REV9 Coilovers Review (ARE THEY GOOD or BAD?) 3 Years w/ Hyper Street Suspension 

Appreciate the support and youll have to send mea pic of your mustang on twitter or instagram 🙂

Hey @smobstar how are they I wanted to get some to for my mustang

Did you end up getting these for your b13? Can you share some feedback?

@@sergeantrhopwnzoncss sure did! I use it as my daily. Love the adjustability it offers too. The spring rate it came with was a little stiff for my liking though. I was able to use my Eibach springs and swap them out.

thanks for the support on teh video!

if your's is bouncy, usually that means the spring rate is too firm for the amount of damping provided from the shock absorber. But from what I gather, these are not the highest spring rate but still stiffer than OEM. I have a 2005 Acura TL and I just emailed advan racing, and they said for my car, the Spring rate is 10kg/5kg. And that is not the lowest, nor is it the highest spring rate that I have seen for my TL. So in general, these coilovers do not have the highest spring rate which would cause a lot of bouncing. So maybe the shock is not damping enough?? I think even a 10kg spring for my car would Bounce IF I put an OEM type shock absorber on my car.. Those have a low damping rate. So you end up bouncing a lot. Also, if you lowered your car to the ground, that may also cause bouncing. These coilovers are likely for mild drop only BUT they provide a better ride when not lowered too much. But I assure you 1 thing.. If you buy another brand, and drop it low, it will bounce too! And it will ride horrible! BC or not!

Nice 👍 thanks for the support dude

appreciate it man

Ya theyre a great budget coilover 🙂

doesn't the 2003 audi a4 come with a k04 stock?

@@saijack_ maybe the ultra sport but normally no it comes with a ko3

@@tunanocrust5089 okay i see, i did some googling and it looks like i might have been thinking about the rs4

Ya the problem with the negative reviews are people expecting to pay $500 and get the best coil overs on the planet..... That isnt how stuff works, things are more money for a reason & people need to understand you get what you pay for. The coil overs have no issues, they just dont offer as many features as other coilovers like BC which are over 4x the amount of money. If all you want to do is lower your car and dont mind taking a little extra time to adjust them manually to get the ride you want, then they are great. If all you want to do is throw them on the car and spend 10 seconds adjusting a few settings and you think its worth paying $2000 for that ease of use, then ya BC is better.

love the profile pic lmao

So basically don’t tighten the suspension and compress the coil? Isn’t that the point of going low

@@jameschildress4887 the point of going low it to lower your center of gravity and create a better handling vehicle. Preload has nothing to do with ride height. Changing it will eliminate any handling benefit and make the car ride like trash.

Thanks for that input. I’ve been looking to upgrade my current suspension setup in my B13 Sentra. Much appreciated.

@@jameschildress4887 You can lower the shocks without compressing the spring.

Nice :)

I don't have that issue no. Not sure what to say 😕

@@DanDoesCar noooo ;( thank you anyways for the quick reply.

You can adjust whether you want a soft bouncy ride or if you want a stiffer track style suspension 👍

They lasted me 3 years. I live in NH with lots of salt and sand and they rusted out & I could not adjust them.... My 86 was my daily before I bought my 2nd car for winter, so I was lifting it up in the winter and dropping it in the summer. Had to get new ones this year.... I think it was a good purchase. 3 years for $500 is good & would have lasted WAY WAY WAY LONGER if I would have just set it and forgot it, but I was adjusting them for seasons, so had no choice. I got some new ones in this video I showcase them. They are also cheap ones ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0IEzbqkLVy0.html

How is it I might get some for my q50

I have only taken my car to the track 1 time and it handled fine..... But in all honesty, I am probably not the guy to be asking that question, if I gave you an answer, it would be a lie.... But from my personal experience, they are great as a daily coil over 100%, just not sure about the track/racing aspect of them

@@DanDoesCar I appreciate the honest response. Being an ultra budget suspension I think I’m going to give these a go. If anything they’ll enable me to appreciate higher end suspensions later on when opting for those on more track oriented cars. Appreciate you, Dan!

@@nsemlak09how have these done for you this past year?

Granite State Tuners is the best one I know of. Not sure if they have reopened since covid, but I imagine they have

are you sure its the coil overs or is it the wheel and jack in your trunk? My car rattles as well, but its in the back where all the spare tire and stuff is

Coilovers are suppose to be like that. The stiffer ride is for performance. Most people get coilovers for 2 reasons 1 to lower there car 2 for better performance and to lower there car

Hearing and feeling bumps is normal with a stiffer suspension yes. They should not be bouncing and loose mak8ng noises though, no.

Are you from New Hampshire too!!!??? haha That is cool!!

If they say 3 inches, then it is probably just 3 inches.... You can go lower yes, but its unsafe and why they say 3

Thanks !! And how low of 3 inches did you lower it? and you've had a problem?

no idea. google it lol

They are still holding strong for me. But I do have the BRZ version, so I cant 100% confirm yours will be the same since a charger is like twice the weight lol I would imaging they will be good though

Based off of the way they feel on a BRZ, I would recommend the brand for any car..... But I cant give a 100% honest answer to that because I do not own one of those cars. But based off of my car, I like them

@@DanDoesCar thank you, that helps convince me and thank you for the super fast response!

I have them installed on my Chevy Cruze and they are amazing I definitely recommend it for a starter set up!

They are a really good value, they obviously arent BC, but those are over 5x the price lol

I’m looking to lower my Honda Civic a bit for an aggressive look but wasn’t sure if these would be worth it for a comfortable ride

I daily my car and have had lots of people say they are comfortable..... Until I stiffened the springs, but from the factory they are great coilovers for a daily car. Once you start tightening / compressing the springs or maxing out the damping they become stiff. But any coilover will be that way if you adjust it to be that way. Coilovers allow you to adjust all of that and the ride you want

no leaks, comfort is fine & no they feel like normal coil overs. They are not the most comfortable, but IDK anyone that would buy coil overs expecting to have a softened ride.... The whole point of them is for a stiffer ride to get better performance XD lmao

@@DanDoesCar ok good to know. I’ve had several coilovers. Probably the best would be fortune auto. They were way more comfortable than my stock. They didn’t feel stiff at all ven they are made for performance. That’s why I asked.

Ya they are good budget coilovers for sure

100% yes 👍

Most would, even just from cars lower center of gravity just from being lower

because expensive ones are..... its like the old bs with rep vs real wheels.... who cares if they are rep or overpriced real wheels, if we arent going to track our car, it doesnt matter... people just want to be race car drivers with their daily, which if you ask me is just dumb.... having fun in your car is 1 thing, flying around corners at 100mph with your street race car is just moronic

I'd be lying if I said I knew that answer..... Given that the new model has new body lines, I would guess that the answer to that is no. I did see some posts on reddit about using the 1st gen coilovers on the 2nd gen, but that isn't mechanic advice. So you would have to call the company and ask that question because I couldn't find anything online about that.

They are fine for daily driving yes.... They are coilovers, they are meant to be stiff, that is kinda the whole purpose of getting them is to increase the cars handling & or lower your car, which both require stiffness.... that is of course unless you want your wheels rubbing non stop, bottoming out non stop & wheels getting stuck in the fender wells going around sharp corners..... lol So ya, they are comfortable enough

@DanDoesCar I just want a new suspension for my car that will last longer than my stock suspension and will handle bumps a lot better. It's just a work car. I have been wanting to try coilovers, and my stock suspension cost me around 400, but I can get these coilovers for like 1 to 2 hundred dollars more.

not sure why you would get coilovers if you are keeping the car at stock height. Probably way better off just getting upgraded springs. Way cheaper

@@DanDoesCar I guess I should have said pretty close to stock ride height. I'm mainly needing something that could be closer to a half inch. I just don't have much clearance left because of the rim sizes I have. There's a little bit of wiggle room but I have to have adjustment. I may not be able to go full inch. Mainly to have the possibility to change drop in the future when I swap to smaller rims but I want it to be drivable until I do get them. Mainly just looking for the option of stock ride heights or an inch or a little more in the future drop. For the time being I need a little mixture of both so I was hoping that I could adjust these up to stock ride heights temporarily until I can afford my new rims. I was going for the chunky rims on a small car. Now I'm wanting handling and adjustability. Just can't afford the rims at the moment.

To make a long story short I definitely want the adjustability in the future but trying to do this during the era of Bidenomics is a lot slower than I was expecting. I can afford to replace the shocks now it'll probably be about another 2 to 3 months before I can afford another set of rims

I mean I still have them on my car and don't have any problems.... but giving an exact time frame is kind of hard

@SuperDan 2 thank you I'm going to buy them seems like they perfect thank for ur time God bless

IDK if you are talking about the BRZ or some other type of car, but I can confirm that the BRZ is able to be lowered WAY more than 1" and it is more than capable of being lifted past stock height as well.... I raise it in the winter and I am guessing just by looking at my car in the video that you can clearly see I have it lowered way more than 1" lol

@@DanDoesCar he’s saying that 1 inch lower than stock is the highest they can go

@@DanDoesCarnot what he said guy. Wake up.

Idk, just different brands trying accomplish different things. You probably got stance coilovers, not performance coilovers like these

probably because those were $60 PER Coilover and these are around $150 per coilover

@@thetruth6238 I think it's more of my error, at the time I didn't know how to adjust coilovers properly and I was compressing the spring to lower it 😅

I had a set of maxpeedingrods once, ride was extremely stiff even with max dampening. Looking back wasn't worth the investment imo 🤣

low enough, pretty sure its like a 3inch drop, the amazon link i included to listing will say

Im not sure honestly. Im not a mechanic, I just know it stopped the rubbing lol

@@DanDoesCar it’s it uncomfortable when close to full stiff?

I didnt think so, but it isnt like cadilac comfort. I drive it all around and no complaints, but you do feel a lot of bumps ya

@@DanDoesCar I’m debating between the rev9 and Adlerspeeds

I didn't know that tbh..... My car certainly stopped rubbing after tightening the springs with the same ride height. Does tighting the springs change camber? Just not sure how I'd rub nonstop and then stop rubbing after tightening the springs.

@@DanDoesCar So to keep the same ride height you must have tightened the spring by x amount, and then wound up the lower mount by the same amount to compensate. Generally that should not remedy any issues related to rubbing, rather it could worsen it if you shorten the strut via the lower mount to compensate for higher ride height caused by more spring preload. Shorter damper = shorter length at full bump = less clearance in your wheel well. I don't have much info about your setup to comment how you could have ended up getting rid of rubbing issues tbh. Only thing I can think of is that by winding up your spring, you have limited the available spring travel, so that your coil springs bind before the tires start rubbing your wheel arches. But that would mean you'd get thumping impacts coming through the whole chassis if you hit a big enough bump or trough, so I'm only guessing here. Coilover springs for GT86s tend to be quite short (short springs = limited spring travel to begin with) so that's a possibility. Tightening the springs does not change camber either. So the above is all I can think of right now. But just remember this: an 8kgf/mm (or 440lbf/in if you like) spring will always be an 8k spring no matter how much preload (tightening) you give. i.e. same stiffness. This applies to all but the progressive springs, which are very rarely used in coilovers, that do stiffen up as you compress them. 99% of coilover kits you get have linear (not progressive) springs, but some are falsely advertised as being progressive either by people with little knowledge or by people who aim to deceive.

BC are awesome, they just cost 3x the amount of money. They are better than rev9 though if that's what your asking. TEIN I have never heard of

Never claimed to be a mechanic 🤷‍♂️

nice :)

It’s better than not having coilovers :)

I explained that in the video. They allow you to go as low as you want, to the point that your car is undrivable lmao

@@DanDoesCar my bad lol. Skimmed the video. Thanks

@@DanDoesCar you can’t Im maxed out and ain’t tucking 😭

@@DanDoesCar you can’t Im maxed out and ain’t tucking 😭

@@CarlosLopez-em6zg but what size are your wheels

They never ended up blowing, but after 4 years they were too rusted for me to adjust to lower the car again after winter was over. So I had to get new set. I always had to lift my car for winter & for it to pass inspection. Exhaust comes with silencers, so passing inspection with that is easy. Camber and Low car was pain in my butt lmao

@DanDoesMedia did you replace with the same ones?

@@ohsnapzitzmeng I would have, but as a creator, making a video on the same thing is pointless, so I got these ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0IEzbqkLVy0.html Only did that to make a video on a different product. They are both good, but the new ones I have only had for a little less than a year, only complaint about them is they make a wierd noise going over bump, almost like its an air shock. No rattling or anything, just wierd puff noise, idk how else to explain it lol

@@DanDoesCar which ones do you prefer more?

@@ohsnapzitzmeng so far they are both similar. Rev 9 had a sportier feel to them (stiffer) the new ones are a bit more bouncy. Just depends what you prefer

I have never had any issues with these....

Spot on correct. Buying cheap coilovers is a bad move, always.

Ya I did, is their an issue with that?

I mean obviously the 500 dollar coilovers aren’t going to match up to the 2000 dollar coilovers that was clearly obvious why not have compared them to a similar price set even if they are from the higher company brand name like tein

@@Shiftyenano because I have videos on that already.... lol

lol

lol

You can adjust the damping on the coil overs.... So it depends how you set them up, so it really depends. Tightening them they still feel comfortable to me, loosening them makes it an even softer ride, but I tighten them all the way. Comparing it to a Civic or something the comfort is horrible. But you cant really get performance from a floaty suspension. Hard question to answer tbh, really depends on how you set them up

@@DanDoesCar Asking because I want to modestly lower my daily but want to retain as much comfort as possible, performance isn't important for my application. Just gathering different inputs on suspension setups.

@@tylerbooks7217 Yes you can certainly lower it and retain the comfort levels.
