Would you rather run coilovers or lowering springs? Leave a comment below! Don’t forget to get all of your wheels, tires, and suspension at www.fitmentindustries.com
Fitment Industries I live in the mountains of Cali and we have whindy mountain road so coilovers
Is there a suspension set up for a 2015 Accent? I know I’d probably be better off getting a car that has known parts but it’s my ride and as slow as it is it’s still kinda fun lol
Spotted Cow 🤢🤮
Coilovers
Andy Morton aye nothing wrong with uniqueness/ different taste
Coilovers, race

Hotel, trivago

For everything else, there's Mastercard
I love that Trivago girl
I want a t shirt, in front "at the end of the day" at the back "S'alright there buddy"
Make a shirt with the quote “Alright There Bud”
I'd buy it 100%
Hell yes WANT!!
Or the other with the Wisconsin Accent that only a few will know is Alex.
I'd cop!!!!!!
Or "At the end of the day"
man it would be great if you guys do a coilovers setup video, from lowering, preload aspect of the coilover and maintenance, I know this is a fast kind of video but If you guys can do a bit more in depth to understand it more.
Luis Med yes please!!!
Luis Med facts i still don’t understand preload
You guys are so helpful for newbies like me. May your fitments always be perfect 🙏🙏🙏
Is there such a thing as coil-unders?
They are locked up in area 51
King Crimson delete this now.
Y’all some typa psychic, you guys always post a video with the answers to questions I have RIGHT AFTER I HAVE THEM
How about "What You Didn't Know About Rust"
or, "So You Want To Fix Your Rust"
Sounds like someone has a rust problem
@@dylanorr2127 unfortunately older japanese cars tend to rust
@@marunero3 what car you have? Luckily I haven't had to deal with rust so far.
@@dylanorr2127 i think it happens usually in Europe or somewhere where there is warm/hot summer and cold winters (with salted roads, thats the biggest killer)
6th gen (96-00) civic... i need to buy quarter panel replacements and cut the cancer out and weld the replacements on, but its now bigger than just the quarters and its getting closer to right door but that should be possible to fix
@@marunero3 any japanese car in the conditions you just said. Had to cut down and redo my whole rear shock towers on my 07 Impreza because they were about to fail. 07 isnt exactly old yet in my book. German cars seems to hold up way better imo
I love watching fitment industries!! Its entertaining and informational plus im a car guy and love getting new tips
Super stoked about you guys droppin vids on the reg! new sub here but diggin the content. Alex is funny AF.
I actually appreciate the plugs in these guys' videos. short, sweet, clever
Love the content, can’t wait to order my coils
Spotted cow is a Wisconsin special beer ain’t it😂
Javon McKinney yep
Yessir (prolly more midwestern as we have it in Illinois but still)
One of the best, IMO. But that’s probably because I can’t get it in Texas unless I sweet talk someone to smuggle some here for me. 😬
Javon McKinney I have to drive up to Wisconsin to bring some back to Chicago 😂
@@jamesm8978 actually you guys don't, its a wisconsin exclusive made in new glarus, wi.
I just want to say that I'm new to the scene and finding this channel has been truly helpful. I love all your content.
Ps. I also just purchased my set of Coilovers from your site. Big Respect guys! 🤙
Hell yeah fam! Thank you! We do our best and we're glad you find our stuff informative. 🤘🤘🤘 -Edgar
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.
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
As soon as Alex said “a cold spotted cow” I could hear the midwestern gods chuckling as one asks “ope, mind if I sneak past ya” and the other replying “yeah, no you’re good”
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.
Practicality over fashion accessories
Have you been lookin into sway bars and tower bars?
Very glad I saw this video I was going to get euro street coilovers at ECS tuning
Spotted Cow👍🏻👍🏻😂😂
New Glarus actually does sound good. Gonna grab after this video.
Oh....and I love my wheels, you guy’s are great!!!!!
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.
jeff cho I was thinking Megan or ktuned for my FA5? Really like the Megan! ✌🏽😎
I am Getting Tein Coilovers and Konig Hypergrams for my NA miata, whatcha think?
Congrats on 300k subs!
im curious now that you explained that, i have a full set of "Megan Racing" coilovers on my car now and i will be dialing in my fitment as time goes on, i haven't adjusted anything with my damping and the ride quality is amazing and the look i have now is really good. P.S. i only had them for about 3 months now. im looking to go for a nice static fitment.
Had to throw the boy Chris Fix in there!
Ben Kincaid hey guys, Chris Fix here
idk why but i feel really happy for seeing a chris fix clip in this video
Congrats on 300k
Cool your Jets Bud? LOL
You are a trip Alex!
Stumbled onto your videos by accident. Love all the Wisco references.
Happy to have ya here! 🍻
If UFI (university of Fitment Industries, not UTI) was a thing, I'd so attend that shit! Be able to *BUY WHEELS, TIRES, AND SUSPENSION AT **WW.FITMENTINDUSTRIES.COM* and have them made at the university. That'd be so cool!
Loven the coilover videos cover more vip stuff too
When the video is about coils but shows a clip of TJ's BAGGED RX7 @3:00.
*Side note* it's okay bb, I still got love for fi 😉
Bernard DeRoxas most people are more focused on the sr20 Miata that made a faster pass than any of the bag boy hunt cars have done lol
Spotted cow is a favorite of mine! So glad my girl introduced it to me haha
Respect for the ChrisFix clip 👌
Gr8 video. Which brand coilover is the best for lexus ls 460
I just bought a 96 Civic hatch! I wanna have suspension built to a track spec in those words meaning for curvy roads! I am interested in bc racing coilovers but like u said about springs I’m be honest I don’t no what to order!
A ChrisFix snippet in a Fitment Industries video is just a blessing in a blessing
your right i didnt know about those things!
Can y'all help me pick out wheels for a ap1 s2000? 17s are the size I want, I'm thinking te37 sl.
So I'm new to running coilovers, I did just purchase a set of Silver's Neomax coilovers. Something I would like to see is more of a how to guide for dialing in your suspension. I honestly know nothing about properly dialing it in, and so many RUclips videos are people just going max low and calling it good. I do know that theres a lot more to it than just that.
Could anyone help with what to do to my 04 316i??
Alex: what didn't you know about coilovers?
Me (also an Alex): *EVERYTHING*
Can coilovers adusted ride hide seasonally (low in the summer and higher in the winter for the snow)?
this or that jdm or euro wheels for a 2017 veloster recomendations!!!
Fitment I've been watching you for a while long while but I had to ask what's the name of that brown 5 spoke wheel in the top corner of the screen, cause they look real nice.
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.
He’s the good type of nerd in school that you talk to sometimes
Nice new Glarus shout out- this Az guy got it
2022 (same as 2020) Subaru Outback. Each time people talking about coil overs every one assumes it is for racing. 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?
I love learning things at Fitment University
I would like to get coilovers eventually for my car(1999 acura 3.5rl). Due to my driveway, I would like to keep my ride height though. Can you do that and still get some... Of the benefits of the coilover?
I replaced all my struts and the front of my car still dips a lot when I'm driving on the freeway.. Atleast two bumps then the front rocks side to side then goes flat again...
Thanks!
Is TEIN flex z coilover rebuildable
Spotted Cow is fantastic! Shoutout to my Wisconsin peeps!
Worth getting coil overs for a brz? And will it affect the already amazing handling.
Spotted cow is a regional beer in Wisconsin, it’s solid
Nice pair of coil overs can make almost any car look nicer
Just want to say i installed ST-X coilovers on my Honda CL9 last week, and it had to be either KW, ST-X or AP because things have to be tuv-approved here in Denmark for inspection. There i said it xD
I knew nothing until this video. Thanks guys!!!
❤️
Ohhhh hellll yeahhh
@Fitment Industries What's the best coilovers brand to run on a 2016 fiesta ST?
Plenty of options I would say KW coils! --> bit.ly/334ZRAl
dopee
Gotta love the ChrisFix cameo
If I were to buy a set of rims and wheels off your website do they come put together or do I have to do that myself
They will come together mounted and balanced!
You sound like Linus lol! Great vid
I'm thinking about lowering springs because I'm on a #budget, but I'd rather have coils. I think I may just save.
Alex is hilarious
Spotted Cow🤙🏻🤙🏻 And So You Want A DSM!!!
You really know lot of things about car parts
I have an c5 A6 4.2 I can't decide coilovers,air suspension or lowering springs
AIRRR!!! Imo at least 😂 - Erik
My Scirocco does great on coils, even tough i am thinking about getting air.
what gen scirocco i had a mk2 87 one with a 16v
@@ThaHammieJaassee mk3 2014
Zero dislikes, lets keep it that way.
WHO DISLIKED THIS?!
Take back what you said about coleslaw but otherwise good beginner tips
Gross
I would chose coilovers but what's a good prices brand that can be rebuilt for a 2002 Accord SE Coupe?
There is definitely a fair amount of options for your ride! I personally think BC is a great brand that offers a kit, Or even Tein! --> www.fitmentindustries.com/store/suspension?year=2002&make=Honda&model=Accord&trim=SE
Do a video on “ so you wanna buy an accord “ mainly on the 2012-2016 v6 6speed coupes 😅😅
When you're on a bathroom break but fuck bud, you gotta learn about coilovers.
Just another good day.
😂
Alex went full joker with that smile at the start of the vid 😅😅😅
New Glarus 😍 I wish I could get it in Michigan
Does anybody know if Raceland coilovers or any good?
I got installed a Meagen Racing coilover kit for Dodge Dart and they clank all the time. When I hit small bumps, turning out of a parking spot then goes away and comes back. My mechanic has lifted it and everything looks and feels tight. I dont know what the noise is and it drives me crazy.
Literally just saw a guy drop his car using zipties hahaha
Imagine going down the road and then one of them pops
i'm ALEX my boy yes he's back
Spotted Cow is a Wisconsin Exclusive beer? Ive only seen them in Wisconsin lol
Had to leave a like because you called out coleslaw
Same bro haha
I feel personally attacked
That STI at 1:24 is my dream Impreza omg what a beauty.

You said spotted cow... And then talked bad on Wisconsin roads so I'm assuming you're in Wisconsin and earned my subscription!
You know it bud! 🙏🏼 😂
@@FitmentIndustries where abouts? And anything for RA1 Odyssey? I need to lower mine BADDDD
These damn plugs!!! Wow
I see someone all the way over there Wisconsin listens to bay area rap music huh? referring to the background music.
Listen to shoreline Mafia
That's the instrumental for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony For the Love of Money
Can you get covers on a Jetta?
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. 😂
MaximumVolume just go to your local performance shop
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.
Make a video on how to adjust and understand dampening and what not
Can you inform us about air cup suspension?
I wish i could work with you guys. Like I would clean the shop get you guys coffee , detail your cars 🚗 😭 hire me 😭😅
Damn you guys are playing Bone Thugs -n- Harmony - For the love of money /mo cheese remix?
Dope!
Are Bilstein B14's reliable?
An E46 M3 video would be great.
What alloy is that on top right? Bronze 5 spoke
