Momma I made it 🙌🏾 in all seriousness, I’m happy you’re on our suspension finally and the results speak for themselves!

Good work on explaining the complexities of proper suspension setup. I’d say 80% of slammed car owners don’t understand this and another 10% of owners don’t do this.

Finally a channel that shows the correct way to set up coilovers 👏

Good job going through this all! Definitely one of the clearest videos for teaching how to setup 2 piece coilovers with goodninfor to take to one piece coilovers. Will be sharing as a demonstration of how to setup suspension.

Thanks for being that car channel that best describes my interests within the car community. You guys are phenomenal. It’s been a trip, I’ve been watching since the escort and the progress speaks for itself…

This channel has come a long way from working on your turbo escort. Great to see the progress.

Keep these type of track technical video coming 👍 ❤️

really wish you guys would do a in -depth series on this technical stuff that no one on yt talks about. you know,, in your usual way and not in front of a chalk board. it would be very educational; for those whom dont have the connections for this type of reliable info locally.

This couldn’t have came at at better time! I just literally installed 2 way adjustable Coilovers on my c5 vette & I was wondering how to properly setup them up. Awesome job explaining everything.

Thank you for this. Interesting. Hope this gets a follow-up on the track with some explanation about what you notice and how you adjust.

One of the very few youtube channels that goes over the correct way to setup coilovers! Great video as always!

Finally someone made this video. So many people dont know and dont really show how to set it up out of the box.

I absolutely love it when you guys do the work on your vehicles yourself! Loved the video!

Fortune auto is great, and Devin is a huge help for dialing in my setup!

I love this civic. Excited to see where it goes once you decide to go higher class again!

Nice seeing the science behind suspension travel. If done right, double wishbone’s ability to toe out is going to create some magic.

Your project civic car is getting faster as well as becoming prettier than ever before!

I can never focus on your topic when you're working on the Civic because I'm too busy admiring that Civic. That generation Civic hatchback has such a timeless design in my opinion.

Without a doubt, this is the best coilover setup video in the history of KZfaq. I'll see you in Club TR next year! 🍺

Think I need to watch this again because it’s so good and redo my simple 1 way coilovers. Amazing video

Can’t wait to see the changes with the new suspension

Finally a proper guide for coilover install!

Guess who just joined a Motorsport Engineering course. This is great help.

Finally! Suspension made by an actual suspension company.

Great explanation, thanks Ben. Makes me wonder how much better can suspension tech get? Interesting stuff for sure.

MY FA500s show up this wed! I'm really excited.

A nice glaze over it but still informative to those who don't know. Can't wait to see the ZX2 get a set

Proper video. Few points to add; Tbf it doesn’t make whole lot of sense to first set the spring perch heights(rideheight) b4 setting the full compr setting since you’re gonna adjust it anyway, this way, you can save some time by installing coilover directly, without a spring. And every tire is different from another, for example 195/50/15 ar-1 vs 195/50/15 R888, there is a 7/8mm height difference in the tire. (Even some width) This means that the tire will hit the chassis in full compression.. And the bumpstop will compress more than what you’re able to do with the cars weight & lifting the wishbone & coilover to check bumpstop travel. For example at foxhole in nurburgring, there can easily be 2G’s. It’s a good measure to factor in a 5mm extra space between tire & chassis if you really dont want to rub in ANY situation.

These videos make my saturday mornings

This will be helpful when I go to get my new dedicated track setup

Great resources. Huge fan of what you guys do. Much love!

👏👏👏👏👏 HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND EVERYONE

Excited when mine arrives

Love the information, thank you for the time and effort

Great episode! Been waiting for this one for a while.

great explanation on everything! broke it down nicely! really enjoyed this one

Thanks for the content guys,,,love from kenya 🇰🇪

God damn. My man is running the dreadnought. Tell me your suspension is more expensive then your car without telling me.

Awesome video...... for sure i have to see it more times as i custom fit some coils to my car Thanks Ben

Bro love your car. Bought a shirt the other day. Trying to set my car up for road racing.

I learned something today sweet!

At 9:30 , are you also changing the preload of the spring?

Hey thanks for all the valuable information!

nice that you show the alignment for 8 seconds

droop is joy!

I think the most important part is the camber and toe adjustment, I saw you doing it but not explained, off corse that can be dial in the track with a infrared thermometer.

Now you know. And knowing is half the battle!

What's sitting in your lap while you're in the driver's seat, showing the corner balance on the scale display? Ballast of some sort? I initially thought it might be your helmet/race suit, but it looks like it's attached to the steering wheel, so I'm not sure what I'm looking at! Great video, as always. Love that you're giving us this level of technical detail, it's great to see how much thought goes into making a fast car that tenth faster.

Here we go again. Little Ben doing a commercial and wrapping it as ‘content’.

Yay my morning poop held out 😂 best shit to wake up to.

Great info and great video 👍

*Virginia in the house!*

At 5:00......really like the LoFi background music.

Now that's some great sponsored content

Damn so I already missed you in Jersey

good to see you gave up on those ktuned coilovers. check corner balance when turning into a corner dependant on caster

It was very very very interesting !

Great information.

million dollar question, don you regret going full race car? was it more fun while it was simple? curious moreso than anything. great video as always

Following this series to help build my teams Passat endurance race car. Please help

It’s funny because isn’t fortune one of the coilover companies that say to adjust ride height with the lower collar and cup and not with preload? I do agree making sure your tire and arms don’t hit sure makes a lot of sense but I think fortune is one of the companies who say don’t adjust preload for ride height.

explain the dialing in process :) That's gonna be interesting

Let's Time Attack CiviC!!!!!!!!

6:53 Hi tall Ben...working on next week's video are we?

this video was good

Great info!

I like fortune auto coils but I also like bc

Uhhh....Professor Ben, starting at 4:21....willl this material be on the next test?!?

Take a shot every time he says “a little bit” lol

Why do you want to lower the shock body and utilise the bumpstop (have the bumpstop compressed) inlieu spring compression? Most coilovers are height adjustable at the lower collar and using the strut lower cup. I just wanted to know why the need to utilise the bumpstop and not the springs to prevent bottoming out?

I can't get over how handsome the fortune auto representative is at the beginning of the video. Like I'm not even gay, bro just has really great teeth.

When they’re free of course you’ll choose the Dreadnaughts. 😂😂😂

I want the most comfortable ride coilovers I can get for my daily driven ‘91 Civic hatch. As for ride height, I’m not looking to be slammed, again this is a daily driver so a little lower than stock is preferred. Currently my Civic has Tein progressive lowering springs with Bilstein struts. All other suspension components are Hardrace with hardened rubber bushings. So which coilovers and brands do you guys suggest for the most in comfort?

Watching Gears and Gasoline is like watching weekly Saturday morning cartoons

Is this just one giant ad for Fortune Auto?

Number 1 item you need for this job, hydraulic lifts HAHAHA cant imagine the pain doing this without powertools and lifts

Serious question here! Ik there are tons of factors when it comes to spring rates but looking for a good rule of thumb for a fwd track car. Do you want neutral spring rates or a stiff bias to front/rear? For context my car is front heavy 60-40,lowered, big rear sway bar, cambered -2,-1.5 with .01 toe out front and rear. Any help is appreciated as theres so much personal biased info but i want facts.

Nee clarification. When setting the ride height for 50% compression and 50% droop do you adjust the spring perch or the shock perch?

You skipped checking the corner balance after attaching the swaybars. That's what adjustable swaybar endlinks are for. A lot of aftermarket bars aren't perfectly symmetrical and will "wedge" the car a little with equal length swaybar endlinks. Obviously this is a manufacturing tolerance thing so it's possible the bars are perfect, just not likely.

How do you know by “feeling” I don’t get that lol. Like if I’ve never felt it before how do I know if it is correct or not

Do you feel the K-swap FRS\BRZ will end up taking over this class? Seems all that chassis needed was a better engine.

So, where do you set the compression and rebound knobs on the shocks at? Set it in the middle as a starting point?

Are you guys coming to gridlife in Colorado?

2:00 travel before bind is also a pretty relevant detail when selecting coilover springs (though not much difference between the Hypercos and Swifts here). Also, do the springs actually test out at their stated rate?

hey Ben, are you running Helper springs or Tender/Assist Springs?

Hey, so out of curiosity how/what did you use to mount the canister? Just got my coils and was wondering if you had any tips :)

How would you adjust bump stop height on independent suspension?

What are your spring rates for rear?

do these suspension setup tips apply to all cars in general or are specific cars different?

I have bc racing with 32 damper setting , should I put super hard or on 16 17 click for track day ?

When is the k swap glow up coming for the escort?

Бены! Вы крутые!

Hi what kind of spring rates are you running with the roll center correction?

lowkey had to see if Cameron Hills brz was totalled or not before i clicked on this one 😳

so when would you swap spring rates?

Hilarious question, but what lug nuts are you running?

I am surprised there weren't any "Let's Check Your Knowledge" mini quizzes throughout the video........

Yeeeee

Where's the "This video was sponsored by Fortune Auto" banner at the start?

ok dumb question here can you tell me the color of yours wheel ?
