@@isaiahwilliams5988imagine youre holding a hoverball in your hand while your arm is resting at your side. When the hoverball goes up, so does your arm. In a car the hoverball is the tire and your arm is the control arm
@@eh.6761no, the other way around. most cars will suffer in cornering performance. you will need new control arms to bring your wheel back into a good alignment to maximize grip.
@isaiahwilliams5988 it depends on the style of suspension in the car. comments won't be able to explain it well so i recommend you search up some videos about suspension geometry.
$120??? What were they stolen? What’s the name and brand. No way you got the compressor, lines, and actual airbags for $120 and I assume you installed it yourself because paying anyone for just labor is gonna be much more than $120.
Funny thing about 3000GTs and coilovers, I had a 95’ manual with a dohc motor, dailyed it for like 4 and a half years. But for 3 and a half of those years were on a set of Maxxpeeding rods, then bad boys lasted me through junior year of highschool until i was 20. Best part is I spent 250$ on them and they never gave me a headache, knew guys with 3KGTs on race lands and teins and they were blowing theirs up once a year. I put my name on Maxxpeeding rods now because of that car I just wanted to let people know they’re not as bad as they seem, it’s just people who don’t know how to maintain and appreciate cars that make these things seem cheap and unreliable
when you open the hood, there should be a screw on top of the blinker as well as below it. to drain the fluid, firts open the top screw and then the bottom screw. when the fluid is drained, you want to close to bottom screw and insert the new fluid via the top screw using a syringe. some car models may require the blinker to be removed.
There is a cap on the engine that says oil it should say blinker but if its old paint will be worn and it will say oil. Remove that cap put as much water as possible u are good to go.
There’s is Stance cups which are basically coil overs and bags combined. Giving you the stiffness adjustability and the ability to still track the car of coils and the ride height adjustability of air bags
Best option in my opinion is a cup kit. Get a nice 1.5/2 inch drop, stuff but still compliant for daily usage, won’t blow out like the spring upgrade on the stock strut. A touch less than coilover kit. Truth is, so many people running coilovers never get them setup correctly…ever and I’ve seen 100s of setups.
Use the springs, and set it up correctly. Leave it the same all the time. Nothing is better than static done correctly. They make correct shocks for it. You have to redo your allignment. Its not just $600
Sort of. I just got bilstein b8's, which are slightly shorter than my stock shocks, and paired them with lowering springs. It cost around the same as coilovers, but without the mantinence that comes with them. I've never had coilovers since i was never interested in suspension, but I have heard people say that you probably don't want them on a daily driver.
@isaiahwilliams5988 From what I've heard and read, it depends on the materials they're made with and how you drive. High-quality coilovers are generally rebuildable and have service intervals. If you track them, you'll have to have them rebuilt more often. Cheaper ones aren't, but they're cheap for a reason. Regular struts are the better choice in that case. Fortune Auto has a kit for my car and recommends a rebuild every 60k miles. And what this guy didn't mention is that you need an alignment whenever you adjust your coilovers. This is why I never like messing with suspension stuff. I still need an alignment after I swapped my swaybar. 😑
@@UGFluffyTurtleCorrect me if I'm wrong, there are two types of coilover that i know, one comes with adjustable soft/hard dampening, one is without which is not for daily drive because of the stiffness, I have friends that use coilover with damper adjustment on their car, and they said it is comfortable for daily drive.
@xelkg.j3425 I think I looked into those, but, to me, non-adjustable=oem replacements or "affordable" replacements. Unless you wanna have a drop-in and drive strut. I think, when it comes to street, it comes down to spring rates and overall adjustability. I really don't know too much about the specifics of coilovers, only enough to get where i want. A good number of people in my cars community preferred lowering springs, and a lot of people recommended avoiding coilovers on street cars. A lot of people did say air suspension, when done right, is worth it, though.
Coilovers and airbags don’t have the offset to cancel shock stiction. The struts will not last long. Stick with stock setups. A proper job will need custom suspension.
Genuine question-I live near the top of a mountain with winding roads. VERY winding roads, like half of it is basically u-turns. Which is the best option for my 2013 Dodge Charger Pursuit that is least likely to make driving more dangerous, including in winter?
Eibach low springs + shocks: okay Eibach low springs + coils: won't work Eibach does sell coilover springs that can used on coilovers, you just gotta find the right diameter and height. Also match spring stiffness or +/- 2.
