EBAY $80 SUBFRAME BRACE + RED CARPET INSTALL
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 авг 2024
- Installed a rear subframe brace, replaced my destroyed driver side axle and grinding the block some more so it wouldn't happen again and installed some red carpet in the coupe. Car has really been coming along!
**For everyone who thinks they didn't provide the correct 2 long bolts for the subframe brace** you have to break off the existing welded nut on the subframe which is fairly easy using ratchet/correct socket then use the nut provided in the kit for the 2 long subframe brace bolts because the 2 long bolts in the kit is a different thread pattern it will feel like it works if you didnt break the nut off but all you're doing is stripping the bolt into it.
Sits up higher cus the LCA's are upside down bro.
Looks nice status symbol, that car has come a long way.
I apparently got the same set from eBay that you did Black boxes and silver shiny and all thank you for the tutorial as somebody once told me he gave the car an ass left
I had the same kit bushings went bad 3 months later also the same issue you had with that long screw I ran into the same issue so anybody that’s reading this try to get better hardware and new bushings if you’re thinking about getting the eBay lca I suggest getting the nice powdered coated ones and replace the bushing atleast a month later !
when you install them did you drop the car first then tighten up the control arms so your Bushings don’t blow
Yeah but they still got destroyed quick. I wouldn't buy ebay LCA but the subframe brace is solid.
im pretty sure you installed the rear lca upside down lol
They wouldn't line up flipped the other way. 🤷🏾♂️
You’re right, it’s upside down. Take a Jack to it slowly and it’ll line up.
Yeah hate to say it there upside down. Idk how they even fit upside down.
Lol they literally went right on. Seemed like it was way off when I tried them the other way 😂
@@StatusSymbol if you want your lcas to last, correct them ASAP. That’s probably why your ride felt drastically different.
Word! I just got the same set for my del sol. Your car looks hella good. What paint did you use??
Apparently mine are on upside down. 🤷🏾♂️😂 Thanks tho man. I painted my car with Rust-Oleum.
Ha ha those ICU laid at the passenger floor exactly same with my EG6. It's annoying looking at it.
Lower control arms are upside down LoL 😂
Only been pointed out about 50 times now 😂. Thanks tho
Yur not supposed to fully tighten the bilt once the tires are on and the cars on the floor
Did you ever replace the bushings? Just installed my eBay kit for a 5th gen mirage and eBay is all we have .. a lot of old heads said they snap
I haven't had them snap out anything but I do need to replace the bushings.
@@StatusSymbol ahh okay do you drive the car hard .. like hard turns trying to have the car loose traction or just cruise and hit high speeds on the highway
You can watch a couple of my recent videos to see how I drive the car, it's pretty harsh 😂. I wouldn't take it through the canyons without replacing those bushings. They should be immediately replace tbh.
You put the control arms on upside down
Yeah I know lol thanks.
How is the quality? Is it near as good as the good brands ??
I wouldn’t say it’s as good but it’s decent. But the bushings it comes with are absolutely garbage.
What b trans are you running?
B16
Bro the control arms are upside down.
That has been said idk how many times already and I actually thought they was too. But someone else already explained they’re not, and the holes wouldn’t line up if they were.
Why was your axle hitting the engine ?
When you run the QSD H2B kit you have to grind the back of the block for axle clearance.
Whats the benefits of this for the car?
Stiffens the chassis and handles better.
Where did you get the carpet?
Stockinteriors.com
Where you get your rims at and what brand
They’re JNC 034 I got them from my brother tho.
How’s your arms and frame doing ?!?
The bushing that go where the coilovers mount are already completely blown out lol. Other than that they're holding up fine. I would suggest replacing those bushing before you even install the arms with some energy suspension bushings or something.
Will this fit on a car with rear camber
I’m not entirely sure but I would assume as much.
i have the same setup and the lower control arm bolts don't go in all the way. like it's way off.
Well a lot of people told me mine were on upside down. But I tried the right way and it was like they wouldn’t fit.
What h2b kit are you running ?
QSD 👌🏾
What was your total cost?
For what the subframe brace kit or the carpet?
What exhaust do you have
eBay special 😂. lol it’s the 2.5” Yonaka. One of my favorite sounding exhausts for a Honda.
How is the quality? Is it near as good as the good brands ??
The subframe itself is decent quality but the hardware is kinda trash and the bushings in the Lower control arms are absolute garbage. Feel like plastic.
