how would this check be done on an ae86 with divorced spring in the rear? what is the order to check bump stop, ride height and spring preload? greetings and thank you very much!

Needs more aero.

Learned a lot of good info about this company through this video and i’m really happy I bought a set of fastroad coilovers for my grc. Really looking forward to having them on my car in the near future especially after watching geese’s video

I just saw your company featured on Savagegeese. I see why they reached out to you guys. When I'm ready to upgrade/replace my OEM suspension, I will be trying out your product. I really like the idea of keeping the NVH down while increasing performance for a weekend warrior. You even offer a rebuild option to further keep costs down in the future. 👍

It's worth noting that after following these steps, you should ensure you have non-negative preload and install helper springs if necessary.

So doing it this method, will ensure nothing contacts bodywork at any ride height adjustment?

Dang, I thought I was installing the perches with the 12mm nut where the bump stop was. Good thing I looked at this video first before dropping the jack! Am I just letting the perch chill on top of the springs then it sounds like??

Does this method apply to high end coilovers?

That EF Hatch tho. I need one in my life again..😂

Great explanation on this subject! Can you complete this excellent video with a final ride height adjustment?

This is a great video and shows that spring collar adjustment is the way to adjust ride height (what many coilover companies tell folks NOT to do...set preload at xmm and leave it alone) on these adjustable body coilovers, not the body adjustment (what you call "bump stop height" in the video) like many coilover companies DO tell people to do. Great explanation and good finger pointer!

FINALLY a great video to reference on how to properly set "fully threaded" coilovers! So much trash on the market that use preload as a crutch for incorrectly spec'd shock dimensions or spring rates. Thank you!

I don’t speak for them but I believe what he means is they’re not running as much low speed compression. You can have two shocks with the exact same high speed compression and then raise the low speed compression threshold on one and that will make that shock digressive. The second one is typical for a track car or smooth surfaces where you’re trying to control body roll and only allowing suspension to move once it meets the threshold. Downside is every bump, crack and tar strip in the road that doesn’t meet the threshold is much harsher which is why off-road shocks are typically linear. After having a softer spring rate setup with digressive compression shocks in the past when I went shopping for coilovers on my next vehicle I stayed away from venders selling digressive setups as they just use it as a buzzword since it’s in racing everyone thinks they need it even though their city street are not paved like Leguna secca. So I bought ones with firmer rates and linear curves and been much happier. I don’t think Annex was out when I was shopping but going through their videos they seem more a no BS company and it sounds like he’s eluding to too much digression a bad thing for most applications. It can also lead to problems on the rebound end too on fast ripple bumps as the suspension will pack down and get firmer and firmer through each hit.

can we get a video on divorce shock and spring adjustments?

Grant when will we see a ND MX5 Club Spec Pro application?

Can’t wait to put them to the test!

Intriguing

These look incredible! Definitely saving for a set of these for my Civic.

Honda Element SC 07-11 for Camera Chase truck application is what i need what do you have

Is your fremont location open to the public for in-person consultation?

I found this video thanks to @speedacademy; thanks for providing a clear and straightforward “how-to” regarding bump stop adjustment. 🙏🏼

Gracias

Hola mi nonbre es Edwin Andrade y me gustaría saber si estos coilovers le hacen al toyota corolla ke70

Can I REPLACE divorced suspension with true coil over?

Great video. This makes me feel even more confident about my choice to go with Annex coilovers. You guys care about the exact things I’ve always wanted in my suspension, but haven’t ever been able to find for an accessible price. So hyped to receive my set once they’re finished being built! 😁

Got the cascam plates for my 1st gen celica, but the funny thing is I don’t have coilovers 😂. Need to save up and do that consultation soon.

Took a tour of their facility when I still drove an 86. Really good products if you want something that lasts and is rebuildable- especially if you live in an area with harsh roads. Be honest with them when your get your suspension setup. They understand people like curvy roads of high elevation. Hopefully they change their mind regarding the RX8, I'd love to have a set over something like HKS or Ohlins.

A set of Annex coilovers has been on my AE86's to do list for along time, this video just gives me another reason to do it sooner!

Sick video! Definitely inspired me to want to go annex. Thoroughly detailed with the information that usually tips the tide in deciding which brand to go with. Do you guys offer rebuild services?

Great explanation of the characteristics. I found this out the hard way on my MkVGTI track car. Put too high a rate on a divorced set up and had my rear floating all over the place on turns. Went with an outboard coil-over and was able to go with a lower spring rate with more control.

How do you check this with inverted shocks?

Thank you for making the video. I’d never have thought to take the spring off.

He should have said. Because physic dictates it should base on the suspension frequency in Hz you which to target to maintain flat ride.

Why wouldn’t you want to blow off compression pressure during high piston speed events (such as hitting a manhole cover or bridge joints) with your street-focused coilovers? Been considering Annex coilovers, but the KW V3s I currently have are fairly linear, and I’m not exactly satisfied with the way they feel. I can soften up their low speed compression and rebound, but that doesn’t help when they’re still so crashy and harsh over sharp road imperfections.

I can vouch, my wife doesn’t mind the ride at all in my integra. Half of my rattles in the car are gone even when in neutral. It’s shocking how much acoustics and vibration a spring transmits. I could feel the texture of the road before because the shocks basically had no damping for small impacts. The annex are not always in motion like cheaper coils. Going from racelands to this, night and day. Honestly too, the racelands weren’t even bad, they just were a bit under valved and some of the materials had some undesirable traits like acoustics mostly. Rides comfier with a stiffer setup now, performs better on corners, literally better in every category.

What's the name of that blue?

If you're into stance then True Rears will be the only way to make your car lower if you're having issues. Hope this could help!

I wish these instructions were included in my instuctions from Annex :p oh well, back on jacks it goes :)

@3:46 - when bumpstop engages too early and tyres doesn't touch any thing. Is that a bad thing? If bumpstop engages too late (that is not enaged at all) and tyres still doesn't touch anything. Is that a bad thing?

informative

Stock internals?

Sir need the shocks set front and rear bro how much bro

3:29 "Fair warning: I set the bump stop height correctly on this vehicle ... and my tire is not contacting any of the bodywork" ... proceeds to show a fender gap that can be measured in fists 😅

Any plans for the EF/CRX platform?

Are you aware that bc racing has a set that can be mounted upside down for this setup?

Thank you for this info

also.. if you need a sooner bumpstop engagement, you can always add packers so you dont have to adjust the ride height.

Also, any other videos you have for the ae86 is appreciated and things to consider upgrading/correcting when making the upgrade to your suspension. I have bad tie rod ends and will look at the suggestion you gave from battlegarage. Thanks again 😁!!

Thank you for all of the great content and products. I will be placing an order this week for my ae86. Hopefully I can pick it up from the warehouse. Have a good one
