    Suspension if often the first thing you consider when modifying a car, but what do you need to know? There are a lot of options for suspension and among those options you may consider coilovers. Coilovers are a great beginner choice and give you plenty of options for your car. Today, Alex talks about what you didn't know about coilovers and what you should consider.

    I put coilovers on my last two cars because they had basic blah suspension plus they were old units. Mad a huge difference. I just left the stock suspension in my brz because it’s already low and has great performance better than some of the aftermarket coilovers I bought. Just needs tire upgrade from those Primacy to get the most out of its cornering and maneuvering ability.

  • @sadakotube
    @sadakotube 4 года назад

    Great stuff. A lot of people I know and helped adjusted suspension for sometimes believe that the recommended manufacturers settings are set in stone, when its really.. just a recommendation.
    Also 16-64 clicks just means more stops. The damping changes on a 64 clicker is a bit too much I end up adjusting them 5-10 clicks at one go to get appreciable difference.
    Here's to everyone starting to tune suspension right and finally realise the oem suspension is an exercise in cheaping out manufacture

    Everyone always talking about coilovers and lowering their car and drifting, and here I am more concerned with trying to get a good balance between maximum ground clearance and minimizing body roll because I am far more into rallying. Stiff enough to corner like a dream, but soft enough to handle bumps and jumps like butter, but most importantly, durable enough to not bend or break going sideways at speed. Since everyone is always talking about that stance life, I feel lost out here on my own.

    I have experience with high quality coilovers and Ebay specials. I have a set of Megan Racing Street performance with adjustable dampening, height adjustment and preload adjust, with front camber plates. A buddy got Ebay specials and the spring was loose and they only worked ok if you slammed the car so the spring wasn't loose. $1000 compared to $200. Spend the money right. You, and your car, will thoroughly enjoy it.

    Something to always know about coilovers... Depending on the setup. It's not a set it and forget it type of affair. You will be adjusting and fine tuning both your look and your ride up to a year later... And possibly even at the beginning of every season because the average temperature changes. Sometimes a lot depending on where you live.

I want to adjust the coil over to be soft when going to a mountain trail and when I am coming back to a highway I'd like to make hard-er suspension. Also, I'd like to be lower in the summer (Clearance 7-8 inches), and for the winter I like to be higher (clearance 8.5 - 10) Any suggestions?

    What about, is it a smart idea to install coilovers in this Wisconsin winter ? lol

    Where do I get the coilovers installed though? If I order a pair(I’m going to) I won’t know how to put them on, and I definitely don’t trust myself. 😂

      Get on your local Facebook group and ask around. Either they will point you to a good performance shop, or you'll find friends that can and will help you.
