    Keeping it real. No lifts, no fru-fru. Just the way we driveway mechanics work. That drop is sick! Putting this on my 2012 SS for sure!

    Awesome video, thank God GM makes their cars similar. I've been looking for a coilover install video for a 2013 Caprice PPV for a few days now. There's NOTHING. This looks close enough. Thanks!!

    nice video explaining the whole install, my car has pillow ball mount and camber plates on the BC BR coilover itself. Am thinking to remove them and using stock rubber mounts instead just like in this video.

    I was always told to put the jack stand perpendicular to the frame rails
    Incase you lean on the car it doesn't slide off.

  • @korosuchimu1479
    @korosuchimu1479 Před 3 lety

    So why not use the provided wrenches to adjust height. Also you need to measure ride height from to top of the spring to the top collar. And a grand for 3/4 inch drop

    I have a gap at the top where the nut holds the coil over to the car. if i jack the car up it pulls the coilover down and the gap disappears. is the coil over supposed to float like this?

  • @michaels.8244
    @michaels.8244 Před 6 lety

    I have these on my 03 maxima which I brought used. I never changed the set up from how the guy who won’t the car before me had it set. The rear is set just a bit higher then the front but it has play, it’s softer. I can press on the rear of the car & the coilovers go down. The front however have absolutely no play what so ever. Are the front coilovers broken or is it set so low & hard that it doesn’t allow for any play? What’s ur opinion on this?

    • @johncrankshaft2886
      @johncrankshaft2886 Před 4 lety

      I know it's been a year since you posted but front spring rates tend to be double and in some cases even triple those on the rear due to transmission and engine being in front etc.

  • @denchi938

    Hey klowny great vid. Im installing the same suspension on same car but my end link does not reach the braket on the coilover. Are you using adjustable end links?

    • @denchi938
      @denchi938 Před 3 lety

      @@joshmcdaniel7579 it reaches. The sway bar moves a little bit so you kinda have to play with it a little bit. Couple weeks later I got the adjustable end links from fatboy garage because the stock ones were making a clunking noise. Turns out they didn't tighten all the way with these coilovers for some reason but might be different with your car.

    My dad has a fifth gen camaro and he got spacers put on it so now the fender is scraping the edge of the tire should he get coilovers for a stiffer suspension to prevent it from bouncing into the tire or a fender roll????????

      @matthewabajian3492 Před 8 lety

      +DarkSidesHero 1. For looks and 2. He's planning on getting tired for the spacer to put it in use after the issue is solved cause we don't want this issue on the new tores

      +Matthew Abajian +Matthew Abajian Guessing he wants a wider look? Might as well just grab some 10.5" rims with the proper offset. Hit up www camaro5 com for the correct offsets.
