🎥 Coilovers Install Guide: • How To: Install Adjust...
MaXpeedingRods reached out to me about doing a review of their products, so I chose the top end coilovers they had to offer for my car (CO-SCITC-1116-G-LC-VG2). I was actually surprised at how well these worked, considering how inexpensive they are.
If sharing up your own experiences with these coilovers, please post up when you bought them. I've seen some bad reviews in the past, but it looks like they've improved the quality more recently. I received my set on 2021.05.10.

I bought and installed these over the weekend. Definitely a rougher ride, but I drive a 2007 mustang gt, which is already a rougher ride to begin with. I'm hoping they loosen up over time. Also mine did come with them packaged exactly as yours did in the video, with some definite scratches in the hardware, so unfortunately it doesn't look like they embraced your recommendation. :/

I bought these same coil overs around 5 months ago I will say I do like them a lot the ride nice although I need to adjust my front fitment and the back is a little too stiff, I do get a lot of that spring like grinding noise that you put those little slabs in I might buy them see if that helps also I also left the pillar ball mount dry idk if that’s causing this clanking noise when I accelerate at times, I also did notice mine did not come with the dampening nob although Im not picky about that, besides that the car drives nice she sits low and it’s a blast.

@VampyreX13 3 жыл бұрын

Email support and see if they can send you out the knobs. Also, did you set your preload correctly on the front and rear? As for the noise when accelerating, maybe spay some white lithium into the pillow ball mount as a test to see if the noise goes away or not. I had some noises for a while when accelerating and I thought it was my endlinks. Turned out my s-pipe shifted and was tapping on my front brace.

I just got me a set for an 07 eclipse gt. Ride is rough. I'm new to the coilovers scene so trying to figure out how to damper, camber and all that good stuff to hopefully end up with a another ride. Quality looks really good. Packaging like you mentioned was not so great. Noting bent but definitely scratched. Easy to install good piece for the set. Look really nice. Just need help Auth the settings.

@VampyreX13 Жыл бұрын

The camber should be done by an alignment shop. The damper settings are going to be trial an error. Just set them all the same, drive, see how it feels, then adjust them all again and see if it's better or worse. You may need to stiffen up one end over the other (front vs rear) for optimal handling. Just make sure you keep the same settings for the matching left and right sides.

@VampyreX13 Ай бұрын

The springs are still going to make the ride feel a lot more rough than OEM no matter where you have the dampers set to. You may want to stick with lowering springs or higher quality coilovers or bags if you are concerned about ride comfort.

How’s your max speeding rod coilovers quality goin? And are they monnotube or twin tube? And how comfy or not so comfy are they, yet they still ride excellent? @DerrickAquino

@VampyreX13 Жыл бұрын

They're actually holding up really well considering this is my daily. They're monotube and the ride is pretty stiff but fine on decent roads and the highway, but can be rough when driving on the city streets in Baltimore. I had debated on swapping them out, but then I get onto a nice and fun backroad and remember why I love them. The car corners great nd even if I hit a small bump in the road going straight or on a turn, my tires haven't lost contact and I've always felt in control of the car.

@toyotabrony Жыл бұрын

@@VampyreX13 sometimes u gotta make some sacrifice by want for more stuff to feel better contact on the road. While u don’t mind that, and keep ur comfort decently. A monotube shock’s supposed to make ur ride comfy. But then again, u have damping and rebound adjustments. So it depends, u want comfy, stiff, or both?. For better feel and handling performance over comfort, (while don’t mind stiffness), I’d stick with stiff setup. Lol

love your videos as always! now that it's been a year do you still recommend them? I'm worried because of how cheap they are.

@VampyreX13 2 жыл бұрын

I've been putting them under a good amount of stress from potholes and driving 1 to 4 hours to events while fully loaded at least twice a week, and they're still holding up without any leaks or issues. The only thing is that the ride has definitely gotten more harsh over the last few months and I've had to adjust the dampers to compensate. I'll probably switch back over to my TRD springs sometime this year since it's a bit too rough when I'm carrying passengers now.

Still holding up the same. I did have to re-tighten the front coilovers' bottom locking ring once, but they've been good otherwise. There's no signs of leaks or change in ride quality (unless the car is fully packed and loaded down, then it's a bit harsh). There's some slight surface rust on the sleeves, but not enough to affect moving the rings up and down.

I just bought a set for my tsx from their website. Not even 2 days the Right rear started pouring oil out of it. Theyre sending me 1 replacement coilover. Who's responsible for the labor to swap it in? I'll never buy anything from them again.

@VampyreX13 8 ай бұрын

I'm sorry to hear that. I lucked out with mine and didn't have any issues aside from poor packaging. I have a friend riding on them with his GTR for a couple of years and he hasn't had any problems either, which is suprising considering how low he set his. They are a very inexpensive brand, so there's always a chance to get a dud. You could always try swapping in the replacement coilover yourself since you won't have to deal with stuck, rusted nuts and bolts as you have a fresh install. If you want a decent set of coilovers, plan to spend at least $1000 on them. These were a nice intro for me to see if I really wanted coilovers for my car, and I'll probably invest in a set of Teins or better when I do decide to redo the suspension again.
