dont come with shims.
Hey I'm looking at getting these, do you mean rubber between the spring and perches?
wouod those fit on the sedan too?
How does the car look like all the way up
I like honest reviews of "cheaper" parts. Not everyone wants to spend $1000 on a daily driver. Someone mentioned strut tops for the noise... I think you should take a closer look at ur rear sway bar links/bushings.
yeah, I'm ashamed to be running BC coils even though I can get a new set at the price of shipping. Craptastic pogo sticks
loose heat shield was causing me to have that knock noise
The Mazda 3 mps is a true sport hatchback. Engine swap ;)?
aka the mazda speed 3 here in north america
Robbie how are the coilovers now?
Strut bearings?
I got racelands on my mini. Its bouncy but fun! Lil bounce never hurt no body
4pints deep how bouncy is it, extreme or a little bouncy?
@@edwinjlopez2708 little. Like he says you get what u pay for. For my car these were like 400 and the ones everyone swears by are like 1200. They make bump noises and I needed adjustable rear control arns after install
What wheels are those?
How many years can I expect to get from these ?
Roooobbbbieeee
Amazing Intro
