I'm new to STi and have been watching Kevin's videos. Recently I stumbled across a video of Kevin getting fired by SubiSpeed. I really enjoyed his videos and learned a lot from him. Sorry to say this but firing Kevin is your loss. He did an excellent job! - From Toronto, Ontario
This video is perfect for me. Love your no BS, nicely edited cut to the point here's how its done...but adding helpful notes for items installers should be aware of. Thank you for your clean, quick and to the point video install. Stay Awesome!
Just installed these yesterday on my 2020 STI and overall I’d say these feel amazing. Rude quality is top notch and very comfortable if you daily or go around town but can be adjusted for more spirited driving. The end links were a pain in the ass though to get on. Stock setup is awesome on height, it won’t slam your car but the ride height is functional and worthwhile. I can’t recommend these enough, thanks subispeed!
May have to pick a set of these up when they’re back in stock! P.S. please take your wedding ring off when doing maintenance lol I know too many people that have lost or almost lost a finger from slipping off a nut or bolt with one on
I got the same ones on my car. Just got them From subispeed. Mine make a noise whenever I turn the wheel to go left or right. Had them installed at a shop. They checked them and said it’s the lower spring that makes a noise.
So I bought some hypermax about a year n half ago and the adjustment dampener knob on the bottom of the fronts seized. My question is I'm working on changing out to my OEM for winter, and don't see any nuts/bolts that the shop left me. Do you re use the top hat nuts and hub bolts?
They look awesome, but when it comes to suspension I rather have everything from 1 brand so the parts work better with each other. Thank you for the video Kevin And they sold out already 😭
@@p_nutt Right now they are set up according to Ohlins recommendation. Which only lowered the car about 3/4". The car now feels more planted compared to the stock but the main difference is the damping, its spot on. But with these you can adjust the spring rate, damping, and obviously the camber. So you can have a good ride in the city and then adjust them for the track/canyon carving. Oh and they are just so damn gorgeous too!
Quick question. I never did this when I lowered my Accord or my G35, but I have heard that somehow I was supposed to tighten suspension fasteners when the suspension was loaded by the weight of the car. How is that supposed to happen for someone without a car lift? Is it really even necessary?
If I want the gap in between my car and tire to just barley show how much on the coils should I tighten them down too? And would I need to roll my fenders because I would prefer to not roll any fenders And I don’t want any tire tuck I just want a closed gap and do I need a alignment?
You would have to lower the car quite a bit to get rid of most of the wheel gap and yes you would risk rubbing without some fender rolling. When adjusting or installing any new suspension components, you'll always need an alignment after.
Good question! If you're not lowering the car much it's usually not a big deal. Obviously you can't adjust the camber, but it should still be fairly close. You will want to get an alignment however so they can dial in the toe.
Who's baru? so many brands of coil-overs out there. I know name is important, but who actually gets it right? I'm a static guy myself, but coil-overs are a nice one-stop-shop with "matched" parts. I'd install them, then just leave them set in one position never adjusting them ever again unless they need mx or I swapped out springs...defeating the actual purpose/usefulness of the coil-over
Woobaru is the nickname for the car because it's owned by Woo, one of our customer service reps. The coilovers are from HKS which is a very well known and recognized company from Japan. Coilovers are considered static as you can't just change them on the fly. That's usually how most people utilize coilovers, the height adjustment is there so you can get it right the first time and then you usually don't have to mess with it after that. That certainly doesn't defeat the purpose of the coilover cause it's main purpose is to improve handling and performance, not just allow adjustment.
If you want a set it and forget it setup that will be super comfortable, I'd recommend the HKS Hipermax S. If you want something a bit more performance oriented that you can tweak a bit more then I'd recommend the Fortune 500s. Both are great options.
