No problem! Coilovers always will provide a stiffer, more aggressive ride than stock struts. These coilovers feel pretty decent for how cheap they are. (Although, they do not compare to my K-sports on my MR2). I will say, these coilovers have bottomed out on multiple occasions. This could be fixed by cutting the bump stops or adjusting the preload on the springs. I may be attempting this fix in a future video!
The car was originally manual, but the stock 5 speed actually blew up, so it now has the 5 speed from my MR2 Spyder, which has slightly different gearing, but only a few modifications had to be made for it to work!
Pretty normal for these 1zz engines to burn some oil if they're older and haven't been meticulously maintained. Though if there's any splatter near passenger side of the engine and/or on your belt, it's probably the O-ring on the timing chain tensioner. Super common for these 03-08 Matrix/Vibe once that o-ring gets old. Easy cheap to fix.
