+Manny787 thank you for the like and sub bro. I greatly appreciate it, and I'm sure you're loving the SX-T those are very nice and pick up smoothly. Any plans on mods?
Midnight Mystery I always appreciate the feedback. this was definitely forever ago, but I’m happy to see people still watch my vlogs when I first started. I don’t do videos anymore, but it’s always nice to see people still enjoy the content. 😊
Papi Glo there's quite a few things you can do with your 16 LX. You can add an intake, (preferably a short ram) a throttle spacer, oil catch can. Keep in mind that these won't necessarily give you a drastic increase in power, but the intake will make the engine sound a bit more aggressive
+Steven Tooley mines also a 15' LX as well. No shame on my end honestly. Love it even if it's non turbo'd. The Wheel size I have right now is 20X8.5 +35 offset. Tire size is 225/35R20
+Steven Tooley lol dang that must be intense with the weather constantly changing. Well the optima event will be this coming Saturday in LA, so I'll definitely be planning on taking some footage :)
+Omar Arredondo I can't really say yes it would be a good to slam your Optima. Honestly everything you do to your car is based on what your expectations are. I would also consider on how your surroundings are just so it doesn't affect any of the ride quality for you or your passengers
Q Will lol glad to see talking shit and calling names makes you feel better. This is an old video and obviously I wasn’t the best at it. 🤷🏽♂️ I’ve not even looked at this in forever but I definitely agree with you. I was foolish for the longest time thinking I was going somewhere with this, but I ended up realizing It simply wasn’t for me
Q Will you know what? You’re definitely right! My deepest apologies on that. It was meant towards someone else. 😔 but to answer your question, when I did own the car, it handled a lot better. You didn’t have that awkward steering as if you’d be driving a boat. Even when I was hitting 80 ish miles per hour on the freeway, the handling was solid. Again, I sincerely apologize at that first comment. It was directed towards someone else that clearly just came on to talk smack.
Yeah, I'm going up to the optima store on tues. Also, I just got that Tesla style stereo in the mail, but I think I have to return it because it's not working with my trim level.
What is the use of showing work already done if someone does not know what is going on if you dont start from the beginning but start from where you already done work? You need to start from the very beginning just like you did from jacking up the car and video everything and have someone else either do the video or the work
thank you for this video and all your information
great content man.. also a 2012 k5 sx-t owner.. you got a like an a new subscriber
+Manny787 thank you for the like and sub bro. I greatly appreciate it, and I'm sure you're loving the SX-T those are very nice and pick up smoothly. Any plans on mods?
Did you have to somehow relieve the tension from the spring before removing the stock suspension?
Is it the same for a 2016 Kia optima
Looks so awesome!☝

@@SubieLou bro where u get the front bumper splitter?

Car looks good, I own 2014 optima ex.How much did these cost?.
What’s your wheel specs looks nice and flush to the fenders and quarter panels that’s the fitment I’m looking for
20x8.5 +35 offset. No fender rolling required
K5_ Lou thanks man I appreciate it
No worries man. I apologize for the delayed response
Will these fit 2017 kia optima hybrid
Did you have to buy adjustable end links for the front or stock was okay with the lowering coils
I have a 16 LX (no turbo) what can i do mechanically ??
Papi Glo there's quite a few things you can do with your 16 LX. You can add an intake, (preferably a short ram) a throttle spacer, oil catch can. Keep in mind that these won't necessarily give you a drastic increase in power, but the intake will make the engine sound a bit more aggressive
Subie_ Lou Appreciate it man. Loving the splitter, lol cant find one that fit the 16 model. Any suggestions on how to increase power?
Great video!! Got a 15 LX (no turbo :/) Can I ask wheel size (offset too) and tire size?
+Steven Tooley mines also a 15' LX as well. No shame on my end honestly. Love it even if it's non turbo'd. The Wheel size I have right now is 20X8.5 +35 offset. Tire size is 225/35R20
Awesome Thanks for the info! Wish I could go that low...live in the Buffalo area, too much snow ;) lol
+Steven Tooley move to cali! Expensive but you won't regret it! And you can lower your ride here lol but I wouldn't mind snow either honestly.
Wish I could, my cousin lives just outside LA, but got my kid here, and actually enjoy living here. You can get all 4 seasons in the same week lol
+Steven Tooley lol dang that must be intense with the weather constantly changing. Well the optima event will be this coming Saturday in LA, so I'll definitely be planning on taking some footage :)
Would it be good to slam my 2017optima?
+Omar Arredondo I can't really say yes it would be a good to slam your Optima. Honestly everything you do to your car is based on what your expectations are. I would also consider on how your surroundings are just so it doesn't affect any of the ride quality for you or your passengers
K5_ Lou ..thanks great advise
Do you have a link to the coil overs you used?
Did it help with the handling on the highway? Idk about everybody else but when it gets windy the car starts wondering and swaying a lot.

@@SubieLou I'm pretty sure you responded to the wrong comment 😐 I was just asking a legitimate question

I'm thinking about putting them on mine. I live in oceanside if u want to meet....
When were you planning on installing them?
Yeah, I'm going up to the optima store on tues. Also, I just got that Tesla style stereo in the mail, but I think I have to return it because it's not working with my trim level.
If possible can you tell me the wheel and Tire size as well as the offset? Does it also rub on the car?
Tire size is 225/35R20 and no they actually didn't rub surprisingly the wheel size is 20X8.5 +35 offset.
Subie_ Lou thanks so much
You're very welcome :)
does it rub a lot? I am looking at 20's with the same tires but afraid of too much rub.
Not at all to be honest. I'm actually selling my 20"s at the moment
Gotcha I appreciate you response. I am going to get the coilovers soon then order the wheels.
What exact coilovers are they
what size rim and tire are you rockin?
Nice video bro! What are your tire specs?
Leo they’re 20x8.5 +35 offset
What size are ur rims bro
So coils maxed out ?
Are you maxed out?
how are they holding up?
+MSH3423 so far they're holding up. I'll be doing a review on them in the next few days.
