These videos have always been informative, but the injection of humor has taken them to the next level. Well done.

Definitely do one on the coilovers you adjust with the body of the coilover. Rev 9, Bc ect.. awesome video as usual

@ebscoHOSTpub 3 года назад

Jesus, this was super informative! I am a first time VW owner of a 2019 Jetta SEL and now that I have some money I can spare, I wanted to get new tires/wheels and lower the vehicle since 99% of people recommended that to me. Except, I am not much of a car person and didn't know what to look for or ask for. My previous car was a manual Ford Focus RS that was mistakenly sold to me as a Focus Titanium lol. But man, this simplified things for me, I cant wait to continue my research on some mods I can do myself on this car.

@kwbalance108 2 года назад

NY driver here. Yes, That same permatex antiseize attracts dirt and grime like crazy. Been using it for over 10 years on coils though, I just clean it and reapply twice a year. T9 I had the opportunity to use but never did lol, using it next time.

Nice video. This was very helpful. Could you make a video covering tiptronic automatic Transmission fluid change from a VW Jetta 2003 1.8 turbo.

@michaeldobbin7622 4 года назад

Good info. One thing I would like to know is if damper adjustments can increase/decrease rubbing once you nail the fitment. Basically, will a soft setting create too much movement?

@13daprofessor 3 года назад

Question: Does the adjustment range take into account the comfort springs, if the coilovets have them? Would those then be removed to set the car to the minimum lowering?

@thefreedomguyuk 3 года назад

Subbed!! I just love your style. I do however feel you didn't answer the question I have. I have fitted Bilstein coilovers on my car, but I think they need adjusting. The problems are that when driving, I can hear the baubles on the lower branches scraping against the floor of my car. Also, the stereo is repeatedly playing Jingle Bells. To adjust this, do I turn the baubles left or right ??

@johnbowes7965 2 года назад

Here's a question... I have a (Yamaha) golf cart, and drive it around my retirement community streets (will not be taking it on the golf course). This model of golf cart is very light, and the ride feels EVERY slight bump in the road to the extent that my teeth rattle (and yes, they are all my own teeth so far). The stock shocks have 'Coil Overs'. I think I can change the 'coil over springs' on the shocks to either softer or stiffer spring rate. Do I go with a 'softer' or more 'heavy duty' spring rat to achieve a smoother/softer ride? Thank you.

@Necropheliac 2 года назад

@Deutche Auto Parts You missed something. Can you please talk about the options for those of us with adjustable dampening controlled by the car, and what options are available, with aftermarket coil-overs, to hook into the car's software. E.G.: My Audi will adjust the dampening based on if I'm in Comfort, Auto, or Dynamic mode. If Im looking to add aftermarket coil-overs, to replace the factory struts, how will the car be able to make those dynamic adjustments when I switch modes? Is it even possible at all?

@audikid89 2 года назад

Spray plastidip on the threads then remove before adjusting. Best way to protect coilover threads!!

What do you do to lift your VW’s instead of lowering them?

@andreagate542 Год назад

Is rule of thumb that you have the front and the rear equal heights from rim to fender on all four corners? Assuming you do not want that rake look. many thxs

@toddstrickland2653 2 года назад

The problem that I'm having is the very top of the coilover they have an allen wrench and a nut around it they're totally at different heights and not sure how it got like that but I'm not sure how to fix it either every video that I've watched his not even mentioned it

If you lower it to the point the CV joints are binding, then yes. It's not from constant change though.

@mohammedfareed9581 3 года назад

If your too low they might rub also the wheelgap may be different depending on if your new wheels/ tire setup is taller or shorter so that may be something you’d want to adjust

@jptuaz1992 3 года назад

hi, what adjustment can i do to my bc v1 coilovers to stop my rear tyres rubbing on the fender liners. preload, harder dampening or stiffer springs?

@Nugg3tRacing 3 года назад

On the BC, you need to set the strut length so the bump stop does not allow the wheel to make contact with any part of the body. Then use the coil seat to adjust the ride height. An no compressing the spring will not change the ride quality, the spring rate is linear on BC's. mcasuspension.com/technical/11/Ride-Height-Adjustment

@salmanbinabd-almalek7739 3 года назад

U r amazing seriously

@lordhyperkill 4 года назад

I have a 2017 alltrack and I would love to find a suspension solution where I could maintain the factory height and have the ability to lower it if I would like to. Is there a coilover or air suspension solution that could allow me to do that. It seems from what I have seen that whatever adjustable setup I get it’s highest setting will still be lower than sock.

@jameshaulenbeek5931 4 года назад

You can do that with coilovers or air.

@Oreganoflow 4 года назад

No mention of corner balancing which is the absolute best part of height adjustable suspension...

@dmbworks8094 4 года назад

you should do a video on comparing the balancing of the car before and after coil overs using scales. include some weight changes and driving effects you can achieve with really adjusting coil overs. i run air bags on my daily because im to lazy to get out and adjust coil overs, that would be several times a day haha.

@diego11032000 3 года назад

Could you cover adjusting preload on the rear? I'm still struggling to grasp how the preload gets adjusted on the rear system. I understand the process, but conceptually I don't understand how the preload doesn't go away once the car is on the ground. In other words, if the shock in the rear is responsible for creating the preload when adjusted against the spring (say 5mm or 10mm shorter than 0 slack on the spring, once the car settles, that same shock can theoretically be pulled off the car with no impact on the spring itself... so, therefore, the preload is gone. This has fried my circuits for years and every time I go back to change my ride height in the rear, I can successfully do it but I don't understand why it works that way.

@diego11032000 3 года назад

I guess my real question is: when corner balancing and attempting to keep all ride heights the same, only using preload, how would you increase preload on the rear without increasing ride height so that you get more weight on that wheel?

@alphaalpha432 3 года назад

How do the Bilstein coilovers compare to the stock Golf R suspension?

Wait a second. Is this a Bilstein B16? Did you get the PU Hose to slide over the springs without begging for them? I have a b16 in my MKV R32 and I had to write a ton of emails to Bilstein until they gave me an email address of Eibach where I got the Hose. Weird.

ok got to almost a minute in and the guy doesn't know the difference between a strut and a shock... then he says ... i don't think it matters... it kind of does matter... gees man you shouldn't be teaching people shit you don't know yourself... worst thing was he showed part of a strut and told you it was a shock.... its not. wow
