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
Was looking for this, don't get it why he says you have to spend 1500$ on coilovers when there are much cheaper options that works pretty much just as well 🤦🏼♂️ make it sound like modding your car have become a rich kids game...

lowering springs (sport springs) and a good pair of shocks. Too many people buy cheap coilovers which a good spring and shock is better than, and don't need a good full coilover anyways
Mashallah my dad is in the financial position to have fancy cars with air suspension and I can definitely say it’s worth it with how smooth the ride is. I remember when I was younger when we would go over those anti bridge buckling spaces from heat expansion on the bridge and it felt like regular road vs when it was in a car with no air suspension it was a huge bump
btw, KW offers in combination with the Coilovers something called HLS, Hydraulic Lift System. It is almost like an air suspension but with the better driving characteristics of a KW V3 or V4
There is actually a very much overlooked third option that gets overlooked a lot. Ground control makes a coilover conversion for aftermarket struts that give you a somewhat in-between coilover and strut/spring combo. Allows for an adjustable spring perch for ride height and you can use it with adjustable dampening struts or not. Allows you to use more road compliant dampers with the adjustability of a coilover. Coilovers are terrible on a daily where I live so I go this route for most street cars I have owned.
the issue with that is when you lower a car you need to up the spring rate to keep it off the bumpstops, factory struts are not valved for increases in spring rates. there is nothing about a coilover that makes it stiff or bad on a daily, it is simply a shock and spring with an adjustable spring perch. if they have terrible ride quality its an issue with the valving and overall design. you can setup coilovers to ride however you like
@@arcanevoid9199 ground control includes an appopriately rated spring to accompany the perch and you would have to use an aftermarket strut like koni of bilstein b8 if you wanted to lower the ride height. Some coilovers come out of the box with spring rates that are way too stiff for a daily driver and others come with more compliant ones, almost no coilovers give ride quality like an oem strut does. You would need to custom order and possibly request special valving for it where my solution provides everything with no special parts and they perform well at the track and give a compliant ride on the street too. I have literally setup hundreds of suspensions on both dedicated race cars and street machines/weekend warrior cars. Some coilovers are still too stiff for some people even on the softest dampening setting. I always give our customers a little quiz when they are shopping for suspension and depending on what they tell me I will advise them accordingly. I can tell just by what they say if they are going to not like coilovers or not.
I think performance lowering springs and upgraded shocks is the way to go unless you plan to constantly adjust suspension. Ive had $600 truhart coilovers before and they rode great looked good and handled well, however over time woth pothiles and other things, the metal spring seat was bending uncomfortably. Ive only adjusted them while setting the car up btw, i wouldve been fine with just lower springs and upgraded shocks for the same price. Also less to worry about since you dont have to measure and allign every corner of the car.
remember to actually check yourself if lowering a car is a good thing. there is a point where its feels a bit better vs beating on the bumpstops. also invest in roll bars, always makes a much bigger difference
I rode my car on bags or 1.5 years and my suggestion would be to just don't. The ride quality becomes so horrible it feels like you have installed bricks instead of a functioning suspension. Just get coilovers. Do not cut your springs, do not get shorter springs, do not get your springs pressed. Get coilovers.
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.
Gotta pair the lowering springs with the correct shocks (still under $600 for both). For example: Skunk2 lowering springs with skunk2 sport shocks. Works well for daily driving, feels smooth and comfortable.
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
And if you wanna go ultra boujee, there's hydroshox. 7 inches of ride height adjustability without affecting the spring rate AND no compressor. Also less likely to leak, so they'll stay at whatever height you set them for months on end.
unless your build is suposed to be a show car you don't really need bags its better to go with coil overs or some lowering springs if you daily your car.
@@bastik.3011 I guess, as far as the car only runs inside a flat circuit, it may make you go faster, but even so prepare for some fireworks like the F1 does
@@lazarom9998 Dude what is so hard to understand that lowering doesn't mean it lays flat on the ground. You cant compare that to a F1 car. What are you even talking about
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
If you ask me if you actually drive your car just get remotely adjustable coilovers. Basically work as quick as air, maybe a bit slower, and have all the upsides of them
You can get lowering springs for less than 100 dollars most of the time and coilovers can run as cheap as 200 dollars just so everyone is aware, although it is better to spend more money and get a better product, you don’t need 1300 dollars to get coilovers depending on what you’re driving
Since the last part got cut off, you’ll need an air compressor, an air tank, the electronic valve system, remote, and need to run lines to each bag. Not only that but you’ll need an alignment specialist with plenty of patience and expertise on bagged suspension to get that perfect flush fitment at different heights.
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.
Hey, exactly what i'm tackling right now. 2 questions. . 1) If one front strut is blown, do i have to replace both front struts? 2) My vehicle is riding low in the rear. Should i replace the Springs or the shocks?
What caused the front strut to fail? If it’s an old strut and it failed of material fatigue I would change both. Ensures same quality of suspension on both sides. If one strut went out due to material fatigue to second one will most likely follow soon.
@@GrillerRohde Not sure. Is a 2008. Expecting some parts to fail. But i notice that it looks wet when i pull the sleeve down. Mechanic stated that it's blown.

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.

A lot of people did say air suspension, when done right, is worth it, though.
Buy H&R springs and pair with bilstien b8 series shock absorbers. Retains nearly factory ride quality and is still cheaper than junk bc coilovers. If you really want coilovers buy once cry once and get the good ones like bilstien pss9 series
Just buy struts that are either adjustable or made for shorter springs if you want a decent ride for your daily and/or your local infrastructure (roads) are shit.
