ChrisFix I have to ask are you going to procharge turbo or supercharge the car
Chris with the negative camber, You went fully negative and it didn't look that bad yet how come you see some cars with wheels about to fall off. is there a point of too much negative camber?
chase coffel no to much is useless
Too much negative camber is something ricers end up doing and it is actually dangerous.
ChrisFix Hey Chris! I need help! One of my car tail light (left side) does not turn on when headlights are on but do work when I press the break... any idea what might be? Any help will be very much appreciated! Thank You
don't you wish you could borrow ChrisFix for a weekend to help you with all these jobs XD
I'm almost ready to go see him in person. That would be epic if one of his subscribers was to get his help and post all the videos from start to finish. PICK ME PICK ME!!!!! Wouldn't that be just awesome tho?
@@martinfreeman6227 I wish he would have a give away to help people. Buy their own parts and he installs them. THAT WOULD BE EPIC!!!

No
example of QUALITY over quantity. Probably one of the few YT-bers who can get away with posting 1 video every 6-8 weeks or so.
Have a look at total car reviews he the same
KentBummerM you’ve never known the master FrankieOnPc. We would wait months for a video, and people have been waiting over 2 years for another video. No one knows what happened to him, but we’re still waiting lol
@@PrazeTV pretty sure he's got cancer mate. Got priority over making videos
With the amount of views he gets, he can definitely take longer than the guys putting out garbage for 100k-400k views
I upload at least 1 every month , when I'm not going to school that is
Ive been wrenching for 40 years, I have to say I think your videos are fantastic! they are quick, to the point, excellently described for even the novice type mechanic. Plus you put in the small details most leave out to make headache free work of these tasks.. Please keep up the great work, these young kids can learn a lot from a guy like you. Your enthusiasm is great as well!
+MJS thanks a lot!!!
MJS well said
I love seeing comments like these

Completely true. I’m 14 and looking at cars to get daily and channels like Chrisfix, Mighty Car Mods, Donut Media and a bunch more provide entertainment and an easy and entertaining way to learn more about cars.
I'm 14 years old, turning 15 in 3 months and I'm starting to get into cars, because when I get my first truck/car at 16, I want to do the mechanical work myself so I can actually know my vehicle, and I'm so excited. ChrisFix, if you're reading this, you're a big inspiration to me and I love your videos man.
Awesome man! Glad to hear it
@@chrisfix Wow, you actually replied! Thank you!
Jorge Rodriguez just wanted to say, awesome comment. Good luck on your first car man!
Jorge Rodriguez I wish you the best of luck my friend. 😀
you are so lucky, in my country I have to wait to 18 years old. I hope u enjoy your car. :D
Can we Just take a moment to appreciate how he uses handtools just for us subscribers instead doing it as fast as he can. You are the best Chris Fix... keep it going.. i am 13 years olf
I am glad you guys recognize that. I used power tools on the other side since it was off camera and I did the coilover change in 20min lol
Just out of curiosity, do you use air tools, battery powered, or AC powered? A possible video idea would be what power tools to buy first to maximize "bang for the buck" and also what types are best and or most cost effective.
I've been catching up on your videos - great stuff. Thanks for all of them.
Rush Gaming You're 13? Keep watching stuff like Chrisfix! It'll help you a lot when you finally get into a car of your own and want to do your repairs and mods. These videos helped me do a number of things like cluster bulbs to A/C diagnosis and Diff oil changes!
Josh Hickman haha thanks
Rush Gaming Same dude. I'm thirteen too
I need to sleep but I can't without a story. Chrisfix videos are very good story's.
Some say his bedtime stories teach you to fix cars...
and, it's not the stig, but...
can you came to new zeland and i have ben woching your video's sent's the drift and poles proget your the best
ChrisFix IKR, and with all the nuts and slots in this video, sleeping might be hard.
i want a guide on how to install a girlfriend next to the driver :(
You don't... FOR MAXIMUM WEIGHT REDUCTION
jk, help.
First you have to loosen deez nuts, which are located just under the drivers seat.
There are some Pettite size. I strongly recomend them.
LOL
haha the replies
But where are the zip ties? Or the welds? Or the dent from the frustration of doing this. Or the moment of realization that you have work in two hours and your car is in parts laying on a baby shark towel.
Camera work is world class. How this doesn't take two weeks to shoot I have no idea. Production quality including editing and voice over commentary is crazy good, very seamless and integrated.
Mustang getting better week by week. Cant wait for a track video.
Thanks a lot! I cannot wait to get her on the track either!
I can't believe that this car was just a salvage and now it is stunning!
hey you already got her to the track. got different rims. and stuff. saw it on gingium's video.. said it was you.
This man easy makes the best how to's on the web!!!! Thank you ChrisFix
Thanks a lot!
ChrisFix no problem! you should do a how to make a strut tower Bar and Install , or harness bar/roll cage! That wood be awesome.
Having absolutely no automotive knowledge whatsoever, but researching custom parts for my own car including coil over suspension...this is BY FAR the absolute best explanation and demonstration I have seen EVER. You sir are an excellent mechanic and instructor. Thank you for this video. I now know that I don’t in fact need coil over suspension due to your explanation. I just subscribed to your channel too.
I'm only 15 and don't have a car but this is good learning now so I can do it in the future :)
Justin V. Me too but im looking to restore a 69 mustang
Average brony You should do a 65 muh dood but it’s your choice
Exactly the same here. Bc of Chris I actually wanna buy a salvage car and fix it up 'til I get my license
Justin V. I'm 16
Same lol
it's 2am 😪... the sacrifices I make to watch your videos.
Its 3am and I was up at 7am... the sacrifices I make to make videos :P

Mike G wait I didn't know ricers could install coils, aren't you being confused with show cars and ricers? Not trying to have beef with you or anything I'm just saying you're mixing things up xd
“Grab these nuts” THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!! 😂

Maa Ciao XD
Hey man, I thought it would be really cool if you could do an alignment at home using the string technique so all of us can learn!
That would be a cool video!
I use the "string thing" on my motrocycles, lots of racers use it on the cars too. Check it out: nasaspeed.news/toolshed-engineer/string-alignment/
Truly this is the most complete tutorial, even you give the advice for safety which is rarely did by other people. Good job man
I beg you Chris, please do a collab with MCM....the intro alone would be amazing
"Hey Guys! Chris Fix here!" *MCM Music* :O
awwww.... :(
I used to like MCM, but they look too much staged.
I tried when I saw them at SEMA. I called them into my booth when they had their Subarute in the car parade. They just waved and drove by. ChrisFix and Carthrottle had a booth together asking cars to come in and tell us about their car. It would have been too perfect. I think they were just busy or overwhelmed and didnt realize or something. Maybe in the future tho! I'm trying!
Yeah! MCM and ChrisFix!!
DazTheMe noo keep the old intro it gets me hyped and going
i did this work once...iam no mechanic and it took me the hole damn day....the work is shity, but the award you get After it....is so damn awesome! nice vid Chris! greetz from germany
Hey Chris I can't watch this video now because I have to go out now. I love your videos and I hope I remember some stuff when I have my own car. Yeah, I know a lot of people do that. Thanks for making awesome videos and saving people thousands of dollars! You're always so happy even if you have to do something that would really piss me off. Because of your videos I'm probably going to be excited because I know exactly what to do because you explain something slowly and carefully, explain the things that have names a lot of people don't know etc. Thanks for making all your fans (and me) happy 😊.
*a lot of people don't have a car and watch your videos.
Awesome! and thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it and I am glad the videos have taught you a lot and are helpful!
ChrisFix I hope I can help someone else with what I learned from you before I even have my own car! Haha :D
As a tech my self i must say really good and informative video bud. Very clear cut right to the basic doesn't say to much to confuse anyone.
Thanks!
He'll yeah been waiting for the coilover installation like your videos bro keep it up
Awesome! I hope it was worth the wait! I think you were telling me that you wanted to do some coilovers on your car right?
I don't recall but I do want to put some coilovers, I'm on a budget build so I can't afford those right now in the future hopefully
The way Chris organise video cuts and editing is filmmaker level, the information is so clear and efficient, and Chris' skill level is out of this world, and the guy has sexy arms too.
Hey I love your videos! Just a little tip and I'm not sure it applies to all manufacturer but you should loosen the control arm bolts so that the bushing from the lower control arms doesn't get prematurely torn. When the pinch bolt is still tight while the control arm goes down, you're twisting the bushing to a point where it gets torn. But all in all, lobe your video.
Thanks and yes that is a great tip!
mate you have done pure justice to your education and engineering degree , god bless you . thanks for all the knowledge shared .
Thanks a lot!
who else watches just because the content is so good. but would probably never do this to their car..
Thanks!
me!
ChrisFix I'm going to use your videos on coilovers this week to install mine, but I hope it doesn't involve drilling or thread locker as I have neither.
Car is a '09 JDM right hand drive Honda Fit.
ChrisFix your videos are awesome keep it up dude
Roberto Hernandez yeah me if i even will have one
Chris: *posts video 3 years ago*
Also chris:*Still reviewing comments in his old vids*
Me:Nice.
Yes! First person to watch how to put coil overs on, that I don't have, in a car that doesn't exist!
let me fix that for you:
*Yes! First person to watch how to put coil overs on, that I will get in the future, one day, in a car that doesn't exist yet but eventually!
ChrisFix Is there anything you can't fix? 😂

I’ve been working on cars all my life. I don’t need everything to be broken down. However I really appreciate him breaking literally everything down into detail. This is so helpful for someone looking into getting into cars and someone who might not have grown up doing it. I also like how safety was always priority in this video. The way he broke it down was also really easy to follow, gave good visuals with great instruction. Keep up your videos. I have learned from you as well so thank you
Now that's what I call a quality video! Thanks Chris !!
This is awesome. Learned something new today
Awesome! That is the goal!
ChrisFix can you make more videos at least 3 a week because you have 2 million subs that we gave you
Hey Chris, 99.999% of the time, your videos have more than enough info for me to understand every little thing. In this one, regarding damping - when you explained the compression and rebound - I understand now how the shock acts for those, but how does each effect the ride of the car? I am having difficulty thinking of how the harder or easier compression and rebound would feel from inside the car or change the ride.
Thanks for all you do, your channel is easily my most useful subscription ever.
Compression and Rebound are usually balanced with each other (if I recall correctly rebound is usually about half the compression rate).
Compression affects how quickly the suspension reacts to change, so a higher compression rate firms up the suspension. So under braking you'll get less front end dive, under acceleration you'll get less rear end squat and with cornering you'll get less body roll (though sway bars play a larger role here, no pun intended) so firmer is usually better for performance driving. Softer compression will allow the suspension to react to bumps in the road reducing the shock transmitted to the car. Generally firmer shocks result in harsher ride but better handling.
Rebound is linked to compression, it's how quickly the suspension will return to rest, too little rebound can cause the car to bounce around on the springs, too much and the suspension will return slowly causing a much harsher ride as your spring may essentially have extra pre-load on it when it hits the next bump.
I'm no expert so consider this only a basic idea of what they do.
Thanks man! I will try to simplify it and also dont think too much into it. So compression is exactly what is sounds like, it is how much force it takes to compress the shock aka move it inwards (make it smaller). Rebound it the opposite. It is how much energy it takes to move the shock outwards aka extending it (making it longer). Normally these settings are set from the factory and you cannot change them. With the double adjustable coilovers you can change them and make it stiffer or looser. Hopefully that simplified it a little more and makes some sense.
Exactly what I needed, thank you
You speak a verry clear english !!! Awsome. My english is very limited but I can understand 100% of what you said without problems.
Thanks!
Wooo you posted another video FINALLY
YES!!!!
This guy is so entertaining i dont even own a car and í have watch like all of his vidoes i am now professional with cars when i get one when am 18 aka next year i will surely have a clue what am doing thanks chris :D !
car looks like a beast😍😍
Thanks!
ChrisFix no problem ❤
as level 3 industrial lead technician I appreciate the hell out of all the fine details, amazing work chris your level of details and teaching people these tricks to get it right is insane and things not many people would think of, ive seen people in their 40s-60s in my field that are clueless. From one "outside the box" person to the next, cheers mate.

Emil Krumin what did he won?
yesss first merch
ChrisFix you make the best, most clear instructional videos on YT! Perfect filming angles to see everything perfectly clear.
please make Q and A video
Good idea!
ChrisFix my truck has gas, what do I do? =)
The fact that I undoubtedly have seen this video years ago, have replaced/installed at least 30 sets of coilovers on mine or a friends car, and still clicked on this video.. Love you Christopher Fixtopher
Please give this guy a TV show
That would be cool!
ChrisFix I'd actually watch TV again if you had your own show
Why would he need that when there is youtube? I am glad to watch him here....there are no commercials.
And here I thought coil overs were hard to install 😅. Thank you for this video. 👍🏾🙏🏾
14:05 "And these coilovers come with wrenches to help you grab on to these nuts"
I'm sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing :')
Anyway, awesome video as always :D
I love how ChrisFix doesn't waste time with long ass intros and outros. I don't have to watch him removing bolts or talk about non-sense. Straight to the point and makes it look easy. Would subscribe 10x.
Love your videos! Wish you would upload more...
Thanks!!! I am doing my best! It is tough to create quality, how-to videos quickly.
ChrisFix no worries! better to have quality over quantity. thank you for everything you do, much love!
Best video I've seen on coilover installation. So informative and love your positivity and enthusiasm. Something we need more of if we are going to tackle these jobs.
I'm 14 years old and i don't have a car but i helped a neighbour of mine replace his brake callipers and his brake rotor :D
Btw I love your videos keep up the good work!!!
a radom commenter :-) jesus now a 14 year old know how to change the brake lol
dang, I was like 14 or 15 when I learned how to change tires and change oil.
a radom commenter :-) . what's up man. Haha I did the same thing but my friend, not my neighbor. I'm 13. 😀😀😂👍
a radom commenter :-) sweat how long did it take you
If you don't know much about suspension this guy is very informative very good at explaining things I wish I was good at explaining things like this. Somebody that doesn't know very much about suspension you will probably learn a lot from this guy
New video showing the rear coilovers goes live tomorrow night. I decided to add track footage which I think is totally worth it so I had to wait an extra day. I think you guys are gonna be excited to see the results ;)
ChrisFix that's going to be awesome!!
cant wait man
ChrisFix what is your story how did you become a man that knows so much about cars and fix them with a smile on your face and when did you get your vette its awesome
ChrisFix did you do you alignment adjustment yet for the driftstang
ChrisFix I can't wait to watch it I love your videos bc I have the same cars a ranger and a mustang the same year model
I have a 98 camry.
WHY AM I WATCHING THIS!! I LOVE IT!
I'm glad you love the video!

bro i swear your videos are the best. you always make so much sense and you make this stuff look so easy. the only work ive ever done on a car is installing new headlight bulbs and now you're making me wanna go buy a jack with some stands and a set of coilovers
Plz make a video on how to install supercharger
Im saving up for one! Stay tuned!
ChrisFix ok thanks I love your videos 💯
ChrisFix or turbo
ChrisFix Hey Chris is ride quality good on those QA1 SET UP
@@Juhkwez not turbo, too much lag
How did i get from Minecraft into this?
I ask myself the same question lol
*when your coilovers cost as much as your car*
drift life
1.6k for my car’s coil overs from race land 💰😕
Trippy kidd lol no racelands are worth that much try again.
how much does an average pair of coilovers cost?
Racelands are lol 600 buck if not cheaper if you paid almost 2k for Racelands ur crazy BC coilovers are like a grand or so the ones for my 03 mustang are right at a grand
JeJeMoon 123 about 1-2k
I’m just getting into cars. And I was told this was the best channel to watch
Nice videos I learn a lot from them keep the good work up
Awesome! That is what I like to hear!
Yeah ima do dual calipers on my 240sx s13
Chris would you think if I put coil overs on my supra it would look good?
If you are watching and are not subbed to the channel, welcome and consider subscribing! We have some awesome videos coming up and if you like cars, you are going to love it! (engine cleaning, drum to disc conversion, angle kit install, roll cage install, abs brake repair, and much much more)!
Can you teach us how to properly put gas in our cars?

Can you show us how to fix our gas meter
ChrisFix how come you just don't buy electric impact
ChrisFix :O this vid is on #30 on trending
why do I even watch these, I don't have a car or a driving license.
Learning this stuff for my rat rod planned for after Ive turned 18! A few more years of learning with my dad and his old lancia and I should be good!👍
how is this trending #27 omg
Pretty cool right!?!
ChrisFix yes
Eagerly waiting for the engine clean video. It'd be awesome if you do it using household items :)
You know it ;)
Me too. My GTI needs it, but my daily Fusion REALLY needs it. And it's the 3.5 so it is crowded as hell in that engine bay.
Your videos are sooooo cool ! :D But I don't have a car, I have 12 years old ! x)
Well when you get a car you will be ready and know more than most people on the road!

This is a perfect tutorial, thank you
Glad the video was helpful!

I'm watching and I got the same car my car looks like it came out of a junkyard go check it out my channels called
(RL Racing Garage)
Me... jk
It’s good to see there are still dudes with common sense and general knowledge. Good job and thank you my dude .
I did as instructed then i realised, im too broke to afford parts lmao
15:19 I mean the gap between the coilover and the wheel is fixed, because the coilover is mounted to the knuckle... negative or positive camber won't affect that gap
I was making sure the design of the coilover wouldn't interfere with the wheels I have on, sometimes that can happen depending on the set up being run!
@@chrisfix That definitely makes sense... it's just that you said "because the top of our tire is tucked in a little bit that way [...]" (referring to the camber angle), so I hope you see where I'm coming from. I hope I don't come across as too nitpicky, I was just a little confused... So I'll take the chance to tell you that I definitely enjoyed the video (even though I'll never install coilovers in any car XD)
Bro...your vids are the 💩 love how informative everything you drop is
lol thanks a lot!
i swear ChrisFix makes everything so easy
this is some quality info
6:31 is this a good idea ? Wouldn't there already be a bump stop on the coilover if it would be necessary ?
Most of the time they don't come with any or are really small, so I would definitely transfer it over!
FINALLY! Someone who gave me a proper explanation to what these do exactly & what part does what. I can finally fix my car with some simple adjustments instead of an expensive replacement. I was so sick of ppl acting like they knew all about my coilovers & pretending to fix them and nothing would ever change. Thank you for this video.
