you win a virtual prize for some of the best lighting I’ve seen in a suspension install video - well lit up from the side and underneath , and good camera angles showing clearly what you were working on
Thanks!
Love the look! You should do a full suspension overhaul!!!!! Control arms, end links, sway bars, tie rods!!!! Just all fresh !!!!
Definitely! They certainly need to be refreshed.
Anti-seize all those bolts and clean those control arms and paint. Nice ride!
Love your videos! Also like that you don’t dispense with the pretentious naming conventions other car channels use in their titles. For example “1985 BMW M535i E28 M30B35 Turbo.” Seriously? I know true car buffs know what all that means, but that’s a mouthful for a video title. You keep it simple and I appreciate that. 😉🙏
I've been binging on watching your videos. Great content. I'm glad to finally see you got the detail right on the center caps. It's been itching me to tell you but didn't want to sound like a smart ass. Center cap aligned with the valve stem is that Honda detail not everyone knows.
Careful with the front jackstand location. Where you have the front jackstands located at 2:02 is not a lifting spot. You can damage the fenders pretty badly!
But it’s the reinforced jacking spot, not directly on the fender.
@@crxseth see how there are two spots on the front that look like reinforced plates?
You want to use the *rearward* ones. The forward ones are not reinforced.
Does anyone know why the heck the forward ones are even there? Confusing, risky of damage. They are a bit mangled on my car from someone using them at some point
@@brenfaltermeyer thats where the fenders bolt to the car. Its just a flat spot for a flange to bolt to
Like the real life scenario where you showed us having trouble taking out that 1 bolt. Did you do anything to the bolt to prevent it from getting stuck again? and liked the honest review at the end
No, I didn’t do anything to prevent it. Hopefully it won’t sit on the car for 20 years before being removed again.
Looks great! Thanks for sharing.
The instrumentals never disappoint.
I loved your video and when I install my coilovers this will definitely help. I was wondering if you have any tips specific to ride height adjustment and also setting preload? Was there anything you remember experiencing when setting those?
Hey Seth I think is time for a Millwaukee impact wrench 👍👍👍👍🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗🚗
Agreed. Maybe one day! 🤞🏻
Car looks awesome man. 👌
But why such cheap coilovers? Just get Ohlins. I know they are expensive but if can afford a clean S2000 you can afford them. I started with HKS gt, then went to HKS spec20 which is better. I just wish I’d gotten Ohlins to begin with.
Maxpeedingrods sponsored this video, so I installed them on the car. I’ll definitely be looking into upgrades in the near future.
I think the ap1 rims look the best on the s2000. Most people disagree. I have a s2k and crx too. Blade silver and suzuka blue
I like the look, I just wish the sizing was a bit better.
Awesome works and upgraded
Car looks great! What were you spraying on the coilovers before installing them? You need to get a dewalt or Milwaukee battery impact. I have the big dewalt XR and I havent ran into nothing it won't break
It’s the CRC corrosion inhibitor. Hopefully to slow the rust/corrosion.
@@crxseth I think I remember you talking about that in another video. Not a bad thing to just spray all underneath our vehicles especially going into winter
Great content as always 👍🏼 ….… not much update with ur current CRX build ? Under the radar or just busy ? 👍🏼
Just been busy and sick. Hoping to get back to it soon!
Wish i could get coilovers for my 2g lude
Looks amazing
Why you no have slotted rotors?
My front fender rub really bad when I turn up an incline
Looks good Seth2K (in s2000 font style)
2:01 jack stand placed on the wrong point I think? Supposed to be o the other place which is actually reinforced.
To prevent the corrosion on the coilovers ceramic coat is the best way. Yet, 99% of people neglected or don't give a F about it.
where in kentucky do you live at ?
Very nice and clean drop. Also what size tires do you have?
They are OEM sizing.
Did you have to use any loctite for this?
I did not use any locktite on this installation.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice looking! My wife has a 2001 and wants to redo her wheels. How should we go about getting them refurbished? Otherwise her car is in amazing shape.
There are usually wheel shops that specialize in that sort of thing. I just stripped all the clear coat off mine and polished them but it leaves them raw aluminum that takes a lot of upkeep to keep them polished.
@@crxseth ^^^^
Heating the bolt is wrong way, you need to heat the nut.
Good to know for next time.
If you're thinking the nut is fused/stuck to the bolt, that is incorrect. The steel sleeve in the LCA to shock bushing rusts to the splined shaft of the bolt. The goal is to heat the shaft of the bolt enough to free the rust on the shaft of the bolt. Thankfully, Honda is smart enough to use a splined bolt shaft, otherwise, once the rust sets in, you have to cut everything apart and press in new bushings. Given the age, mileage and amount of rust.... I'm betting there's a fair amount of deterioration in the rubber of the bushings, and you might want to consider doing that anyway.
Thats alot of preload lol
Needs more low
Sell the S2K now.. before prices drops.. use the funds for EFs lol
Hell nah keep s2k bro
S2000s will be the timeless car that wins out in the long run.
The S2000 is a very unique car. I sold my last one and sort of regret it. I’ll try to keep this one a while. EF chassis are difficult to find anymore.
@@crxseth Not unique ;...It's a Miata lol.. I know I used to sell them new lol
@@oldskool1979 Sounds like you've never driven one hard. Had no clue the Miata power band was all at the top near 9k RPMs.
