@@FR11 sorry these people love taking money from hard working people by using scams and taking other peoples influence to do it
Man you pumped me up with the Pilot content now I am back for the RSX , maybe now I'll finish mine 🙏
You have always motivated me to build my EP3 and wished that our paths would’ve crossed while I was stationed in your area!
Thanks and Yea same here but never know might happen still. Small world.. I love ep3 and it was gonna be my next vehicle until I found this rsx.
Been keeping an eye out for some coils for my EM2. Was considering the Maxpeeding rods but it is so 50/50 on their ratings, but if they're happy to replace them I may give it a shot. thank you for the in depth video!
No problem and I definitely recommend them. I didn’t even have them properly dialed in and they rode awesome!
Nicely done, great information and the honesty is appreciated 👍 keep up the amazing content.
Honestly is the best policy! Always!
Love them videos bro keep them coming !!
Thank you 🙏🏻 I will do my best!
I may need new coilovers for my EM1 in the future and this is definitely giving me a good perspective. Keep the content coming!
Thank you I’ll do my best! I honestly can say both brands performed very well and I’m impressed with both. I just prefer damper control that’s why I went with MaXpeedingRods
@@TexasHondaChannel I can definitely appreciate the damper adjustment, cheap suspension that’s worth the money is hard to find.
I just installed mine 1 month ago. So far so good.
Awesome!!!! 🔥🔥
I have on Tru Hart Street Plus on my JDM Honda Integra type r however they don't have the adjustable damper settings so I'm trying to get them dialed in
Thanks again for your help bro. Hopefully should be receiving the replacement set today.
That’s awesome! Let me know how it all goes!
@@TexasHondaChannel i will for sure
Hello, just some thoughts. While adjusting the upper locking collets, it may, as a side effect increase spring rates, although that is not it's purpose. It is for setting something called pre-load. Most coilover manufacturers will recommend pre-load for their coilover in the manual and that is set by using that collet. BC Racing for example recommends a 5mm preload for the RSX coilovers, and that is the thickness of the tool used to adjust the collets, making it extra easy to set. Also, typically the damper adjustments are supposed to be very similar front vs back. On cars with less weight in the rear like the RSX, it is common for people to run it slightly stiffer in the rear. Ex: 16 clicks in front, 18 in rear... but setting 7 in the front and 30 in the rear will make the car extremely unbalanced... unless there is some weirdness with the Maxpeeding coilovers that requires this kind of setup?
Driving in Killeen vs driving in harker heights lmfao. Nice vid
Love your channel! Im hoping you can answer a quick question. I have a 2003 Ep3 civic Si and im having trouble finding an answer to if i can use a EM2 coilover? Are they the same? maxspeedingrods offers EM2 but nothing for Ep3.
I was looking at Coilovers for my em2 I just got already got a rsx steering wheel and accord R Speedline wheels. but i have a wheel gap maybe I'll not skip over the maXpeeding rods coils 👀
Hey man! Would you consider selling your supercharger set up since you are going turbo now???
Any suggestions I keep blowing passenger side front strut car came with tein fill coils blown out kyb blown around Christmas put truhart just went out again FML 🤦
Any recommendations for coils ?
What coilovers did you have preciously? I was gonna get maxpeedingrods but they sold out for the rsx
I think I was running function form coils on my dc5. Cant wait to see what you do with this project!
I've ran these on about 8 honda/acura. I think FnF are the honda go to like BC racing are for nissan and jdm Toyota's.
Interesting. I never ran them before. I have been running Maxpeedingrods products since about 2010 to current. I haven’t been disappointed with their products. I know their customer service use to be CRAP I had a question before and they wouldn’t even answer it but now they are pretty quick to reply and solve any issues or questions.
@@TexasHondaChannel yeah they have definitely come a long way since they started as $215 on eBay. Now I would say they are right on par with raceland and maybe even a bit better in the longevity department. In addition they have stated to put out some other really awesome products. Their ball bearing gt3071 turbo has been getting some really impressive feedback lately and for $1000 it's a steal!! Evan Shanks just got sent one for his single jingle and was impressed by the quality will be very interested to see his opinion when the build is done. But yeah I've been into the honda stuff since I worked at the dealership at 16yo in 1997 and function and form has always been the "honda" boy coilover.
@@TheRealMrRoyal Yea I agree and I have loved Honda’s since I can remember but never been into the “fan boy” stuff I never really understood it. I use what works and Hey to each their own but if it works I say go for it! It’s not about what makes me happy it’s about what makes you happy! That’s how I look at it anyways. As long as your happy with your car that’s all that matters and the rest is just noise.
@@TexasHondaChannel I absolutely agree 1000%!! There are a few parts or pieces I have used strictly on looks or because I like what they "stood" for but in general all that matters is if it works I could care less if others think they are lesser or uncool parts. Just saves me money to spend on other parts lol. I mean hell I still run rockford fosgate subwoofer from 2002 off a Walmart dual amp from 2008 because it pounds and had moved with me from car to car because it just works. I've had eBay lips on every car other than my 99-00 si's or gsr's and "rep" wheels on every car that didn't see a track or autocross. They just work. Avid av6=street, volk te37's=show, luminous pink ray's 57dr or ce28's=track
I’ve put in over 1.5k miles on my maxspeedingrods. I’m only in it for the drop they do but other than that I want to upgrade I’m just skeptical on quality
I love how mine ride the drop is good but the quality in handling for the price is perfect for me personally
hellyeah keep it up bro
I'd love to see a comparison maybe eventually with these against godspeed monomax or yellowspeed.
Edit: I see maxspeedingrods has a higher end coil now a t6 or something. Would be cool to see a review on those.
Would be cool to do a video on them in the future but that would involve me buying suspension I wouldn’t typically own or pay for. I’m not made of money I really wish I was lol
Do you know how low the car was measure wise I'm also on 16s but I wanna try to close the wheel gap
Curious if the ride quality improved with the lower spring rate. I have some old Megans with high spring rate and they are pretty unbearable with 18's. 17x9+35 is the way to go on the rsx
It did help the ride comfort. Once the damper is adjusted smoother it’s way smooth. It’s feels stock now!
Irish ftw #1
@Texas Honda Channel have you ever gone to Calvary Bell County? The pastor there is an amazing man of God and the messages are very spirit filled
I'd ride maxpeedingrods parts all day, peoples expectations are too high for affordable parts
I definitely agree! They want Tein suspension ride comfort and quality for $300. I agree for the price point they are great
Do they come with tophats?
I want to get maxpeedingrods sp1 but its 350 dollars for shipping, i literally have no clue why
Did you get any weird noises or anything like that?
Am I able to exchange these through Max speeding rods directly or do I need to go through the third party that I bought them from on ebay?
It depends if the seller on eBay is actually Them or if it’s just some wanna be MaXpeedingRods seller. You could always message them on Instagram or Facebook and see what they can do and then send them the link of my video or something if they give you a hard time they’re supposed to be stepping up their customer service
Didn't seem too bad between the 2 but the maxpeedingrod didn't look like they would go as low as the f&f. I still like my adjustable suspension better lol.
They go plenty low trust me. I just don’t like my stuff slammed. I tried to see how low they go and they can go pretty dang low lol
@@TexasHondaChannel yeah that why I got air ride lol. That was always one thing I noticed about maxpeedingrods their inner threaded sleeve was always longer then most which ended up making the lower bracket larger. But if ya ever wana 4x4 ride height they the way to go for sure lol
@@GlassWerx It’s not as bad as you think for lowering but it does look beefy. It’s definitely strong I’ll tell you that lol
@@TexasHondaChannel yeah they look beefy for sure. I know they get low I had a set on my car b4 I pulled them off n did my air ride.
Wow 😮
I couldn't quite tell. What tires are on the RSX? I see they are Firestones.
I’m not sure to be honest lol 😂
I feel like the padding for the packaging seems weak so they probably become dead on arrival… they should also invest in fragile sticker as well. ✌🏽
Hey guys, don't cheap out on suspension. Either spend an extra $300 on low tier Tiens or save for the big boys.
Honestly, low tier Teins are pretty shit also. I used to think they were great until I upgraded to Progress.
@brutalb83 just bought some progress cs3 street and gonna put them next week hopefully.
When you installed them , did you also use any roll center/extended ball joints or inverted tie rods? Or anything like that? I would appreciate your feedback 🙏
@Amir Parvez Hey there! So I did have inverted tie rod ends when I was on my Tein coilovers. I emailed Progress to ask what they recommend and they said that the arm on their coilovers has been repositioned to account for the tie rod angle problem and that they did all their testing using OEM spec tie rod ends and ball joints, so that's what I went with.
@brutalb83 thank you for the reply 🙏 that answered a lot of the questions I was thinking. I saw that progress adjusted the arm of the coilover so I wasn't sure if I should get the extended ball joints or inverted tie rods so I was gonna ask them about but thankfully because of you I don't need to🙏
How much did you lower your car by?
@Amir Parvez I forget the exact measurements, but it's fairly low. About a 2 finger gap, I think.
One other thing about these coilovers is that they just have the one collar for height. They don't use preload at all and when you jack the car up, the spring can be moved around. Just watch to make sure that it seats back properly when you lower the car back down. I actually bought some helper springs from Swift to deal with that, but from what I've read, it's not really necessary.
Was your tie rod end pointing high?
Mine was i dunno if i need ep3 tie rods or invert them
Makes my tires drag on the ground
hi could you recomend me a brand of clutch for a kseries turbo?
I use the cheap stuff off eBay. XTR/XTD stage 3 6 puck sprung clutches or a masters. Depending on power level. If making crazy power definitely gonna have to pay higher dollar for a twin disc
@@TexasHondaChannel thanks!!
I bought this same set and i couldnt get the tie rod ends to sit flush into the lower mounting knuckle the tie rod ends should be --. Mine were \_/ . I went to a mechanic and he had the same problem
Edit : did you notice your steering wasnt as good since the tie rod ends were higher and not sitting straight with the steering rack?
I have the same issue but steering difference is pretty minimal
@@raffertygriffiths798502-04 base model?
I hope one day max speeding rods will sponsor me 😔 I’ve been trying past few months now 😭
It’s taken me years to grow the following enough for them to take notice.
@@TexasHondaChannel did they just randomly email you about it or what? It's weird because I see some reviews on that brand of coilovers and the people only have like 100 subscribers.
Sell old coils?
I WANT TO WIN I have an o2 rsx type s and havnt been able to modify it in the several months of owning because I stopped being able to work for 3 months now due to medical reasons
how much you pay for that rsx supercharger kit
Got it used from a friend for $1,500 it’s a complete kit with rail and injectors too.!
You need some inner tie rodsss,rush
What are the benefits?
@@sonnychiba8838 perfect alignment and not play at the steering wheel
Test procedure at best is unfair. Testing used coilovers vs brand new coilovers will lead to skewed results.
Yes definitely unfair as far as tests go because one has adjustable damper control The jdm speed are new btw they were just put on the car right before I got it. If anything the test wasn’t fair because the MaXpeedingRods weren’t even broke in yet. Suspension feels much smoother after it’s broke in incense suggesting damper control it rides almost like stock with these now

I received my coilovers. The 2 rear coilovers where leaking fluid everywhere. I called them and emailed them to see what they are going to do about this situation. They want me to pay a extra $30 for shipping for replacement dampers for the rear. First of all I shouldn’t have to pay anything for something that was there issue. And second I shouldn’t have to take apart there product to install new dampers. They should pay for shipping and send me new rear coilovers that are not leaking and they can have there leaking ones back. I am beyond frustrated right now. I need to get this car done. I have been trying to figure this out for 4 days now and they still have not sent me my parts.
Where did you buy it from
No lie 30 minutes after watching this video I just got my Max peeding rod coils in and the entire right side of the box is soaking with oil and the entire bag is filled with oil I'm not even making this s*** up if there was a way I could attach a picture I would the entire box is soaked. Honestly glad I watched this video now so I can actually get a refund on these damn things.
Take pictures before you do anything & you don't need a refund, you simply need a replacement set. Being you bought them on eBay you will need to file a claim with the eBay seller who in turn will have to file their claim w/ maxpeedingrods. Unless you bought direct from a manufacturer they wont help you (generally).
@@estewar03 yeah I need a replacement set not refund. I was and still am pissed. I'm restoring a 92 integra rn and had a buyer lined up for next week. I was going to install the coilovers today then prep the shop to paint the Integra this weekend. Shits making loose time and money. I already contacted the seller and sent photos of everything and said I expect a new set sent to me ASAP because this is affecting my business.
@@austoncarroll1433 Always order them from MaXpeedingRods website for best results. There are companies out there claiming to be MaXpeedingRods and aren’t them and they have their parts and are selling them with issues. They recently had to change their name on Instagram because so many fake accounts selling damaged products. This is a deep rabbit hole. I always always recommend going directly to their website for purchases.
@@TexasHondaChannel 10-4 I'm definitely going directly through them next time
