Are you thinking about how to lower your car? Or maybe just want to replace your springs or shocks? Do you go with coilovers? Lowering springs? Air ride? What about just cut springs? Let's talk about it!

This week, the Miata gets a ride height adjustment and a major handling upgrade with a set of coilovers! We replace the soft, squishy, comfy stock suspension with some tight and tidy coilovers geared for grip and handling. Next to tires, this is one of the most value-added DIY car mods out there in terms of handling improvements, especially if your stock suspension is as spongy as our Miata’s was! The car also benefits from a lowered ride height which helps handling and looks so, so good. We’ll show ya how coilovers work, how to choose a set for yourself, and how to install them.

We have a new channel!

    Dude Donut struck gold with this dude and this series. So fun to watch.

    Zach: has thorough expertise in modifying cars Also Zach: doesn't chock tire, engage parking brake, or park in gear before lifting vehicle on sloped driveway
  • @STAVROSj
    Dude this is hands down the best series ever since this guy actually explains WHAT each component does scientifically rather than just jumping out and saying "ye boiz we doing coilovers" and then reviewing it by saying "yeuh feels so much better way less body roll". AND sometimes things don't go as planned, which is my favourite part since that's usually how it goes in real life. major appreciation for this series.
  • "how to lower your car the right way" almost gets run over letting the car down

    “Let’s go for a drive boys and girls.” Full send Immediately to a speed bump
  • @justryan5697
    This guy has a great flow and naturalness to talking and explains things very well. I was just thinking about coilovers.
  • @vilious
    He's running Skunk2 Pro-ST coils for all my curious miata boys out there
  • This series is making me seriously realize how under appreciated Zach was.
  • @owenellis8557
    "Whatever the hell the kids are hitting on the streets these days" Proceeds to smoke a speedbump
  • @retiredatforty
    This guy is the full package. Donut scored with him. Personable, knows his stuff, solid explanations. And kudos to the writers and editors who made him shine.
  • @VlogCity
    16:18 Driveway test was good. Time to Yeet this speedbump now
  • @johnbarron4843
    This guy explains things so well along with being entertaining. Next up: How to wash your hands
  • Love how they're actually using torque specs. Don't see many "tutorials" that mention torque specs even when it's very important so as to avoid stripped threads
  • @ther3aper561
    Donut gets a lot of credit for the quality of presenters, writers and overall production... but MAN whoever is filming this deserves a LOT of credit. The camera work is very clean
  • @samsaasen4922
    “Whatever the hell the kids are hitting on the streets these days” Mostly curbs😞

    "encase you haven't talked to your neighbors in a while... do this and trust me... you'll talk to em." xD
  • I started watching Donut like 3 years ago when James was only doing Up To Speed videos and wow I’m so impressed at the progress they have made. All these different series are fun and I love the new people too!
