Seen about 40 vids and 100 articles that just confused me into a loop. This was so concise. Thank you

Thank you!! Love the wrench on its side as a reference guide trick! My wrenches are exactly 5mm thick. This helped me so much. Kept getting coil noise and tried adjusting a few times with no luck. This method got it dialed in finally!

You explain everything so good and easy to understand!!!

Just picked up some maXpeedingRODS for my Subaru Legacy. Recently bought some 18" wheels (stock wheels 16") and even though I have not installed them yet, I realized that I'm gonna need coilovers to make the car sit correctly. Can't wait!

You have to put another lock ring as well bc where connected at steering & the wheel , the assembly on the shock will turn on the thread bc you only have one locking ring. As you steer it will undo & turn back & forth on its thread. Not supposed to work that way . I made a steel ring used 5mm round bar . No need for thread . So supplied lock ring then lock ring you make then screw bottom assembly on then lock together ya feel me.

Excellent improvements to the civic. Congratulations

MPR recommends 7-10mm preload. Its specified on their site.

Awesome mate! Thank you, very well explained👍🔧🧰🔩

Helped a lot!

Hey brother quick question! For the rear is that the correct way they should sit for install ?? Spring on top adjustment on the bottom ?

Very helpful!!! Thank you!!!

Very well explained thank you

SAW YOUR COMMENT ON ANOTHER VID, SUBBED LIKED, FOLLOWING THE 8TH GEN, SORRY FOR CAPS BROKE

make a video of showing how to lower it more by adjusting preload.. cause I know the maxpeeding rods don't get that low In the rear

Very Good man!. Learned alot. Thank yo.

You helped me out. Thanks bro

Thank you so much Love that

Great information thanks alot

New sub an like 👍, thx for the info. I recently purchased a set for my em2.

Legend, thank you

The manufacturer recommends 7mm to 10mm, that's 1.5x to 2x the spanner width.

i didnt install the rear springs on read cause were way smaller than the ones that come with mustang i set the rear height to 5 and half in and front ones at 3 and 3\4 in and gave mustang a nice profile

8” is fine?

Two questions 1.Will adjusting the coil over preload to wrench width reduce the stiffness? (mine came preloaded, and I think I might have to loosed the preload) 2. Will adjusting the coil over preload mess with the alignment if its already on there? I know ill have to lift the car up, i seen you reply below. Thanks for that.

I heard they come stock with 10mm of preload which is more than that spanner wrench, its about almost 2 of those wrenches. 10mm seems high amount of preload but thats how they come stock, i have mine set to 8mm in front and 4mm in rear on 98 civic.

What are the best settings for riding on dirt and gravel?

Hey, do coilovers weigh less than stock civic struts? I have a 2011 lx , don't want to lower it but am looking to reduce weight even if it's only 4 or 5 pounds. When you put them on could you weigh them vs stock?

Helpful, thank you

Hi! Just found your video, dunno if you still reply to comments but I need a bit of help. I bought set for my celica T23,. Front works how it should but rear seems not lowered at all, actually possibly even raised. I screwed the coil almost all over in the bottom mount. Is it possible the preload of the spring is affecting the ride height?

Ride height Adjustment?

I got these coilovers, I set the damping to its stiffest, the spring at its shortest but it still bounces a lot and is far from static. What should I do?

I’m stuck with the height, I had mine the lowest they could go and one side popped out from the strut body (part that bolts to the wheels) when I reversed out of the garage, I didn’t have the top nuts tightened but I’m not sure why the strut body popped loose from the strut towers

Can anyone help me out with a problem, i recently bought maxpeeding rods coilovers for my 08 civic, they are the t6 upgraded ones, the rear dont make any noise and ride smooth but the front ride super stiff and make a clunking sound, (metal on metal sound) i checked all the bolts and made sure the camber plates were flat against the chassis however, its still making noise, i adjusted the rears but didnt do anything to the fronts, i just put them on out of the box, any suggestions?

Hello, just recently installed my Maxspeeding rods coilovers. Theyre doing good atm but the only issue im facing is when the top bolt of front coilovers gets loose out of nowhere even though I have already tighten them twice now. Is there anyway I can tighten this properly so it doesnt go loose again when driving?

Can preload be adjusted when the coilovers are already installed on the car?

You must install camber kit, the project will be excellent.

I found movement of the a front spring after setting preload (this was at 10mm which is 2x the width of the wrench.). It was not moving when off the car but once installed. I found this out when i hear clunking sound during low speed driving straight only. I jacked up car, took wheel off, use another just to push up on the hub to driving height and gave the springs a little push/pull and it slightly moved. Not sure if it's the top section or the lower section of the spring. Any suggestions?

AMIGO NO SE INGLÉS PERO TENGO UN 2010 HONDA CIVIC SI SI ME PUEDES AYUDAR DICIENDO SOLAMENTE SI LOS COMPRO O NO

Do you have the link to these?

I have these coils. What about the Damper setting for the fronts?

can u lower the car more by adjusting the preload?

I adjusted my coils and noticed the springs have a ton of play. I can move them by hand up and down about 2 inch. But I haven't noticed anything when driving like this for years.... What should I do? This was only for rears

how a bout the rear? i mean the one separate strut with springs?

I used the same amount of preload but I'm finding the coilovers are noisy? Should they make any noise at all? Sounds like a got mice under my car, squeeky, when I go over a bump, maybe it needs more preload?

I’m have clunky noise in the rear which is driving me crazy. Replaced the sway bar links and still nothing. Not sure if the pre load my be out of wack?

ohhh its the guy from the movie "my science project"

the preload must be loose on my coilover then. Im hearing clunking at almost every bump crevice in the road. and I went through every suspension component and I cannot find the reason.

Excuse me, what size did you put on the spring so the car won't go hard?

hi bro,what do you suggest/prefer preload for ride comfort road,1mm to?

I have these on my Volvo S70 and have to say that they are soo stiff the Volvo is like a go kart with no suspension. There is no bounce at all, solid. 8KG spring rate so i imagine this is far too hard for my car.

The same ones you have in video

This doesn't adjust the bump stop, so it's worth mentioning that using this method could cause interference between the tire and the wheel well.

Where do I start? This is misinformation. To a point it's almost 90% incorrect. You DO NOT see quality coilovers (KW, MCS, JRZ, AST) use independent shock mounts. Cheap coilovers do tho, and the shock mounts from these cheap coilovers should be used to tune bumpstops (in this case lack of bumpstops). So your tires won't contact the fenders when your shocks bottom out. You absolutely should use "preload" (more like spring perches) to adjust ride height. The expensive coilovers I mentioned only use spring perches to adjust ride height. In your case, if you concern about main springs getting loose by not having enough "preload", you should look into a set of helper springs. My biggest point. What happens when you thread that shock mounts all the way up for lower ride height, but then you hit a large bump on the road? Your shock will continue to travel upward, you either get spring binding or your tires will try to go through your fenders. Bad juju my man. Be better

How do I properly adjust height without interfering with preload ?

Best $200 coilovers

Do not buy MaxpeedingRods Street coilovers - they are cheap. but if you want to lower your car, the rear will end up HIGHER then before. The rears are way too long and have very little adjustment. A 1999 Miata ended up with lowering the front by 1/2" and RAISING the rear 1" above the OEM strut height.

So pointless adjustment , static perch on proper height would save time

Trash coilovers. DO NOT BUY THESE

Bruh you talk to much
