ChrisFix I have to ask are you going to procharge turbo or supercharge the car
Chris with the negative camber, You went fully negative and it didn't look that bad yet how come you see some cars with wheels about to fall off. is there a point of too much negative camber?
chase coffel no to much is useless
Too much negative camber is something ricers end up doing and it is actually dangerous.
ChrisFix Hey Chris! I need help! One of my car tail light (left side) does not turn on when headlights are on but do work when I press the break... any idea what might be? Any help will be very much appreciated! Thank You
don't you wish you could borrow ChrisFix for a weekend to help you with all these jobs XD
I'm almost ready to go see him in person. That would be epic if one of his subscribers was to get his help and post all the videos from start to finish. PICK ME PICK ME!!!!! Wouldn't that be just awesome tho?
@@martinfreeman6227 I wish he would have a give away to help people. Buy their own parts and he installs them. THAT WOULD BE EPIC!!!

Chrisfix fiverr for car part installs
No
example of QUALITY over quantity. Probably one of the few YT-bers who can get away with posting 1 video every 6-8 weeks or so.
Have a look at total car reviews he the same
KentBummerM you’ve never known the master FrankieOnPc. We would wait months for a video, and people have been waiting over 2 years for another video. No one knows what happened to him, but we’re still waiting lol
@@PrazeTV pretty sure he's got cancer mate. Got priority over making videos
With the amount of views he gets, he can definitely take longer than the guys putting out garbage for 100k-400k views
I upload at least 1 every month , when I'm not going to school that is
I'm 14 years old, turning 15 in 3 months and I'm starting to get into cars, because when I get my first truck/car at 16, I want to do the mechanical work myself so I can actually know my vehicle, and I'm so excited. ChrisFix, if you're reading this, you're a big inspiration to me and I love your videos man.
Awesome man! Glad to hear it
@@chrisfix Wow, you actually replied! Thank you!
Jorge Rodriguez just wanted to say, awesome comment. Good luck on your first car man!
Jorge Rodriguez I wish you the best of luck my friend. 😀
you are so lucky, in my country I have to wait to 18 years old. I hope u enjoy your car. :D
“Grab these nuts” THATS WHAT SHE SAID!!! 😂
14:08
Ive been wrenching for 40 years, I have to say I think your videos are fantastic! they are quick, to the point, excellently described for even the novice type mechanic. Plus you put in the small details most leave out to make headache free work of these tasks.. Please keep up the great work, these young kids can learn a lot from a guy like you. Your enthusiasm is great as well!
+MJS thanks a lot!!!
MJS well said
I love seeing comments like these
MJS joatnh
Completely true. I’m 14 and looking at cars to get daily and channels like Chrisfix, Mighty Car Mods, Donut Media and a bunch more provide entertainment and an easy and entertaining way to learn more about cars.
I need to sleep but I can't without a story. Chrisfix videos are very good story's.
Some say his bedtime stories teach you to fix cars...
and, it's not the stig, but...
can you came to new zeland and i have ben woching your video's sent's the drift and poles proget your the best
ChrisFix IKR, and with all the nuts and slots in this video, sleeping might be hard.
I like how this dude makes everything so easy then theres me and my friend that struggles with the simplest shit
Who watches his vids for entertainment
I'm glad you find the videos entertaining!
Agreed, even if I have no plans for my car at the time, I always watch these just for enjoyment lol, its great 🤙😁
Lol I’m 13 and I still watch them for entertainment
Yup lol i am 14 this is hard to do any advice anyone
I'm watching to learn and work in my cars mustang fox body 90 e39 bmw 98 2002 corvette and a few motorcycles and my work truck 2011 chevy colorado 🙃 👍
i want a guide on how to install a girlfriend next to the driver :(
You don't... FOR MAXIMUM WEIGHT REDUCTION
jk, help.
First you have to loosen deez nuts, which are located just under the drivers seat.
There are some Pettite size. I strongly recomend them.
LOL
haha the replies
Nothing better than getting off work, cracking a beer, and watching ChrisFix.
#goals
Having absolutely no automotive knowledge whatsoever, but researching custom parts for my own car including coil over suspension...this is BY FAR the absolute best explanation and demonstration I have seen EVER. You sir are an excellent mechanic and instructor. Thank you for this video. I now know that I don’t in fact need coil over suspension due to your explanation. I just subscribed to your channel too.
This guy’s videos are unreal😅😅 so impressed with the vocals, production, editing, angles....it’s amazing haha
Can we Just take a moment to appreciate how he uses handtools just for us subscribers instead doing it as fast as he can. You are the best Chris Fix... keep it going.. i am 13 years olf
I am glad you guys recognize that. I used power tools on the other side since it was off camera and I did the coilover change in 20min lol
Just out of curiosity, do you use air tools, battery powered, or AC powered? A possible video idea would be what power tools to buy first to maximize "bang for the buck" and also what types are best and or most cost effective.
I've been catching up on your videos - great stuff. Thanks for all of them.
Rush Gaming You're 13? Keep watching stuff like Chrisfix! It'll help you a lot when you finally get into a car of your own and want to do your repairs and mods. These videos helped me do a number of things like cluster bulbs to A/C diagnosis and Diff oil changes!
Josh Hickman haha thanks
Rush Gaming Same dude. I'm thirteen too
it's 2am 😪... the sacrifices I make to watch your videos.
Its 3am and I was up at 7am... the sacrifices I make to make videos :P
Thanks for the support Martin!
I was awake anyway haha, just love what you do man, I don't even have a car...but I've watched your vids for over two years now, haven't missed a single one.
Keep it up!
ChrisFix same here 3am! South Florida life!!
i was about to sleep too. 3AM here as well, greetings from peru
If you don't know much about suspension this guy is very informative very good at explaining things I wish I was good at explaining things like this. Somebody that doesn't know very much about suspension you will probably learn a lot from this guy
Truly this is the most complete tutorial, even you give the advice for safety which is rarely did by other people. Good job man
15:47
Think every ricer that was watching your video just clicked off in anger.
lol
Mike G wait I didn't know ricers could install coils, aren't you being confused with show cars and ricers? Not trying to have beef with you or anything I'm just saying you're mixing things up xd
Mustang getting better week by week. Cant wait for a track video.
Thanks a lot! I cannot wait to get her on the track either!
I can't believe that this car was just a salvage and now it is stunning!
hey you already got her to the track. got different rims. and stuff. saw it on gingium's video.. said it was you.
ChrisFix you make the best, most clear instructional videos on YT! Perfect filming angles to see everything perfectly clear.
U r literally a fun mechanic to watch.....keep it up👌💯
anyone else stay up all night waiting for this
Thanks for the support!
Camera work is world class. How this doesn't take two weeks to shoot I have no idea. Production quality including editing and voice over commentary is crazy good, very seamless and integrated.
I’ve been working on cars all my life. I don’t need everything to be broken down. However I really appreciate him breaking literally everything down into detail. This is so helpful for someone looking into getting into cars and someone who might not have grown up doing it. I also like how safety was always priority in this video. The way he broke it down was also really easy to follow, gave good visuals with great instruction. Keep up your videos. I have learned from you as well so thank you
I already know how to install coil overs but I love your videos because they have more techniques and just the quality of everything you do from doing the mechanical work to the video editing is awesome. Thank you for the videos!
I'm only 15 and don't have a car but this is good learning now so I can do it in the future :)
Justin V. Me too but im looking to restore a 69 mustang
Average brony You should do a 65 muh dood but it’s your choice
Exactly the same here. Bc of Chris I actually wanna buy a salvage car and fix it up 'til I get my license
Justin V. I'm 16
Same lol
This man easy makes the best how to's on the web!!!! Thank you ChrisFix
Thanks a lot!
ChrisFix no problem! you should do a how to make a strut tower Bar and Install , or harness bar/roll cage! That wood be awesome.
Chris: *posts video 3 years ago*
Also chris:*Still reviewing comments in his old vids*
Me:Nice.
as level 3 industrial lead technician I appreciate the hell out of all the fine details, amazing work chris your level of details and teaching people these tricks to get it right is insane and things not many people would think of, ive seen people in their 40s-60s in my field that are clueless. From one "outside the box" person to the next, cheers mate.
I beg you Chris, please do a collab with MCM....the intro alone would be amazing
"Hey Guys! Chris Fix here!" *MCM Music* :O
awwww.... :(
I used to like MCM, but they look too much staged.
I tried when I saw them at SEMA. I called them into my booth when they had their Subarute in the car parade. They just waved and drove by. ChrisFix and Carthrottle had a booth together asking cars to come in and tell us about their car. It would have been too perfect. I think they were just busy or overwhelmed and didnt realize or something. Maybe in the future tho! I'm trying!
Yeah! MCM and ChrisFix!!
DazTheMe noo keep the old intro it gets me hyped and going
Monster truck mustang :D your the best
You know I listen to what you guys say lol
ChrisFix good job chris, just don't crash in crowd

Best video I've seen on coilover installation. So informative and love your positivity and enthusiasm. Something we need more of if we are going to tackle these jobs.
The way Chris organise video cuts and editing is filmmaker level, the information is so clear and efficient, and Chris' skill level is out of this world, and the guy has sexy arms too.
Favorite CZcamsr
Thanks Roman!
You make everything look so easy! I bet if I did this I would end up with a car that turns right when I steer to the left
ggj1987 lmao😂😂
ggj1987 ahahaa 😂
The fact that I undoubtedly have seen this video years ago, have replaced/installed at least 30 sets of coilovers on mine or a friends car, and still clicked on this video.. Love you Christopher Fixtopher
I love how ChrisFix doesn't waste time with long ass intros and outros. I don't have to watch him removing bolts or talk about non-sense. Straight to the point and makes it look easy. Would subscribe 10x.
I love watching is videos for entertainment!
Thanks a lot! I am glad I can entertain!
Me 2
Patrick
I'm not even a car guy... but every time I start watching your videos, I get hooked and can't stop 😂
SOME OF THE BEST CONTENT ON CZcams HANDS DOWN.
Thank you
bro i swear your videos are the best. you always make so much sense and you make this stuff look so easy. the only work ive ever done on a car is installing new headlight bulbs and now you're making me wanna go buy a jack with some stands and a set of coilovers
when you in class but you gota watch it cause yoy know chris fix video are always good
Fernando Ramirez and teach more than the class

Fernando Ramirez probably gonna learn something more practical from Chris than the class you're in.
Haha dont get caught!
ChrisFix 😂true
"Grab on to dis nutz" ChirsFix 2017
Lol
where?
I love this channel so much. I can hardly wait to start building a project car, it's something I've always wanted to do. For me, these videos make it 1000% easier to grasp that concept, so thank you for these videos man
hey chris just wanted to say that i love ur videos and I was actually able to use the knowledge that you have shared irl today. i was at a mcdonalds when someones suspension had broken, I was able to disassemble everything and put it back together properly and get the car driving again in like 30 minutes with only using one jack and 2 wrenches. Just goes to show that your work is actually making an impact :)
If you are watching and are not subbed to the channel, welcome and consider subscribing! We have some awesome videos coming up and if you like cars, you are going to love it! (engine cleaning, drum to disc conversion, angle kit install, roll cage install, abs brake repair, and much much more)!
Can you teach us how to properly put gas in our cars?
ChrisFix congratulations on 2 million subscribers!!!
Can you show us how to fix our gas meter
ChrisFix how come you just don't buy electric impact
ChrisFix :O this vid is on #30 on trending
who else watches just because the content is so good. but would probably never do this to their car..
Thanks!
me!
ChrisFix I'm going to use your videos on coilovers this week to install mine, but I hope it doesn't involve drilling or thread locker as I have neither.
Car is a '09 JDM right hand drive Honda Fit.
ChrisFix your videos are awesome keep it up dude
Roberto Hernandez yeah me if i even will have one
I found your channel about 2 months ago and I find things I am going to change on my car and you have always had an amazing tutorial waiting for me. You inspired me to start to do things myself. Thank you ChrisFix.
Man, you make great videos! Thorough without a bunch of unnecessary fluff. Keep up the good work.
New video showing the rear coilovers goes live tomorrow night. I decided to add track footage which I think is totally worth it so I had to wait an extra day. I think you guys are gonna be excited to see the results ;)
ChrisFix that's going to be awesome!!
cant wait man
ChrisFix what is your story how did you become a man that knows so much about cars and fix them with a smile on your face and when did you get your vette its awesome
ChrisFix did you do you alignment adjustment yet for the driftstang
ChrisFix I can't wait to watch it I love your videos bc I have the same cars a ranger and a mustang the same year model
Hey man, I thought it would be really cool if you could do an alignment at home using the string technique so all of us can learn!
That would be a cool video!
I use the "string thing" on my motrocycles, lots of racers use it on the cars too. Check it out: nasaspeed.news/toolshed-engineer/string-alignment/
Hey dude you really have a talent for explaining things clearly to us amateur mechanics. After watching you explain this, i feel confident in trying this myself which is cool because suspension was the one thing that i was uneasy about as far as working on cars. Great job mate! Regards from London England.
I've literally watched like three of your videos just because I like the way you explain things LMAO also the overall quality of the content and camera work, definitely earned a sub!
when it's 3am but you still want to watch this
#dedication!
Yes! First person to watch how to put coil overs on, that I don't have, in a car that doesn't exist!
let me fix that for you:
*Yes! First person to watch how to put coil overs on, that I will get in the future, one day, in a car that doesn't exist yet but eventually!
ChrisFix Is there anything you can't fix? 😂
Marcos Fernandez yea youtubes algorithm haha
Ryanthekill8 lol
If every video on youtube had this good quality would the world be a better place!
It's been about 6 months since I've done any car work. How good does it feel to hear those magical intro words from Chris again 💪🏼
i did this work once...iam no mechanic and it took me the hole damn day....the work is shity, but the award you get After it....is so damn awesome! nice vid Chris! greetz from germany
Hey Chris I can't watch this video now because I have to go out now. I love your videos and I hope I remember some stuff when I have my own car. Yeah, I know a lot of people do that. Thanks for making awesome videos and saving people thousands of dollars! You're always so happy even if you have to do something that would really piss me off. Because of your videos I'm probably going to be excited because I know exactly what to do because you explain something slowly and carefully, explain the things that have names a lot of people don't know etc. Thanks for making all your fans (and me) happy 😊.
*a lot of people don't have a car and watch your videos.
Awesome! and thanks a lot man! I really appreciate it and I am glad the videos have taught you a lot and are helpful!
ChrisFix I hope I can help someone else with what I learned from you before I even have my own car! Haha :D
this is the best video on how to install coilovers I love how u explained everything and your reactions keep up with such a nice videos man cheers
First time that I've come across your videos Chris. By far the most thorough I've seen. Great job!
He'll yeah been waiting for the coilover installation like your videos bro keep it up
Awesome! I hope it was worth the wait! I think you were telling me that you wanted to do some coilovers on your car right?
I don't recall but I do want to put some coilovers, I'm on a budget build so I can't afford those right now in the future hopefully
Now that's what I call a quality video! Thanks Chris !!
I’ve decided to start learning car stuff at 15 so I’m ready for when I can drive, I think your videos will be useful to me in the future
Amazing, simply amazing. All videos helped me immensely when i wanted to work on my truck to save money and have fun while doing so.
KEEP UP THE AWESOME WORK!
+ChrisFix Hi Chris, I am the Italian who wrote you a few months ago, I meant that if I can not understand everything, you are the only youtuber who meets my passion on cars, a greeting from italy
stessa cosa
Maa Ciao XD
But where are the zip ties? Or the welds? Or the dent from the frustration of doing this. Or the moment of realization that you have work in two hours and your car is in parts laying on a baby shark towel.
I don't have any plans on doing this to my car, because well..it's a CR-V, but I've spent the whole day watching your videos. Super entertaining and I love watching your progress!
DAMPING!!! You could have literally no other content and you'd still be one of my favorites just for saying it correctly. Love your videos dude!
Anyone else enjoy binge rewatching Chris' channel? Tbh its good ive been doing so. Need to know this kinda stuff for when i sink my bank account into my truck.
*when your coilovers cost as much as your car*
drift life
1.6k for my car’s coil overs from race land 💰😕
Trippy kidd lol no racelands are worth that much try again.
how much does an average pair of coilovers cost?
Racelands are lol 600 buck if not cheaper if you paid almost 2k for Racelands ur crazy BC coilovers are like a grand or so the ones for my 03 mustang are right at a grand
JeJeMoon 123 about 1-2k
Your videos always make me feel better when I'm sad like right now, thank you and keep up the good work
Don’t really know too much about cars, but I have great interest in it as a career. Your videos really help me out a lot man... just learned something new.
Hey I love your videos! Just a little tip and I'm not sure it applies to all manufacturer but you should loosen the control arm bolts so that the bushing from the lower control arms doesn't get prematurely torn. When the pinch bolt is still tight while the control arm goes down, you're twisting the bushing to a point where it gets torn. But all in all, lobe your video.
Thanks and yes that is a great tip!
1:02 deez nuts
got em
Alex O ahahaah
ChrisFix lmao
14:08 round 2 lol
plz stop with the dead meems...
I’m just getting into cars. And I was told this was the best channel to watch
Thank you! This is one of the best how to videos I have ever seen on youtube.
Please give this guy a TV show
That would be cool!
ChrisFix I'd actually watch TV again if you had your own show
Why would he need that when there is youtube? I am glad to watch him here....there are no commercials.
Damn chris u good man!

ChrisFix - "Ha! Got emm!"
You’re very good at explaining everything bro, great job.
Awesome video, you make it sound and look so easy that the average diy mechanic can do this at home. Thank you for being detailed and not coming across as arrogant or full of yourself in your videos!
Wooo you posted another video FINALLY
YES!!!!
This guy is so entertaining i dont even own a car and í have watch like all of his vidoes i am now professional with cars when i get one when am 18 aka next year i will surely have a clue what am doing thanks chris :D !
FINALLY! Someone who gave me a proper explanation to what these do exactly & what part does what. I can finally fix my car with some simple adjustments instead of an expensive replacement. I was so sick of ppl acting like they knew all about my coilovers & pretending to fix them and nothing would ever change. Thank you for this video.
I just realized ive been subscribed to you for 5 years, time flies and now you have over 6 million subscribers!
This is awesome. Learned something new today
Awesome! That is the goal!
ChrisFix can you make more videos at least 3 a week because you have 2 million subs that we gave you
