Even some in depth fab stuff would be killer. We all know Johan and the team can build whatever is needed. Being shown how to fix a core support and rear section would be awesome.

yea except preload isnt a thing unless youre offroading another half assed video where lz rakes in cash for being average

@@LFshlevin and that's exactly the way we like him, hope he doesnt change :)

My favorite part is the car he’s doing it on is the exact car I own!

Ohlins?

Ohlins, KWs, or yellow speeds? 🤔

@@kevo05s I came here to say this! I wouldn’t spend my money on anything less than Öhlins for a dual purpose car.

@@pvogel I legit didn't know ohlins made suspension for cars, too

Bsssss MaxPeeding rods only

Make sure you tuck your harness. Or clearance it. Or whatever it’s called

@@ratchetss Not really, because bc's ride height are adjusted via a bottom mount, the travel of the actual damper is not affected, so in theory the compression would be the same. Here is the ride height adjustment info from the BR series on bc's website: "Ride height adjustment Ride height is determined by the position of the coilover bottom mount. The mount can be wound up and down the damper body to give a full range of adjustment. Because ride height is determined by an adjustable bottom mount rather than spring platform you retain full damper travel regardless of the ride height run."

Its because it's one of the only cars he knows better than anyone in the shop. Haha

What trim level was that, just picked one up expecting the rear heated seats and it didn’t have it.

@@static_ls4004 hi, my dads was a grey 1994, it did not have the massage seats just electric and heated

You can get the forks around the boot/ball and not rip no? however : When upgrading coil overs why not replace ball joints anyway? but Adams trick was really satisfying

@@iJacker it’s possible to not rip them, but extremely difficult and annoying. you could go through and upgrade/replace all the ball joints while you’re down there if you want. It’s just a matter of time and money

Yes, a pickle fork! Try rapping the end of the pickle fork with duct tape……it takes away the sharp edge………thus saving the grease boot!

Just use a hammer bois be a man !

Go to o’reillys and pick up a proper ball joint separator, it has a fork side and a bolt that screws into the bottom of the ball joint and pushes it out of the lca. 🤙

Like TOO perfect

did you manual swap it or did you buy it swapped?

@@simonfife8719 both technically, when I bought it it had a Ka trans and the work was shoddy. So I redid it all and swapped in the cd009

LMAO yeaaaah, i almost did that. until my window wouldnt go up right before it started raining. Thank you past me.

Me too. Neither window works properly but at least it looks cooler

@@ratchetss agreed but he knows this. I showed him multiple times on the s15. As well as multiple people at the shop while there. Now if they listened to me or not is a different story lol. Most of them didn’t like me lol. Also “pre load” is not a thing with linear springs… Right height is controlled by spring position. Bump/droop ratio is controlled by the shock body mount and bump stop is controlled by using different length bump stops on the shock shafts. Setting up coil overs properly is actually a lengthy process especially when corner balancing a car.

@@hoonperformance5152 Are there any in-depth, proper tutorials you could refer us to? I skimmed through an article detailing the process but a visual aid would help for sure.

@@TakeNoShift There are some decent videos out there but lots with mixed information or that leave particular steps out. Take a look at Feal suspension. They have a few articles that explain some key things. Then search things like “how to set bumps stops on coilovers” “how to balance a adjustable shock” or how to set proper droop with a coilover or shock. Then look at how to balance a car on scales with coilovers. All of these things should give you a general idea

@@hoonperformance5152 thanks!

Omg 1st Gen so cool

This is a great trick to use!!

@suzan @Rihana, A Different kind of suspension is needed for you. Please politely, piss off.

@@sexygirls9151 y'all make me fell like Will Robinson talking to robots.

This a quick and dirty way of doing it. Not the “correct” way. This will get you by but doesn’t scratch the surface of all coil overs can offer.

Denofa has some really great indept drifting tech videos, could check those out aswell

@@hoonperformance5152 100% agree, there's alot more to some coilover installs than this video shows. For example we installed coilovers on an e30 an it required cutting and welding wasn't just a bolt in process

you’ll love them!

It’ll be a breeze bro just pay close attention when it comes to adjusting.

Hell ya it's always a 6 hours, 2 hour job

Hour*

A lesson every car guy girlfriend has learned too lol

Yep. No matter how “bolt on” the part is. Shit always happens.

Never thought of this good idea

That's what I always do. I'm surprised they didn't do it, I thought everyone knew that trick.

ive been working on cars on and off for a couple years now and never thought of this great idea

I gave this a thumbs down and all the real mechanics will know why 👍

The goat? Such a newb.

@@stuwest5862 Newb? Such a noob…

That shit was hilarious 😂

Literally same car as an ls400.

i feel like he just got it or he's had it a really long time... or its somebody else's

it’s mike’s

@@teronechetty6894 that's rad!

@@ratchetss man I'm glad someone knows what they are talking about! Thank you for teaching people, I have pretty much given up teaching this because of videos like this.

How are they? Did you get extreme lows or the regular?

@@tappinn I just got the regular ones and they have been great, I have done a few track days and a heap of street driving and they can be tuned to suit both. The front can be dropped until it's too low to drive almost and the rear at its lowest is perfect for how I use it, sits good without scrubbing. I run an 18x9.5 +22 wheel so any lower and scrubbing would be a problem. I can recommend them for sure.
