Those coil covers are a nice touch😎

I'd love to get a set of these, plus the sway bars. I'm quietly hoping they'll be back in stock before August '23.

love your parts for the Grand Prix. I wish you guys made parts for the 2005-2011 STS V8.

Why? Nobody would buy them. Even D3 went out of business and they did a lot for the sts/sts v. I have an 05 sts4 v8 1sg f55 fyi…

They used the felt fender liners for noise reduction. Plastic liners are noisier.

can i use it insted of electric one or i will face proplems

@Cloos08 11 ай бұрын

With this suspension, would this allow wider tires upfront to fit ? I have issues fitting 235/45/18 upfront because it hits on the stock struts. @zzperformance

@ZZPerformanceChannel 11 ай бұрын

Yes, removing the stock style strut will open up plenty of room in the wheel well.

At 41:17, when the rear shock absorber is lowered into the control arm, is the exhaust jack compressing the spring? To what extent is the spring compressed? That's to set the preload on the shock absorber, right? About how much preload is wanted on the shock absorber?

@ZZPerformanceChannel Жыл бұрын

Yes, the spring is being compressed. You don't need much preload on the spring, we usually recommend about 2-4mm of preload. As long as the spring is tight in it's seat and you then set the rear damper, install damper, and the spring won't go anywhere.

Do you need to get new sway bars to have these on, I purchased some and they’ll be here tomorrow but I don’t have new sway bars, can I upgrade them later down the road or do I have to do them now?

@ZZPerformanceChannel 3 ай бұрын

New sway bars are not needed. You can absolutely upgrade those down the line.

Genuine thoughts on magnaride vs coilovers. Are they still better than the coilovers?

@wanderingbufoon 3 ай бұрын

Magnaride are always superior. The stiffness can be soft or hard based on your ride settings. The con side is that its electric so if theres a failure, you're stuck with whatever mechanical parts, which is the soft ride. Its ok but it can be expensive. Certainly more flexible. Take magnaride over coilover btw. More ups than down.

I’ve called up there a couple times trying to make an appointment. I have an ats and want new coil overs installed. How do I set up an appointment? Should I come in?

Email Service@zzperformance.com, that'll get you to Bo who is our service bay manager. He is the only one who can set up appointments and service scheduling.

@jonathanmcbride7238 Жыл бұрын

How much of a drop did you end up putting on it?

@gbrunner24 Жыл бұрын

Probably about 2.5" in the rear and 2" in the front. The car has a natural rake from the factory (rear higher than the front) and while this ride height tucks a little in the rear, the car is now level.

What about if my suspension has the magnetic struts

@ZZPerformanceChannel 5 ай бұрын

You would need to purchase magnetic ride cancelers to get rid of the light on the dash when moving towards coilovers. They are available from a few vendors online.

@@chiashley26 Sorry for the delay in response. Revisiting this video again, I've finally figured out when i bought my Cadillac ATS 2.0T Luxury that it is in-fact lowered. I didn't really realize this until i went to replace the tires that came with the car when i bought it Toyo Proxes Plus (Best tire i ever used btw). When i went to replace my tires the tire shop told me the car had actually been lowered and now after revisiting this video I can finally confirm the fact that the car has actually been lowered. In fact it sits identical to your in terms of ride height. However, I've noticed my ride has been riding really hard, where i literately feel every bump in the road. So thinking of upgrading to these coil overs. You've had them for 8 months now right? How are they treating you? Any issues? Do you think they are worth the purchase price?

Why would you ever put coilovers on a ATS,I've put coilovers on a Audi,also i own an ATS,changing the suspension on what is supposed to be a luxury car is a terrible idea,you'll regret it.
