2:44 instead of removing the knuckle here. I typically just use a jack and a 2x4 and I jack up the coilover and smack it to one direction to get it out of the knuckle. - I know it’s a little sketchy but it’s so much easier then removing the knuckle
Hey man! This video is REALLY helpful! I was attempting my 3rd coilover install on my 23 crv but got damn I couldn’t figure out what else to take off for clearance to remove the strut, AXLE DUH I was 1 BOLT away lmaooo. Put my stocks back on, today I did the rear, tomorrow I’ll tackle the front, appreciate you!
The stock wheels are sick on the civic. Might be the first generation I wouldn’t bother changing. Width would be the only issue but I’m sure some wider replica versions are out there.
Thanks for the detailed steps on the front. I have a 10th gen and am going to install springs and camber adjustable ball joints. Seperating the axle from the knuckle is necessary to remove the ball joint and makes removing the strut so much easier as well. Nice work 👍
idk if you will see this but when i installed my coils, i separated the housing where that 17mm is by using a flat head. even a little bit of tension or force should allow you to have the coil slip right into the socket on knuckle. just some food for thought
On the rears, when you swapped out the top hats I'm 99% sure the rubber bushing underneath it is supposed to be moved to the new shock as well. 16:12 you can clearly see that there is an empty space without the bushing. This will leave the entire weight of the vehicle on just the shaft & aluminum top mount.
The Rev9 have the bumpstop under the protective sleeve already. Adding this would've meant the car rode around on 2 bumpstops and on the stops all the time.
@GarageBuiltHondas but it's not a bump stop, it's part of the mounting. As you pointed out earlier on the bump stops are on the actual piston portion of the strut where it would do something. Like you mentioned in your reply, it would always rest on the upper mount like it's supposed to, because there is no suspension travel there so there wouldn't be movement 😉
I know the videos old really hope to get a reply tho..how is the ride on those coilovers..price point is something I cood afford but is it worth saving up and holding off for better brand?
@ what are your thoughts on the entry level teins coilovers..would those be suffice or would even saving up past those be recommended for a daily driver
@caliraisedexotics no problem! Are you between 18-30 years old? The racelands will be fine! Lol. My homie is early 40s so it was a little too stiff for him.
@ I’m 30 years old with a 2 year old daughter trying to have a car I can be proud of for once in my life..doing it mostly for looks without spending an arm n a leg if possible
Will BC Racing Coilovers from a 10th gen touring sedan (non-si) fit on a 11th gen sedan touring (non-si) ??? it looks like it would? just asking because i have old parts from 10th gen and im thinking about buying a 11th gen and seeing if i can install 10th parts to an 11th gen! thanks!
Welcome to the nightmare that is VW-like suspensions. The fronts suck. My MK6 and MK8 GTIs have the same style. I have a set of springs for the mk8 that have been collecting dust in the garage because they're such a pain to install. Also, on the rear...threaded shock and threaded spring perch is meant for setting correct preload for the rear suspension. Use the spring perch to adjust the ride height with the weight of the car on it, then thread the shock to match the ride height.
Not a bad looking car but man, is that a big as a 2000 accord.... I hate that auto manufactures keep making everything bigger and bigger. Then have to introduce a new model that's as small as the original offering that is now to big.

not sure why im watching.. i dont even have an 11th gen... just great content thats why im watching, as usual hahaha
@lalalal8111 im curious as to why?? just wondering
lol same
Hey man I have a question so my sway bar link keeps snapping and breaking apart any chance you know why?

like through the knuckle? im waiting till the summer to install some coils
Dam, that actually looks killer man ! Finally, one that isn't slammed and cambered out! Now I wanna do this to my honda lol

Could go more sticky tire and spacer if you want better fitment

Thank for the video. Somehow I was able to remove the front shocks without having to remove the axle and knuckle
Nice!

@@EsvinOrtiz-kp3fg wish i could give you some help but tbh i don’t know that much still learning a lot lol
love the white on red and the drop!
That looked like a painful job, Jon. Having to grind the cups makes me wonder what the hell Rev9 was thinking when they designed these coils.
installing mine today, lots of grinding was needed for front coils 💆♂️
Will need this for installing D2 springs. I havent worked on any car before so this is my first time ever. Hope its the same process and steps.
With installing springs, you have to take apart the factory strut which is a lot more annoying and sketchy sometimes
As with aftermarket coil overs, you just swap the entire assembly out which is way easier
Another great video
Good details and commentary
looks fantastic!!!

Those wheels are awesome! 20" Desmonds?
I dont have access to a grinder, so I might have to leave the install to a pro...
Thanks! They're Rota Slipstreams actually.
Awesome content, do you work on ppls cars as well ? Curious cause Dizzy engines is no more and I need a trusted mechanic for some things I need done 😊
I used to. Not anymore. Only my close friends cars I'll work on. I don't have time for "customer work" anymore now that I'm a parent.
Hey, you don't happen to have the light wiring diagram for a '86 civic si do you? We haven't been able to find one anywhere!
No sorry
I know the videos old really hope to get a reply tho..how is the ride on those coilovers..price point is something I cood afford but is it worth saving up and holding off for better brand?
Save up for something better if you can. The owner upgraded to D2's a year later when he could afford them.
@ thanks for the info truly appreciate the response
@ what are your thoughts on the entry level teins coilovers..would those be suffice or would even saving up past those be recommended for a daily driver

Torque specs for the lower control arm bolt and the strut/knuckle bolt?

do you think 1 inch spacers would look good with these coilovers?
I don't think the coilovers matter. Depends on the wheel width and offset and tire size that you want to use.
will you make a ride quality video after its settled in?
👍
Ur lowered just nice bro...
I know this is an old video but I'm going to guess that sleeve is for an SI and not a sport
Maybe? I have no idea. They worked perfectly fine up until last week when I installed some D2's onto the car.
Cool. Thank you.
No problem!
I put rev9’s on my 10th gen accord and then mmm shits lasted a week
Lame.

Can you share the measures from all 4 corners ?
I can't. The car isn't mine, and I haven't seen the owner in person in 2 months. With coilovers you can lower it as low as the coilovers allow you to.
Can I get a link on where to get these exact ones please?
I'm unsure. The owner of the car bought them online. Just Google shop them.
No SI trim? Sad
Yeah idk why grinded that.... VW/Audi/ and even BMW use the tool to spread it open.
It doesn't seem correct to me. OEM slid in and out perfectly. In my opinion it should fit exactly the same as OEM.
Did you get any warning lights on the dash after installing the coilovers.? Great video by the way.
No, nothing at all.
the rear spring is wrongly installed. it should be an adjuster at the top..

Is this car a stick shift?
It's automatic
@@GarageBuiltHondas do they make these in stick at all in regular sedan?
I'm not sure.
@@BulliKid yes

Lol
The whole video looked like struggled
This is everyday if you're ever working on a car.
🔥🔥🔥😇😉🍻🍺
These new civics just don’t have any appeal.. I chose the right time to go domestic
I like them. I didn’t like the previous “spaceship” generation.
