      That does not take much , have you seen the type of person a dealership takes on these days ? No interest and the jobs yours .Most of the so called technicians have all the gear {snapon} an no idea across the board .They are good as oil and filter changes though.And do not even get me going on bodyshops, some even after 20 years can not even use a screwdriver , and you think i am kidding

    I had the same issue not being able to get a nut on my Rev9 coilkovers on my MK4. Took a lot of fiddling to find the right combo of stock parts and rev9 parts to get the nut to fit on and the damper adjustment knob XD Good work!

  • @beluxauto5968

    I never install or offer to sell coilovers for/to customers ( warranty , complaints , disappointment ) but I do the alignments for them . You drive 185/14 so not too much issues there but when they come to me it´s a whole other scenario . I can´t comment on good or bad quality . I do however appreciate that company by supporting you .

    Bought a set of these same brand for my mk4 chassis beetle and was also previously using the JOM coilovers, gotta say i didnt end up using the maxspeed, they looked ok but the dampening didnt seem so great even compared to the used up old ones, i ended up taking out the internal parts and cutting the tubes to make them a little longer (like 1") then just got a set of standard monroe shock inserts and 225lb springs, maybe later on ill look for those adjustable damper inserts like koni

  • @cookieintune
    @cookieintune 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    You probably know this by now but this type of coilovers have a tendency to get stiffer when set up to a normal hight and they feel softer when the car runs lower , in other words the spring has a preload for what ever ride hight the brand pre determine and by adjusting the car hight we mess with that pre load making it kinda stiffer when running at normal hight , so if u Lower the car hight the load on the spring is less resulting in a smoother ride .

  • @allls1
    @allls1 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    i think cheap coilovers are pretty good if you just want to drive low (not for racing).
    i drove about 50 000 km on one set on my scirocco. its a bit harsh on body structure because we have bad roads.
    but over all i bought third set already. its a bit jumpy but i actually like stiffer ride. get better control especially on snow.

    Hi. Is there any damper adjustment to stop the suspension from being so bumpy?
    Also, as you wind up the spring, surely you're increasing the preload and making the springs shorter and stiffer, or am I missing something here?
