How To Adjust Coilovers Properly

Today I show you how I adjust the ride height on my 07 WRX that has BC BR Coilovers installed. Occasionally, I would get some rub on hard cornering, and I would hit my front lip on just about everything, so I figured it was time to raise the car up a tad. This is how I do it at home in my garage. I hope this helped! Feel free to comment if you have any questions!

    "Look at that wheel gap, that just makes me sick"🤣 same here man, same here.
  • @yetticuda
    Very helpful. Just put coil over on this last week and with the wider wheel setup I run now I'm rubbing hardcore. Gonna raise mine in the morning. Thanks.
  • @1godaboveALL
    Quarter Inch is really Yes, ALL it needed! Thank you for sharing how to do it! GREATLY APPRECIATED!
  • Just got a set of these BC coilovers installed in my 83 Civic. Well worth it and now I know how to raise it up to stock height, it looks great and handles well sitting low but I need it just a little bit more up. To me it just says that the product is good and easy to install and adjust.
  • @scottftPerth
    I’ve been trying to find the simplest instructional video like this for months. Thank you so much for uploading your video, and for keeping the video clear of obstructions so we can see what is actually being adjusted. Time to raise my 2010 Focus XR5 up by about a half inch….currently way too low for every day driving. Cheers from down under
  • @travdripdrip382
    Thank you for keeping this easy and straight to the point. Not 20 minutes of how to take the wheel off. This is extremely helpful. So much so that I'm watching it again 6 months later before I readjust
  • @MrA42000
    Thanks for the detailed explanation. I just bought a car with coilovers already installed and I realized it's a little too low for being a dd. I was even thinking about paying to have someone adjust them for me, but it looks way easier than I thought. Thanks for the video!
  • @VlogCity
    Helped so much! Thanks for the full walkthrough
  • @chandlerlaruex
    I have been doing it wrong for years by adjusting the top two collars only and have merked my coilovers over the last two years riding super low on pretty much nothing but blown shocks. Somebody told me I was doing it wrong and so I looked into it and I just wanted to thank you
  • @MikaFaye.
    Good man, just installed mine and it's been awhile since I've done so. Forgot how everything works and this video was simple and straight to the point.
  • @jimandersen4091
    Thank you sir. I just bought a miata that was too low. Had the same brand Coilovers, so your instructions made it easy for a novice like me to raise it. Except... you have "clockwise" and "counter-clockwise" mixed up in your comments. And... if you don't loosen the lowest collar, it is super easy to see/measure how much you have raised it.
  • @speedygee6396
    This was the first video I actually understood...great
  • @michaelochoa56
    Bro. THANK YOU so much. This is the exact video I was looking for. I bought a used set of coil lovers years ago and just put em in my car as they were. Later I went back to stock and nooooow I got a brand new set of coil overs and I been watching lots of vids on ride adjusting till I found yours.
  • @181suydam
    I am new to coil-overs with the car I just purchased. Thanks for the show and tell with a clear and concise explanation!
  • @jackbrown3270
    oh man thank you so much for this. i need to lower my front a tad and i was way too scared to even attempt this but now i feel confident because of this video
  • @GrnArrow092
    I'm thinking of a set of coilovers for my 2014 Chevy Cruze LT. I wanted a set of 17" aftermarket wheels (tentatively the ESR SR11 or the Enkei RPF1) and a set of these will help the wheels fill out the wheel wells, which is the look I'm after. It's great having a straight forward explanation on how to adjust coilovers and It's good to know how easy they are to install and adjust. It may be late in the year to gear my car up for the driving season, but I'm looking forward to next year when I can install the mods I want on my car.
  • @veeno5235
    Outstanding video. Definitely have a better understanding about the adjustments. I am about to put them on my 1970 Camaro Z28 and needed a little more information. Thx..
