These videos have always been informative, but the injection of humor has taken them to the next level. Well done.

My goto channel for any and everything MK7 GTI. Much appreciated

Definitely do one on the coilovers you adjust with the body of the coilover. Rev 9, Bc ect.. awesome video as usual

"It's seized" needs to become a song.

I appreciate the plug 😂

Thumbs up for the dirt nasty low.

Great video! Could you do another video on sway bars, and showing a before and after please?

Please keep over editing your videos with cutaways and sound clips haha I love it.

NY driver here. Yes, That same permatex antiseize attracts dirt and grime like crazy. Been using it for over 10 years on coils though, I just clean it and reapply twice a year. T9 I had the opportunity to use but never did lol, using it next time.

Jesus, this was super informative! I am a first time VW owner of a 2019 Jetta SEL and now that I have some money I can spare, I wanted to get new tires/wheels and lower the vehicle since 99% of people recommended that to me. Except, I am not much of a car person and didn't know what to look for or ask for. My previous car was a manual Ford Focus RS that was mistakenly sold to me as a Focus Titanium lol. But man, this simplified things for me, I cant wait to continue my research on some mods I can do myself on this car.

DAP: Hilarious as always and somehow still informative

Good info. One thing I would like to know is if damper adjustments can increase/decrease rubbing once you nail the fitment. Basically, will a soft setting create too much movement?

0:44 - This is why I keep watching these videos 😂😎🤩

Spray plastidip on the threads then remove before adjusting. Best way to protect coilover threads!!

You are my favorite Audi S-4 (2014) Mechanic!!!!!!

Very good presentation !

I watch your videos for the comedy, not just the technical info

Thanks a lot,, great videos.

Electrical tape on the threads. Or wraps. Use to make them for mk4's.

You had me subscribe in less then 60 Seconds. Great Humor.😂

Great video!! Y’all deserve way more subs

I have the same set up, in regards to the dampener setting of 1 to 10 is there a corresponding marker to tell me which number it currently is on?

Nice video. This was very helpful. Could you make a video covering tiptronic automatic Transmission fluid change from a VW Jetta 2003 1.8 turbo.

Is rule of thumb that you have the front and the rear equal heights from rim to fender on all four corners? Assuming you do not want that rake look. many thxs

Paul you are a god to me. ❤

@Deutche Auto Parts You missed something. Can you please talk about the options for those of us with adjustable dampening controlled by the car, and what options are available, with aftermarket coil-overs, to hook into the car's software. E.G.: My Audi will adjust the dampening based on if I'm in Comfort, Auto, or Dynamic mode. If Im looking to add aftermarket coil-overs, to replace the factory struts, how will the car be able to make those dynamic adjustments when I switch modes? Is it even possible at all?

Question: Does the adjustment range take into account the comfort springs, if the coilovets have them? Would those then be removed to set the car to the minimum lowering?

No mention of corner balancing which is the absolute best part of height adjustable suspension...

I have an Audi A6 C7 AVANT 3.0 TDI 204HP and is time to change the Stock ones with some aftermarket coilovers . Can you recommend some close to Stock market brand just to improve a bit the stock ones ? I would like to keep the comfort and won't going so lower just about factory height

Hi!! I have a 2017 Jetta GLI with factory sport suspension and I need to replace the shocks, what would work better Bilstein B6 or B8??

Thanks very interesting and informative.

Excellent tech info. Leave comedy to the funny guys tho

Awesome video Paul! What is the best suspension system for a daily drive VW JETTA GLI MK4 (2004) 2.8L VR6 24v (BDF) six speed. H&R, Bilstein, KW, Koni or KSport, or Eibach? or a mix and match, or something else? I want to lower the car (between 1.5" but no more than 2")

Wich model B14 are they? Im asking because,i can buy B14 here but i dont think they have those comfort setting,so wich model are those b14,if it has a model?

Subbed!! I just love your style. I do however feel you didn't answer the question I have. I have fitted Bilstein coilovers on my car, but I think they need adjusting. The problems are that when driving, I can hear the baubles on the lower branches scraping against the floor of my car. Also, the stereo is repeatedly playing Jingle Bells. To adjust this, do I turn the baubles left or right ??

Great video, i'm literally about to have coilovers fitted on my GTI Clubsport, i am curious though as to say i wanted to change my alloys over (both being 19") but the alloy width was different, would you say i need to be adjusting anything on the coilovers or should that not have any affect?

4:42 - That tree is *relentless*.

Hey, what about coilovers on mk7s with DCC? What's the cancelling hardware thats needed?

900 IQ LOL so hilarous! Great video and thanks for the tips!

Here's a question... I have a (Yamaha) golf cart, and drive it around my retirement community streets (will not be taking it on the golf course). This model of golf cart is very light, and the ride feels EVERY slight bump in the road to the extent that my teeth rattle (and yes, they are all my own teeth so far). The stock shocks have 'Coil Overs'. I think I can change the 'coil over springs' on the shocks to either softer or stiffer spring rate. Do I go with a 'softer' or more 'heavy duty' spring rat to achieve a smoother/softer ride? Thank you.

I have a 2017 alltrack and I would love to find a suspension solution where I could maintain the factory height and have the ability to lower it if I would like to. Is there a coilover or air suspension solution that could allow me to do that. It seems from what I have seen that whatever adjustable setup I get it’s highest setting will still be lower than sock.

The problem that I'm having is the very top of the coilover they have an allen wrench and a nut around it they're totally at different heights and not sure how it got like that but I'm not sure how to fix it either every video that I've watched his not even mentioned it

I thought it's another bad joke from a car stuff review. I actually laughed with that christmas tree...

How do the Bilstein coilovers compare to the stock Golf R suspension?

I have just installed Bilstien B14 installed on Mk6. The front coils seem to pop when turning. It’s almost like the springs bind and then release while turning in a parking lot. I installed new top mounts and bearings. Ever heard of this? Fix?

What's the best replacement coil over set up for the '05 Touareg V8? Cheers.

You gotta go low enough to scrape the oil pan heavily on the ground.

What Coilover and/or Springs brand and version do you recommend for a VW Jetta 2004 GLI (MK4) VR6 2.8L 24V 6speed?

What do you do to lift your VW’s instead of lowering them?

lol the christmas tree got me

What is the perfect workable low height for a MK7 Gti?

how do i adjust the rebound setting ?

What‘s the most popular coilover in the states? Or which damper combination do you use? Greetings from Germany ✌️

Great video . Appreciate the knowledge! I have AirLift and feel like its putting more stress on my passenger axle. Would constant changing of ride height effect this? hoping someone can enlighten me !

Do more videos like this lol But don’t forget the 🌲 🤣

How do I break them loose! Ape no work

Thumbs up for the humor

Could you cover adjusting preload on the rear? I'm still struggling to grasp how the preload gets adjusted on the rear system. I understand the process, but conceptually I don't understand how the preload doesn't go away once the car is on the ground. In other words, if the shock in the rear is responsible for creating the preload when adjusted against the spring (say 5mm or 10mm shorter than 0 slack on the spring, once the car settles, that same shock can theoretically be pulled off the car with no impact on the spring itself... so, therefore, the preload is gone. This has fried my circuits for years and every time I go back to change my ride height in the rear, I can successfully do it but I don't understand why it works that way.

Great video! :D

i want for an opel grandland x ..! where can i buy? Thx

So every time you wash your car spray WD40 on the threads?

I got a 2018 s4 and if you were close to my location you would be the only mechanic I would trust to work on my vehicle. iWorks love to do some upgrades But you’re to farrr. Good job on your work and explaining your work in much detail.

you should do a video on comparing the balancing of the car before and after coil overs using scales. include some weight changes and driving effects you can achieve with really adjusting coil overs. i run air bags on my daily because im to lazy to get out and adjust coil overs, that would be several times a day haha.

just wondering how do you adjust the headlight after you have lowered the car, when you have headlights that adjust them selfs?

great video - liked & subscribed :)

hi, what adjustment can i do to my bc v1 coilovers to stop my rear tyres rubbing on the fender liners. preload, harder dampening or stiffer springs?

U r amazing seriously

missed spring rate choices

Hey Paul do ShopDap ship any product to another countries , my country is Uzbekistan (Central Azia) i wanted to buy project alltrack t-shirt and shopdap logo but don't know is that possible , Would ShopDap send that to other countries ?

The ride height on that alltrack is spot on. Anything lower than that and it start to looks like a clown car.

‘Congratulations’

Wait a second. Is this a Bilstein B16? Did you get the PU Hose to slide over the springs without begging for them? I have a b16 in my MKV R32 and I had to write a ton of emails to Bilstein until they gave me an email address of Eibach where I got the Hose. Weird.

Spring load

video just got a like on the reoccurring tree joke alone

More Jounce to the Ounce!!!!

You didn't go into preload

Don't use Bilstein. They'll break.

Hahaha awesome vids man!

This didn't need to be as funny as it is, but I ain't mad

👏

lubricating the rear is important. LMAO

hahhahawha the christmas tree

I need to live the dirt nasty lyfe

Watching these videos over the past couple months has forced me to buy a GTI. Thanks for nothing DAP!

You missed how to install them

I’m static

there has to be said that every time you adjust the coilovers you should do an alignment after

Yeah....it will be springs for me dog

haha this video is so funny

Coilovers. These are like flared jeans aren't they?

If you're gonna notch it. Box it. This end this panda public service announcement

Missed a good joke when you were talking about damaged axels 😆😆

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY

That’s a damper not a shock absorber, the spring absorbs shock, take them out and go for a drive you’ll find no shock is absorbed,

LOL

ok got to almost a minute in and the guy doesn't know the difference between a strut and a shock... then he says ... i don't think it matters... it kind of does matter... gees man you shouldn't be teaching people shit you don't know yourself... worst thing was he showed part of a strut and told you it was a shock.... its not. wow
