Thank you for sharing, too many people *cough (donut media) tell you to stay away from cheap coils like these because they don't know how to properly adjust them, too many big egos in the car community lol but I digress. Much love brother!
How difficult is it to properly adjust the height and level the car out with these? My girlfriend actually bought me a set of these for my birthday. Very excited to see how they’ll perform.
i just put these on my 2001 corolla and i had to pull my rear fenders out to the max . i had the rear at the highest setting but still had mad scraping on my 8" rims. just fyi to those out there. i'm happy with these for sure. bang for the buck
@@ahmedradi8661 I didnt actually. I did some more poking around on em and actually chose to go a different route (tokico orange ST struts, and stayed with stock springs)..... the struts with the stock springs added a good a pretty clean ride and carve pretty hard in the turns. Plus, with a set of cusco upper (front/rear) strut tower braces it really tightened up the suspension....
Okay now I'm confused I have a 2013 Civic SI with rev9's divorced setup on the back. Do you adjust the height with the struts or the spring because they both have adjustments and people are saying don't touch the spring because it's the preload and other people are saying that's how you adjust the height so which is it. It makes more sense to me that the adjustment on the spring is for preload and height adjustment is on the strut. Correct?
For the rears, you don't lower it with the springs, you're messing with the preload again. You want to adjust the ride height on the struts. You should have noticed that being that you just stated it for the fronts.
They are two different types of suspension, there’s no preload on the rear without the cars weight on top, if you lower the spring on the rear on these, it lowers the height the car sits at, same preload as before
For the rear on my car with the rev9's I have the divorced setup and my springs are at the lowest setting but the shocks are at the tallest setting and it rides nice over no bumps, then going over bumps the car bounces lol
Are these the HyperStreet ONE or 2? I don't even see threads in the pictures to adjust for the Hyperstreet ONE for my 2008 Dodge Caliber. Are these Divorced style adjustment? Also do I need Adjustable Sway bar end links?
If I maxed these out, would it bring me to stock height? Or just by design, will this lower my car no matter? I don't really want to low my car much at all, but my oem equipment are blown
I just bought a set of these rev 9's for my 2018 accord. I don't know how low to go. what would you recommend? I want a really nice stance but I also don't want it too low. maybe a lil lower than oem.
I am installing rev9 coilover on 96 bmw 328i, i seen some guys do a preload on rear before mounting the strut, how much of preload should be done for rev9 coilovers ?
You adjust the height to where you want it using the spring perch adjuster then put a jack under the lower control arm in the rear and jack it up until you get about 5 - 10 mm of preload then you adjust the rear shock bottom until the bolt hole lines up for you to bolt it to the lower control arm
I'm really not understanding what you mean about the rear coilovers when you say you want the thread to be "up here" I think what you are trying to say is that you want to make sure you have enough of the threads into the lower mount but could you clarify the maximum height you can adjust to on the rears?
Correct! We've just had some customers leave one thread and then wonder why it broke... make sure to have enough thread in there so it's secure and won't break loose. Every application is different for adjustment, but when you have about an inch of thread left, you know you pretty much maxed it out
Got these installed at a professional shop yesterday but the ride is Really bad. I wonder if they ruined the preload trying to lower it like you said on this video. Would lowering the top preload help smoothen ride quality if that's what they did? Or will It be guess work trying to re correct preload
I'm late but this actually just happened to me, so does this mean I can't adjust the ride height and increase the height without completely taking out the suspension all the way??
I am wondering about that also. I would assume you adjust the spring height to your desired ride height and then adjust the shock so that you maintain full shock travel. If the shock is too short, It'll preload the spring and if it's too tall, It'll bottom out since it's effectively shortened the travel distance of the shock.
Hi i got these installed on my bmw f30, the problem is the front doesn’t lower more than 1” inch. The back is perfect at 2”inches but not the front. Do you know the issue i may be having? Could it be that thee coil-overs don’t really fit a bmw?
I have a question. Mine look just like the ones you have pictured. For the rear shock do I adjust it at all? I’m going to set my rear springs as high as they will go. Would I wanna do anything with the shock?
@@AngelA-bd6nf y0u can loosen the bottom nut and the strut will spin freely without taking it off or messing with preload. Just make sure the entire strut is spinning
You can adjust it while it's on the car, but you would need to still disconnect the lower mount so you can spin it. You can keep the top attached - makes it much easier :)
Initially that’s how you measure it, then after it’s been installed you can lower or raise the height by spinning the collar, not the lower portion of the body. So you’re practically saying that the whole coilover has to come out if you want to raise it or lower it......unpractical.
nah if you loosen the lowest lock collar, the whole strut will spin to be lowered. I've had them on my car for 2 months now and have played with ride height a lot and haven't had a single problem adjusting them on the car.
Usually, at the highest setting, they will still be right around a 1 inch drop. If you want to go less, we do have TEIN on our site also, and depending on your car, it might drop less... the rates are on the listings on shop.redline360.com/collections/suspension?_=pf&pf_pt_product_type=Coilovers Thanks!
Redline360 I want to know if tein basis z would be good on my G37s coupe? I’m looking for stock comfort and not looking to drop much more then stock height aswell. It’s my daily car and I drive in LA roads
So i bought these for my 2015 bmw 328i Rwd. The shop installed them, the rear slammed at 2”inches but the front doesn’t lower more than 1”inch. Maybe only for my bmw? Anyways the install went well besides the height issue. But now im getting a clunking noise on the right front passenger side when i go over bumps an road dips. so theirs that.... Damping is on hard
Start on the soft side. You're going to have different settings in the front compared to the rear because of there being more weight in the front. You're front settings also may slightly differ for it to feel even since the front drivers side is the heaviest corner of the car. It'll probably take you a couple days atleast to get it right where you want it.
@@Mikey-kw7rj he just told you in the video not to do that. stop making up dumb shit when its locked into the other ring so it will actually effect preload
If the ride height is in the spring then what you just guess with the strut....compress the hell out of the spring so its not slammed then just hope the hight and preload is good because if I go by what everyone else says online I need like 3 more inches of thread on the back strut...because this video shows nothing on the preload on rev9 with the divorce setup kinda bs
i’m maxed out in the front but i still need to go lower what could i do? the rears are slammed but the front is has about an inch gap…. can i tighten the preload to go another inch up? It’s kind of frustrating, i have hyper street 2’s on my bmw f30
its 1” if you do it this way, its 3” if you ruin the spring load. I dropped mine all the way and still didnt get the ride height I was looking for for my 97 miata. Kinda upsetting.
so what your saying is, if I do adjust the preload to go lower, it will go lower? could care less about ride quality cause they were $500, I wanna be dat slammed boi at the meet, not the dude with tire gap and "good" ride quality.
Great job on the coilovers and good advice. I installed these coilovers and I love them. I did a video on my channel of the install and will be making a review video soon, I've already started shooting the raw footage. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-saGIONcaPTs.html
Those dont look like progressive rate springs.... adjusting the ride height with the bottom doesn't let you set the bumb stops. Meaning that the car could hit fenders. I have seen other vids were ride height is adjusted in the spring....
Rev9 poor quality. steet driven on a accord for a year, didnt even tough the track. front right strut already squaling and for some reason, my wheel is dirty on reg basis (no, my brake line a clean and calipers are clean) This a poor quality ebay struts. side note: their accord kit, is garbage. they sell on ebay for 1.5 to 2.5 drop.. i was running alread! out of thread in the rear.. at 3in drop. and yes, I have watched the video and know what it takes, rev9 is garbage.
Wish I would’ve seen this exact comment before I installed rev9 on my Accord. Topped out the rear coil overs and still have less than a finger gap between tire and fender….
