Coilover Installation Made Easy! (Step by Step)

- Scroll down to order coils for your car! // One of the best things you can do for your car is to replace the entire suspension to improve the handling and looks. 90% of cars come stock with a a strut and spring - when I bought this car it had eibach lowering springs with stock suspension. It rode OK.. but nothing great. After driving with these for a couple days it added a much more plush, predictable ride and I really dig it. Definately worth the money. I’ve got a video drifting the car soon and these coilovers felt especially good. They’re worth the money! - Dont forget about the voodoo toe arms too :)

Dude you have no idea how much this video helped me. Those adjustable control arms are coming IN CLUTCH for my g35
Can you actually feel it ??
@@jesusdiaz.4951 Yes because it makes it so you can have a perfect alignment again. Without the adjustable arms youll be off and wearing the tires unevenly ect
@@FahBreezyy I try to explain this to people and they nah its a waste of money but it works though. I get a perfect alignment everytime now. Im not slammed but definitely lowered and it helps. Same with adjustable ball joints.
this is awesome. Also recommend you go get an alignment. Should always get an alignment after coilovers or any suspension work
I've heard people say going after X amount of miles... what do you recommend?
@@decapasane well i always heard to go every 6 months. But I usually go when I feel that a car leans/turns to one side by itself. I always get and recommend to get the alignment and tire balance and rotation
@@DeltaRc-zc9ls seriously a rotation you definitely don’t drive a Z I can say that haha
Your straight to the point so good
Fuck yes dude! This is probably the best coil install video because you explained how to set your ride height and didn’t just show the installation. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Showed every proper step in detail 👌 much better than the 20+ other videos I've watched
Instant sub, this was the first video of yours I watched but I saw youve got guides for EVERYTHING. Youre the best man :)
Thank you very much for the installation guide. Apart from one pesky 12 mm nut that I rounded, it all went so well.
Thank you so much I’ve had my coil overs ready to go on my 2003 A4 for over a month
Quite possibly the best step by step guide on yt. Thanks!
I love that you didn't waste any time with intros or shoutouts, you got straight to the point. My coilovers are coming in two days from now, this will be my instruction vid for sure! Thanks for making a solid vid 💯
Unless those coilovers have progressive springs, you do adjust height by compressing the spring. Not the base adjust. Set your base height so that full compression doesn't let the wheel hit the guard, then adjust height by compressing the spring. The spring rate doesn't change just by being compressed, it's linear 👍🏻
I was wondering about that because I've never seen anyone remove the coilover to lower the car?
@@youtubejunkie8053 you can still set base height with them in the car because they pivot freely at the top, so you can just spin the whole unit and screw it down into the base that way 👍🏻
Did the same thing on my Z a few weeks ago but I got BC Type BR coils with the voodoo toe arms instead of KSports, I'd suggest you go to harbor freight and get a bottle jack press machine and change out all the bushings for your suspension when you get the chance. That's what I plan on doing next, new coilovers make a big difference but they feel even better with brand new bushings all around.
So easy and straight to the point. Good job and great video!
Saving this whole playlist bcz i will buy me a 350 in the future
1:13 like that you wrote Loud on the dust over the exhaust
Saving this for when I get my 370z and get coilovers.
Ksport coilovers are great! Ive been running them on my driftcar for years
Great video man!!
Very very helpful Dude the best I've seen today on the adjustments lol awesome 😎😎😎😎
The best video, I have a g35
You just made my like twice as easy bro thank you so much I want a 350z myself and this helps alot
So glad I saw this before I starting this on my G35 ! Clean video
Best tutorial on how to do this on CZcams great job guys
i have made an absolutely shitty job installing these and i am ashamed, i need to redo them otherwise i will probably destroy them.
thanks for the vid man
awesome video man! keep up the good work!
if im not wrong, shouldnt those strut bolts be a certain grade? around grade 8?
Great video dude!!! I I have some major adjusting to do on my 2008 350z coil overs. It seems the springs were compressed to lower it so it rides hard, especially in the back. The link you put in on the back when you took out the rear spring bucket, which one did you use. It wasn’t done on mine prior to me getting it. Also whenever you need to get a bolt man go to tractor supply and get a grade 8. Harbor Freight bolts are not as good of quality. Thanks for the video brother man you do a great job and I look forward to your help in the future, best to you man.
Is that preload technique correct?
Because a lot of other videos say to get it hand tight, then move it up 4-5mm
Great vid, super clean car! Check out upgrading your tails to the Oem leds, they look awesome
Ordered coilovers for My Azera limited I'm excited Yo!!!
I was thankful to find your video on the KSports because I just purchased them for my G35. I am not as thrilled with my purchase of the KSports as you were. For the G35 they did not come with proper mounting brackets for the brake line and nothing for the ABS sensor line. For the rear I had to supply the nuts to fasten the bottom bolts. So my experience was disappointing.
Is your g awd?
@@619ceon No, rear wheel.
@@mtn2byk ok. Was asking because I just picked some a few weeks ago and the front coilovers have no fork. Sitting her wondering what Am I bolting this thing to. Mines is awd.
@@619ceon I dont know man that sounds strange. You might look at the other mounts and brackets. If you see other problems I would return them. If you can.
Should I get an alignment right after installing coilovers or when??
Love you vids man
Unless you’ve got aftermarket lower control arms, I’m confused. On the car I’m working on, the sway bar end link is threaded into the lower control arm
Same, so tell me how you figured it out please
Very good tips..thanks brother
Love ur vid bro🤘
Turned out good
Not sure if I would trust bolts from Harbor Freight. But you do you.
Needed this info... good stuff
How have these held up after a year based on your driving style?
I see you ditched the duck tail lol
Solid video.. Subscribed
Your a beast
The first control arm bolt closest to the wheel shouldn't have been removed without a jack underneath, you're lucky the spring didn't shoot out.
Lmao yeah
do you need the aftermarket control arm with adjustables?
Helped me so much thanks bro
My problem is when I try to take out the bolts from the upper control arm the spring is in the way and I can’t take them out
Any update? how are they doing it? Planning to get some Ksport coilovers for my 17 Maxima right now I'm rolling with Eibach lowering spring but looking to upgrade to get a much comfortable ride, no track this is my daily.
This video helped me out I was looking at bc's but now I'm now I'm buying ksports, but also what is the song liked it and the video as a whole
Adamlarda ki coilovera bak bizde ancak yok basaran amartisor yok sakirstain den yaptirak
I hope for anyone watching, do NOT remove the spring buckets like these guys. You can pull the oem springs out without undoing both bolts. It's very simple. Removing the entire bucket will fuck up your alignment.
They replaced the entire bucket bro, what are you talking about lol
I have so much bounce within the cabin.. I'm running 25 front and 20 in rear.. should I try going 18 on my damping as well? think that'll eliminate that bounce? im pretty low as well, idk if that'll make much of a difference. (fyi this is my first set up for coils.)
Thats the coils i put on my nd miata
I know I’m probably Im not gonna get a comment back but did you have a problem with the sway bar endlinks because I’m in the process of putting the fronts on but the lower control arm won’t droop down so I have to pull it down i and messed up the end link so at this point I’m stuck and I don’t know how to go about it
Is anyone else having problem with bolt for front control arm that 14mm the spring prevent rachet from gettin comepley on theit
I am very lover of that model Nissan 350z I see and see auctions for the US and I would really like to buy one of those but I don't know how, I'm from Bolivia and because I would like to know if you could help me with that.
How'd u make the coil drop down b4 taking off the 2 top bolts?
I hav a question, why did u put new toe arms for?
Do u need a strut mount with coilovers?
You should of done air bags the air suspension
You didnt need to get new lower control arms? Wont that mess your allignment up?
Can you leave the tool inside the coilover? Like does leaving it there affect anything?
3:22 I'm stuck on that. its literally stuck. geez
Will that exact toe arm fit on a 2007 G35s?
Do you have any issues with ground clearance
Nice video, I’ll probably use it when messing with my suspension lmao
Do I need to torque anything down?
my ace sucks they said they didnt have it kept telling me it a special thread
Are these coilovers good for daily . I run some bc coilovers and they are trash it’s so stiff to daily drive ! I need help
Should have done more research before buying. If you want stiff AND daily driveable, you need to shell out thousands on Ohlins or KW v3's. Cheap coilovers will achieve the stiffness part, but you'll be bouncing and wobbling all over the place on public roads. Research research research.
A garage quoted me 900 to install these.
Toe arms fix the camber? Or no?
What’s the torque specs you used?
you spent a ton on upgrades, but cheaped out on the duckbill lol.
Who gives a shit
Would I be able to put these coilovers on my 02 bmw 540i?????
Hey man. I got some coilovers like yours. But the rear ones didn't come with the control arms to replace the stock ones. Should I buy or I can keep the stock ones without springs????
You can rock the stock ones without springs!!
Do you have to buy the voodoo arms to replace the rear spring bucket? or can you run it without
You can run it with the stock spring bucket!
Cameron Alford laughs in dark corner of room
@@CameronAlford so you wouldn't have to bolt that spring bucket back on correct? or you would but without the spring? and why did you decide to buy the voodoo arms knowing you can run it without it?... sorry for all the questions aha, just want to learn.
@@carlosv9125 the arms give you more range of adjustability, lighter weight, and easier to reach in and adjust your coils.
What's the instrument in the background called
Do I have to swap that piece out on the rear like you did with the voodoo?
Jesse R it’s not necessary to do so when installing Coilovers on a z but it’s recommended because once lowered it’ll give more adjustability for alignment
Did you need a low profile jack for this?
Any suggestions on how I can remove a rusted bolt for the back Strut top bolts. Tried bb blaster but no luck.
Heat it up with a torch
Hi, how did you fit the length of coilovers in the back? Was the same length as the front ones?
You can adjust it as he said near the beginning of the video. You can make it shorter or longer
does the voodo arms fit ojn a 7th gen maxima ?
I have truharts coils but do i need to replace the spring cup in the rear with rear camber arms?
Timothy L No you can use the original spring cup just make sure you take the spring out out of the cup!
Anyone know where to get bolt torque specs?😅
What is the max lowering inches
Info on wheel setup specs please
Description of wheel reveal video
Is there a reason you have your PCV venting directly to the atmosphere and not a catch can?
It was venting to atmosphere when I got it from the previous owner but I have installed a catch can since this video.
@@CameronAlford Thanks for the responce 👍 just put one on my Z. Enjoying the content man.
Pls don’t use rep kits🙁 they are janky
You’re janky
hahah
Cameron Alford well I didn’t think that would be the comment that got noticed XD
Cameron Alford ik its a lil much for a wing but, look into a Mercury Z ducktail barely any Z’s ive seen have this kit, everyone rocks the hype beast rb kits🤷🏾♂️
I got a question , I'm going to install coilovers on my car , do I need to rolled the fenders ?
Not necessarily, you may depending on the offset of your wheels and how much you are dropping it
@@PackOut23 my back wheels are 285/30/20 they look like they going to rub , I can fit 2 finger gap . I want to lower to 1 finger gap . But my fenders are not rolled
You back rotor is in wrong position.
Song?
greattt
bro did you use specific torque upon installing them ?
No, they just use whatever maximum torque the impact driver puts out.
Anti-seize all the coil over threads. U don't wanna buy new ones because everything's seized
Man I need a partner to help me😩😂
Dont lose that 10mm
What year is his 350
His is 03 mines 04
nooooise!
Notification gang
Yert
I’m getting a 370Z is it a good idea for me to put these on my car?
