  • Thank you. I was the guy getting too deep down the rabbit hole. Saving to buy my first set of coilovers and you all have been a huge help.
  • @BPoweredLove
    I love the typed correction of him saying "dampening" (to wet, moisten, make damp) to the correct *damping. This is a pet peeve of mine. Thank you.
  • @donmafia5522
    this was the most simple, uncomplicated go to explanation of coilovers and how they work that I've ever come across. Thanks......
  • I appreciate this video. I got an 02 Civic SI that was lowered. It rode terrible. I watched your video and figured out how to adjust the dampening. It was all the way stiff when I started adjusting. So much better ride quality now.
  • @Rouchextreme
    Could you make a video adjusting the rear coilovers? I have some doubts the proper way to adjust it
  • You guys have been a major help on my coilovers journey for my f32, from what they are and what they do, to how to adjust, and what are the applications. Thanks guys #educated
  • Wow, bought some wheels from you guys and I just got tires and I’m needing to adjust my coils so that they’ll fit! Going from 14s to your alls 15 inch mst mt10s on my 98 civic sedan that’s lowered 2 inches. Was surprised to see you all have a video for this to help me as well! Thanks for the wheels and the help
  • @GlorifiedSASS27
    Thank you for the easy to follow explanation. This made it seem a lot less complicated.
  • @126aaron
    Can you guys cover the Rev9 hyperstreet 2’s?
  • @jinmannn
    Just bought my first set of coilovers for my 2018 WRX, bought the FA 500 series so I'm really hyped to install them! Thanks for the video!
  • @ced-one374
    Accurate precise and simple description and instructions!! Well done thank you
  • That damper adjustment wad unbelievably easy,, can't believe it works that effectively and so well..
  • @ezpz4659
    Probably the best 6 minute video ive ever seen
  • Awesome!! I'm raising my bmw 335xi this evening that has this exact suspension. Previous owner has it a bit to low for my liking as a daily driver. So I can keep everything the same and just raise the car an inch all around and maybe adjust the camber and be done.
  • Thankyou so much for this information! I was winding my springy boys up thinking it will stiffen the spring itself and I was wrong! Always great to have an awesome channel and helpful information. Thankyou again 😊
  • @chriscorin5780
    Immensely informative and well constructed video. Not alot of new information for me personally but it was a huge help to hear it all coming from an expert. I actually decided against TEINs due to the fact that the ebay seller was a pain in the ass, and I am so glad I did now. Body-adjusted ride height makes so much more sense!
  • @liamholton100
    Thank you for a no nonsense video. Finally I feel like I understand. A big help!👍
  • @gryphon123456
    Much better video than the last one on suspension mistakes. Lol. Thank you.
  • @TheGameProdigy247
    Speaking from experience since I just adjusted my fortune autos while they were installed on the car. While adjusting the ride height without moving the preload. While adjusting ride height without messing with the preload make sure the spring doesn’t twist while moving the top collar for adjusting for ride height. Ensure the strut is the only thing that is moving up or down. I learned this the hard way. Something as simple as adjusting the ride height, where I thought was a simple 1-2 hour job ended up turning to a 4-5 hour job because I was moving the preload. From my understanding this only applies to the fortune autos because it only has 2 collar’s compared to 3 with most other coilovers
