@MrJjburgess11 2 года назад

Reminds me of the time I did a front sway bar on my old srt4. One of the bolts snapped off in the frame. Took 5 hours to get the broken bolt out . Re thread it . And put in a new bolt.

@KevinRamirez-yx6ty 2 года назад

When jobs go sideway it’s the worst .. I don’t ever wanna touch springs again haha

@VanndyC 2 года назад

Hey, great video! Quick question, after you install the springs. Did you have to load the end links to install it on the car? I had coilovers install on my fk8 by a shop an there's a clunking noise on slow speeds over cracks and uneven roads but when driving fast there is no clunk. Not sure if you had any clunk after the spring install.

@KevinRamirez-yx6ty 2 года назад

Hey man! I’m not really sure I haven’t heard about loading the end links before and mine connected right up, however now that you mention it there is a little clunk every once in a while if I go over a speed bump or hill at the right angle. I’ll look into that, and I was going to check out my car soon! Keep me updated if you find anything about it!

@leeghandi6793 11 месяцев назад

so for the other side did you just remove the two bolts on the LCA bushing and leave the single bolt loose? and it dropped down low enough to remove the strut? i loosened the LCA bolts and still cant get it to drop low enough

@KevinRamirez-yx6ty 11 месяцев назад

Breaking the LCA Bolt loose should be enough to remove i had to get a pry bar in there and wedge it open, just don’t forget about the slit in the strut tower that allows you to slide it to the side

@bj10jgo 2 года назад

Why do you need to cut bump stops, any issues if you dont cut it?

@KevinRamirez-yx6ty 2 года назад

Bump stops kinda serve as a last resort so you don’t bottom out your suspension during travel, like your reducing the height of your spring you’d also decrease the height of the bump stop so it doesn’t have any issues just in case bottoming out or something 👍🏽

@mannyfresh2def91 Год назад

If you would have jacked up or raised up the control arm the bolt would have threaded on like butter.

@KevinRamirez-yx6ty Год назад

Tried that, didn’t work

@danielchicas3001 Год назад

Wanted to ask, how low of a drop did the springs give you?

@KevinRamirez-yx6ty Год назад

The Swift springs are a 1 inch drop but I’ve seen some of them drop a little lower than that by a little, mine was perfectly an inch

@danielchicas3001 Год назад

@@KevinRamirez-yx6ty you do have any rubbing ? Also if you don’t mind me asking what’s your wheel and tire set up?

@@KevinRamirez-yx6ty I hope not it's my last project on my car I've already installed a high flow catalytic converter which is a downpipe, cat back valvetronic exhaust & running Jb4 map 2, so the springs will complete everything

@fkhothatchi 2 года назад

yup that bolt is a bitch because of the fckin front sway bar. I've always used my hands to thread it and use my other hand to wiggle the LCA then when I know it's in that's when I start using tools to thread them in. done it 2x now and its never easy lol

@KevinRamirez-yx6ty 2 года назад

Haha. Yeah the sway bar made it terrible I had to loosen it and get someone on the passenger side to pull down on it a bit and I had enough room to insert it after that

@christianservin7635 2 года назад

You went to two Home Depot’s and lowes… why not just go to Honda and buy the bolt from Honda 😵‍💫

@KevinRamirez-yx6ty 2 года назад

Hondas Parts department closes at 7, It was past that, plus I needed to repair the threads not just run in a bolt
