I have a protege5 and I got the fronts done in 3 hours gonna aim for an hour for the rear tomorrow. First time too for me. 15 isn’t bad though especially if newer to mechanics
One tip, if you take a control arm loose that has a bushing with a bolt through it, don’t tighten the bolt until the suspension is at the angle it would be with the car on the ground. Like if it’s parallel with the ground when the car is on the ground, don’t tighten the bolt while the suspension is in full droop(like up in the air). Otherwise you will put the bushings in a constant “twist” and they’ll wear out faster.
I think must of us might be coursing all over the entire process since the first nut bolt we have to remove from the car..beyond that really straight and accurate video...you guys are awesome Fitment .... Central America says Hi
I feel like this is simple and there’s so much how to for coil overs and it’s pretty straight forward just remove bolts and the springs and the shocks and install coil over and bolt it down
It’s just as easy, the struts go in and out just like oem. you just need a spare jack to let the rear control arm and spring down easy. I managed to put coilovers on my mk6 Jetta with an independent rear suspension aka divorced with two oem vw jacks. You just need patience
@@alexbueno5815 thank you. That makes sense. I am putting in some BC's on my 2018 Camry and my only question is the spring preload on a divorced setup. I have seen a bunch of videos on it but the Camry is a bit different then say a Subie as far as the setup goes from what I have noticed. I will be giving it a go today do cross your fingers. 🤞
I got my first set of coilovers in the mail today. One is already installed. I've done stock suspension on MK2/3 Volkswagens so many times I just know how now lol.
I mean, why not? You can coat almost anything. So why not your springs, they are painted like a car and if you can coat a cars paint you can clearly coat painted springs.
Unbind the bushings. Need to tighten the bolts with load on the suspension not when its hanging. Watch gears and gasoline K Swapping My Honda Civic - Episode 3 @12:00. Control arm bushings have a toothed sleeve molded in with it. Thats why you fight the control arms trying to get the coilovers in or out. If it has a free floating sleeve like in some aftermarket parts, then it is not needed. I ask everyone i know if they unbind their bushings, they have no idea what i'm talking about.
Would be cool to do a chose wheels and tires since you have a lot. Show how it looks when you chose perfect fit and maybe a little off so people know how to look out for that 😬
Tittled for dummies, but didn't point out the actual pinch weld jack points or the the ones on the subframe. You guys also didn't removed the pre-load on the suspension bushings. The car will sit as much as half an inch higher when set for a 13.25 ride height. This is 101 coming from vendors. Going to have do redo your work before this car goes for an alignment. You should have also provided the motion ratios so people can accurately adjust the shock body height to get exactly the ride height they want in one adjustment. As we know, the left and right side don't sit the same for the same measurement on the shock body.
I feel all made this video especially for me…..idk how to feel right now, not sure if i should be happy or try an report this vid for callin me a crash dummy 😂🤣😂
Should be announcing it within the next couple of days however, we will post on our socials prior to the announcement as well giving everyone a heads up!
Thought about looking at a different set? Have you taken a look at any other brands on our site for a different idea? -Edgar www.fitmentindustries.com/store/suspension
Fitment with the ND, very nice. Still want to try one, had a 15 NC3 GT for about 3 years. Sold it for financial reasons just before the Rona really sank in, and found a very gently used 91 NA for ~$7500, 65k original miles. Not quite as pressed to drive an NB however, never really cared for how it looked compared to the NA. Side note, and completely off topic; if anyone in the Aurora/Parker/Centennial area (or within 50 miles of) of CO has a fifth gen ('92-'95) Civic hatchback, is in decent shape/milage (175k limit) and is looking to sell for a _reasonable, lol please_ price, hit me up. Like, $10k *at most.* Yeah, I know. Trust me lmao I know. But I promise not to molest it.
Did we miss any tips?
Want your ride to sit as well as this MX-5? Find ST Coilovers here!

If you are doing a mustang, start with the rear. The front is significantly more time consuming, even compared to other cars.
Did i miss the part with torque specs? Lol
0 fitment for 2010 lincoln mks ...
Just bought coilovers/wheels for my nd Miata a few days before this vid came out perfect timing!!!!
Can you do a video on unsticking a frozen coilover collar??
i love how this came out literally two days after i spent 15 hours outside in 105 degree heat putting coilovers on my Acura TSX for the first time :)
Oh shit! Another TSX owner! I have a 2010 TSX V6, I just bought TEIN Flex Z's and i'm about to install them in a couple of days, what about you?
I got a 07 tsx and looking to get the same pair for mines
15 hours 😂
06 tsx 👋
15 hour install 😬

I already know how to install coil overs I just like watching FI
This dudes video are so relaxed and chill, should be be your go to guy always.
I always enjoy watching his videos after watching Dakotas just to bring that chaotic energy back down to normal levels
There is nothing relaxed and chill about doing the same job on a '90s Civic lol

Thanks for the vid, also it is good to re-index the bolts where there are rubber bushings in the suspension after changing the suspension geometry
I love this guy! He's so chill, not coked out yelling at us🤝
Thank you for using an ND first time the ND gets some love
Day 120.5 of asking Fitment Industries to bring back Wheel History.
I feel like this is simple and there’s so much how to for coil overs and it’s pretty straight forward just remove bolts and the springs and the shocks and install coil over and bolt it down
What about rear coilovers with a divorced sprint and shock? That would be a good one to talk about.
It’s just as easy, the struts go in and out just like oem. you just need a spare jack to let the rear control arm and spring down easy. I managed to put coilovers on my mk6 Jetta with an independent rear suspension aka divorced with two oem vw jacks. You just need patience

Step one: buy them
Step two: hire someone
Step three: done
You forgot step 0: have money 💰

bruh this job is so easy😂😂 build it dont buy it

Ya he lost me at spring compressor, will just pay a shop lol
Should've done the tongue thing right after the "pair of nuts" part 🤣🤣
You guys must of known I just bought coilovers from you. Thanks for the info!
Need more ND videos + those valenti taillights 🔥
Would it be ok to ceramic coat your springs for easier cleaning like you would for your wheels/brake calipers?
I mean, why not? You can coat almost anything. So why not your springs, they are painted like a car and if you can coat a cars paint you can clearly coat painted springs.
good question. I think its a bad idea bc your springs are constantly in motion going up and down unlike the face of a wheel.
Please do more videos on the ND miata
I want to see you guys bag a 99 s500.... THAT would be cool!!
Seriously if only this dropped a few days ago 😤😂
why am i watching this, i am not even old enough to drive.
Crazy how this came out the day I recieved my coils on fitment industries

Thanks for this. Now I might have the balls to finally slap the coilovers I bought 6 months ago for my bug and 2g eclipse.

Installing the same st set in my na miata this weekend. Hope it goes as easy as this 😂
I like contents like this :D
I was hoping you would pick a vehicle thats more difficult to change the coilovers.
Did you guys mention the torque specs? Did I miss that part?
Hi, is it not necessary to follow the torque values per workshop manual? It seemed like you were just maxing it out. Please advise.
Are those Valenti rearlights on the miata?
Yesss. You can find them for ND Miatas now. Plug and play; they look dope in person.
Do you have how to adjust ride height for dummies???
What are those tail lights? Look super clean

What about the divorced rear coils is that any different to install?
Why you had to transfer over the top hats?
Fancy clamp? You mean a bungee or a zip tie?
No corner balancing?

Yea most of us dummies dont have a shop let alone a lift . i have a gravel driveway and a 100 dollar tool kit from autozone 🤣
