- Yes. I really removed the springs on my $1000 coils! It’s a common method in a japan and in the Stance scene to have a stiff ride without paying $200-$300 for 326 or swift springs! Most people use 20-30 washers for eachf coil but I used a 3/4th 1/16th 38” steel tube and cut it into 4” (Length depends on desired ride height) This is a great bang for your buck and something to trip people out with when your at carmeets hah!

The amount of peopel thst dont knoe the difference between a nut and a bolt drives me crazy lol
Bro you had no preload on the back lol.... thats why it was soft
They do that to make maxed out coilovers even lower.. as dumb as that sounds lol. Stance boys.. sheeeeeesh.
“Super stiff” more like no suspension jounce at all, hope your fillings are firmly set in place, not that it’d make a difference
Anybody else cringe when he did this to bc coilovers
You had no preload in the rear no wonder they were springy ding dong.
How did you measure the shock shaft?
Dude just do it on stock suspension would be cheeper and do the exact same thing 😂
you can’t adjust.
Childish Dreams adjust what it’s a solid metal strut with no movement. Would do exact same thing on stock strut.
@@childishdreams you can't adjust what?
Eraun Petry the height lol
Colin Frank the higher adjust doesn’t even really work with this trick, it goes off how long your bar/washers/whatever you are using
I’m about to do this to my gs300. How has it held up?
My rear has been fine
Can you explain to me the difference between coil overs and washers do washers make the car lower ?
Washers just increase the stiffness to where the suspension won't flex or rebound back into the fender pretty much making it way to stiff for comfort but good for perfect fitment without rubbing when hitting bumps..but you'll probably go to the moon with it being so stiff. Never ran washers I've wanted to but I don't see the point it's kinda unsafe...
washer is cheap alternative essentially
@keatonwalker4002 what about just some insanely high spring rates on the springs? Or can nothing compare to washers
@@keatonwalker4002never run washers lol its 10x more dangerous lol
It's a nut, not a bolt
I like the vids man keep it up!
Thanks man!
how did the bump stops last
What are the plastic things called that sits on the spring
spring isolator
Could have just trimmed the bumpstop
So I bought a 3/8’s 1/16 thick steel pipe and it’s PUNY nothing like the one in your video. Can u clarify the size? Cause I’m pretty sure they just shipped me the wrong one
Can you run washers on stock suspension?
Yes, if you plan on just running washers there is no reason to buy coilovers.
@@alexc.8424 i wanna do that ...run oem on washers or pipe...but honestly have no idea what 2 do
@@fishtanknoob3833 do exactly what this guy did, just with the stock suspension. Remove the top hat and spring (do it safely and use spring compressors), then get rid of all the dust covering crap (if it is in the way and should be removed), remove the bump stop(s), then put the stock suspension back in the car bare bones (no washers just yet).
Now what you need to do is use a jack and jack up the hub to see how low you can go before you A: start rubbing or B: parts start colliding in unsafe ways (for example the upper control arm in the front hitting the top of the strut tower). Just jack up the hub until you are as low as you can go, and then take a pair of measuring calipers to measure the length of the inner shock rod in between the top hat and the bottom half of the strut (the part where you will put your washers). Once you have measured this gap, then just measure how many washers will fill that gap, then out the washers on the strut. Then you put it all back in the car.
It's as simple as that, hopefully my explaining helps you out. I did this on my coilovers and actually figured out a way to run springs and washers without have to take apart the whole coilover every time I need to switch from washers to normal springs. Lmk if you need anymore help.
@@alexc.8424 Did this blow your shocks? I have some stiff springs on my stock shocks and they blew within a couple of weeks. Now whenever I hit a bump I go flying upwards.
@@hadoob It shouldn't no. I did the same thing with my shocks, I ran 15k and 20k springs and it destroyed my shocks. This is because the shocks are not built/valved for stronger springs, therefore the springs cause the shocks to expand faster and stronger, which the valves are not made to handle.
Now in regards to stock shocks on washers, I don't think you will have an issue because you are not causing the shocks to deal with stronger springs, they are just staying compressed the whole time. Don't take my words as fact, because I've only ever run washers on blown shocks, but if I had to give an answer I don't think it would be a problem.
Would the washers be the same for all coils ?
Yea, plz never do it like this..get actual washers not a steel pipe
*how big is the hole in the pipe im doing this on my bcs
The "bolt" is actually a nut. This video should be titled how to completely ruin a very nice set of coilovers
Haha you used to follow me back in the day
Just buy swift springs bro that shit is gonna crush😭😭😭
Song ?
The funny thing is you didn’t need to do this, if you would’ve set preload you could’ve lowered the coilovers probably another .75 to a inch but you obviously don’t know what you’re doing
The whole point of this was to make the car stiff. I never went any lower than the height I was already at
preload wont change spring rate, youll still get tons of rebound and hit shit
No springs
Nice parking pole
That piece of conduit will definitely end up snapping lmfaoooo use real washers
Stop, just stop modding now. This is just stupid....
Why are you here if you're not about the static life?
I love being static low, I just do it safely...
@@darrenchesterton6410 this is a safe way of running static
@@Halsafe no, no its not. Do you not understand how jounce and rebound works???
@@darrenchesterton6410 no I do, but this is safer than all the other ways people do things like cutting springs. And yes, this is safe.
Wow mbn
Omg a FAMOUS BOI
