The fact remains these $300 coilovers ride smoother than these $700 coilovers and fit my needs. You want $700 coilovers than bounce bad then go for it but I prefer to be able to adjust my ride stiffness for street or track. If you want track feel on your daily more power to you. Skunk2 brand new ride the same as used (I have owned both new and old).
Your all entitled to your opinions. They don’t make them wrong they don’t make them right. That makes them your own.
Back in my day you couldn't get a decent set of coilovers under 450, so hell yeah! Definitely an option for my 97 accord when I decide to go for it lol
What u say??!!! Lol now I GOTTA watch til the end. Lol I’ve NEVER heard anyone say that they feel better than a more expensive one. I appreciate the honesty.
Thank you for this demo video with actual all ranges of test drive. 🎉
Got me sold. Great video again wouldn't of missed it
🔥🤙🏼 I've been looking at coils but undecided
I can't wait for you to meet up with garage built Honda and do a collab
I've been running maxpeedingrods on my hatch for a while now just changed out the springs for stiffer ones
I’ve had experience with those MAXpeeding coilovers and you get what you pay for. Steel body, steel threads rusted up even keeping wd40 on them. I’d rather have the nicer aluminum body and thread skunk2
I had the same problem with the bead peeling off the top of my windshield on my 1990 civic wagon, found some lexical it's like caulk but more silicone and clear. Haven't had a single leak, paint ready once it sets in 48 hours too
I have a similar set on a 00 accord rides better than stock amd the dampening is fantastic! Maxpeedingrods are legit!!
The Eibach Pro Kit rides similar to the Skunk 2. Great handling on smooth roads bouncy on all others.
That damper isn’t to stiffen it it’s rebound control. Changes the size hole that lets oil go through. The skunk 2 definitely bounce but it’s a softer ride than max speeds from my experience. But ur sponsored so you have to make them look good
My old del sol si would hit almost 110 in third gear, I thought it was pretty cool, but at 130mph that thing was rickety cricket haha fun times
I like mine. I went from a similar set up but had Skunk2 drag coilovers. I like how smooth the maxpeeding coils are
Same but everyone thinks they suck because they are cheap. They really are nice.
@@TexasHondaChannel maxpeeding looks like they are trying to stay in business so I don’t think they would sell shit parts. Im sure people have had parts brake on them but at the same time im sure a 600 part might brake as well. I run maxpeeding coils with my h2b eg
Loving these comments. Makes me feel better about trying them out. I didn’t like the skunk2s I tried. I think eventually maxpeeding coils may go up once they build their reputation.
great video
Got their lowering springs that said 1 inch, the car was slammed and 3-4 coils were touching that’s how compressed they were. Sent them pics, got my money back definitely worth spending a little more for a better brand
good to know dude noice!!!
Do you have a 2yr update - still ride smooth?
There alright for the money, a little too soft for my liking. Been running them for a year now. I had to weld the strut washer or collar since they have that bad circlip design underneath to top hat. I preloaded my springs all the way up to the last thread on all 4, with damper on stiff on all 4 to get a decent ride. I prefer a stiffer ride though so that's just me and my personal opinion. Good vid! 👍
Oh and another thing... I heard they can help by offering upgraded stiffer springs like deadbeat garage did. When I tried asking there customer support, they seemed as if they never heard of a spring upgrade. Would you be able to fill us in on how to go about getting upgraded stiffer springs? Like maybe 10k or 12k, 14k, ect if there available. I know dbg had like a 16k rear spring for his drag setup on his ef but not sure what there limitations are tbh. Any helpful info would be greatly appreciated.
@@thedistance8843 any luck with that info by anychance?
I had maxspeed lasted a day out the box and the replacement was shot as well. I run the same skunk 2 and they crushed max speed. Understand the video tho your sponsor by them. But all in all good vid
I’m not just saying they are good because I’m told to. They wanted my honest opinion and I have never had a set of skunk2 ride good too stiff. Great for track only setups but idk why everyone has bad luck with them but every single set I bought work perfectly fine no issues and I beat the hell out of mine. Plus skunk2 is $700 and Maxpeedingrods $300. Sorry you
Had bad luck with yours the quality has improved over the years as well because I bought some 5yrs ago and they weren’t as nice as the newer ones I just got. The ones I bought back in the day were still good ride but not as nice as these. Same price too lol 😂
@@TexasHondaChannel I might just have to try them on my eg hatch build could have been a bad batch seen that happened before
Got me sold brother $278 for my 04 eclipse and $248 for shipping to Canada.
I tried to reach out to Maxpeedingrods about purchasing their coilovers with stiffer spring rates but they never contacted me. But they did use my email to try and charge me on paypal. Smh.
Shing shong ming mong minor 😮
Any updates on these?
My second csn go to like 90 i believe is crazy 😂
Does anyone know if the skunk2 pro st good?
Maxpeeds for the win lol... But my question is can you make a video on how to install integra seats on an 88 to 91 civic please.
My brother had his but sold his car so I can’t even show you that. Unfortunately
He sold his EF Hatch?
@@nielsei Yea don't ask me why because i wasn't there. He is in kansas right now.
@@TexasHondaChannel thats fucking stupid tbh, they were so good together
Is the maxspeeds coilover you just put in for 92-95 civic and 94-01 integra?
Yes
Oh no. I just ordered skunk 2 pros on Black Friday
I wanna know if the Skunk 2s are new or used in comparison to the MaxPeeding Rods Coilovers. If the comparison is between old vs new, then the scientific study leaves a lot to be desired.
They came on the car but even brand new skunk2 ride the same I personally have ran them and they are super stiff old or new. I prefer a softer ride for daily driving.
get bc racings Coilovers its alot better you get what you paid for, maXpeedingRods Coilovers for $300 cheap. what do you guys think?
keep up the good work
These coilovers aren’t as bad as everyone thinks and not everything is “you get what you paid for” that logic makes no sense idk where people got it in their head that cheap means bad. I don’t charge a lot to do bedline jobs (when I had my shop) but the jobs were quality work never had them flake or anything so that don’t make sense I like to help pass savings on to people and maxpeeding does too. I have ran these in the past (non adjustable damper) never had a issue with reliability or ride comfort.
kinda hard to compare them when one set is new other set is used with who knows how many miles plus the is spring rate might be difrent
Yea I get what your saying also the spring rate on the skunk2 are stiffer also the price for skunk2 is $779 and these Maxpeedingrods are $300 so for me the maxpeeding win every time because they ride great and I’m a broke joke Now the skunk2 I feel like are great for track only and these ride like brand new and I have had skunk2 pro2 before and the skunk2 brand new ride actually worse than these skunk2 because they are even stiffer. So many skunk2 fans gonna hate this video but I never drove a car with skunk2 that didn’t ride rough.
@@TexasHondaChannel i had the same suspension on my ek and it drove great the price is justified as long as they last
@@juniorgil192 yea it’s too stiff for me skunk2 I feel like for $700 the skunk2 should have damper and maybe it would be better but for stiffness and track use definitely good. I never had a issue with the Maxpeedingrods coilovers on any civic I had “yet”. It all comes to what your preference is. I’m not gonna back a product that’s junk even if they do send it for free or whatever. I really believe they have good products or I wouldn’t say it’s good. I’ll be honest on that
I almost got the first comment!
💪🏼🔥👍🏼
Skunk2 always felt so bouncy for me 🤮
Yup even brand new they ride the same as 5yrs old. Stiff... that’s only good for track use in my opinion
My buddy had these. Wouldn’t even get in the car lol. I don’t trust my life on $70 a corner.
But if they do the trick that’s cool.
Had skunk 2 on my ef sedan and they sucked. Waste of $
92-95 civic coil overs will fit on 88-91?
You'll need the matching 92-95 Civic front forks for them to work
That water mark on the right top corner "maxpeedingrod". This is obviously a bias test with a shitty car. Put it on a shock Dyno and come back.
If the skunk 2 where new would be a better test
It would be but they aren’t brand new unfortunately. Also it wouldn’t have made a difference really because I have owned skunk2 brand new out-of-the-box and they wrote the exact same as the ones that were on the car really stiff they’re made for track set ups they’re not made for daily driving if you like bouncy cars then go for the skunk juice but they’re also $779 versus $300. Also the $300 ones are really good quality and last a long time there’s many videos proving this and I’ve personally ran them in the past
@@TexasHondaChannel thanks for your honesty. Cheap doesn’t mean bad. I’ll say this from my experience;
Skunk2 - Rode in 97 Civic - Bouncy
CX Racing - Rode in 02 Lexus IS300 - Great all around!
TruHart - ‘10 Evo - Soft n bouncy
Racelands - 07 civic - soft, bouncy n terrible
F&F type 2 - 07 RSX - Amazing!
Megan EZ Street - 93 Accord - Great all around!
K sport - 93 Accord - Stiff but good. Soft setting even kinda stiff
BC Racing - Focus ST - Great all around!
So in my experience price don’t mean jack! Lol that’s a pretty good range and I remember them all. I wouldn’t doubt that maxpeedings are pretty good but I have no experience with them yet.
You can't say just cause price it's a no brainer I've heard of so many low end coil overs breaking going bad and for me number one factor is having my kids be safe when in my car there's much better if your looking for comfort and way safer
The price plus they ride good is the no brainer obviously if I was worried about price I would run the $40 sleeves on stock struts. But I’m not paying $700 for a coilover set that functions the exact same if not better and it only being $300 that’s the no brainer. Duh I have safety in mind I’m not a Biden supporter
Second gear ends at 80 mph?????? Does it have an LS 5th gear on second ??😂
It does 120 in 3rd and so on haha. It’s a HX long gear fuel economy transmission
I was going to comment on the coil overs but.... 80mph! Seriously 2nd gear!
Definitely not 80 mph on 2nd for sure
@@favianromo1990 I really don't see why he would lie about it haha
@@mattstarnes2006 yea he is definitely not lying about it 😆
@@favianromo1990 do I really have to do a video jeez y’all are something else. It ends at 80mph because it’s a long gear HX transmission
@@mattstarnes2006 I’m not lying I’ll do a video because no one seems to believe anything I say for some reason. People are ridiculous
👍👍👍🌵🌵🌵
Who does your tunes ?
his info is in the description
Trying to click on the link it doesn’t let me go through.. whats his name on FB I would highly appreciate it
Wtf!!!! How come my maxpeedingrods coiloevers ride like sh!t? Noooo. I believed in them but when I installed I hated it.
Yup I installed on my ek hatch and they are super bouncy swapped out the springs for softer ones and still ride ruff
