What suspension setup do you prefer ? Drop a comment below! Don't forget to check out www.fitmentindustries.com for all of your suspension needs
Im just curious to know the mods on the fI e30
You guys should make a video on different spring rates and damping and how different rates can be applicable to different driving styles aka street/touge/auto cross/track/drift
.. I'd love to see you guys put together kits for specific cars for specific applications .. like let's say an early model Nissan 350Z . What wheel , tire , suspension combo would you suggest that doesn't require any fender modifications ? Things like that .
Considering going air ride on my R33 GTR. Change my mind?

who else is literally about to buy suspension ??
Just installed my springs and shocks
KW V2 for bmw e36 is backordered till August 😥
I was and wheels too.
I did lots of photoshop to see more or less how my car will look before I start buying parts.
My Rx7 is still bone stock.
I guess I'm still glad that I haven't. If I do and I will, I won't be able to get up my driveway lol
Was about to pull on rsr coils
I just placed my order yesterday morning lol
As cmon man my coilovers just shipped
Bro i just bought lowering springs this morning😂😂😂
What did you get and what car ?
SimonSez83 tein coilovers for my genesis coupe
Just refuse the shipment
Troy Denbow it was a joke about the title I knew everything already but good looks😂
Good to see you’re back in the studio🤙🏼

Ive got a 1.5inch lowering spring on my mk7 gti, it gets rid of the fender gap without lowering the car too much. With 18x8s it is a basic setup but it looks beautiful 👌
Just ordered some bc coilovers from you guys much love and support 👌

And check the forums. I didn't know I needed Spindles for my coilovers. Thank you fitment and megan for helping me sort it out
Love your videos guys. just an idea. Why not a video of harder and softer suspension difference. And what it does to the car by having front hard and back soft or the other way around? I'm interested to see. Cheers guys.💪
So I have a 97 Honda Accord Vtec 5 speed manual and have been trying to look into a suspension for off-road use. Right now with the stock suspension I am fitting a 215/70r15 yokahoma all terrain tire. I’d like the same ride height but more give when hitting bumpers. Any suggestions?
i ditched the civic x ADS for coilovers. never regret it.
Awesome video! For those VW Jetta MK4 enthusiasts out there (that have experience with various coilovers), what is the best suspension system for a daily drive VW JETTA GLI 2004 2.8L VR6 24v (BDF) six speed. H&R, Bilstein, KW, Koni or KSport, or perhaps a mix and match, or something else? I want quality materials, able to go low (at least 2") and not too stiff. Any opinions out there? Please reply to my message.
What's a good lowering spring for an 04 maxima and a strut with the spring?
What should I expected when installing bc br coilovers ? What do i need ?
Great Video
Great video!
My preference for suspension setups differ tremendously in conjunction with the type of build I’m going towards. I have had thought of building a touring style mini truck, setup in gt fashion with in board cantilever coilover setup
Hi.. i'am newbie in automotive. Any recommendation brand for Shock (tein , eibach or else) to make my car suspension become more soft?
What’s the best coilvers for a daily ?
coilovers all the way baby💙
Are coilovers nowadays more comfortable/better than stock shock absorbers on eg/ek civics?
Cool cool cool, but what about lift spacers?
Gonna be getting BC Racing Br coil overs for my A3
Just bought some yellow speed coil overs for veloster turbo. Can’t wait. 🤩
Eww Hyundai, go away..
I basically got a brand new car for low $$. Now I can take what I saved and add all the fun things. It’s my car and I like it.
Chase Austin hey man, that’s all that matters!
this guy I know blew his motor, be careful. I don't know what exactly he did but I think he over boosted.
Really in need of some coilovers and wheels for my supra. Perfect timing for this vid!
FI Noti Gang

for a b5 s4 which handles better bc coils, st’s or vogtlands?
Need some more driver to driver videos ASAP !
What would be best for a daily driver?
This channel is just like donut media started differently but the content is goooood so I easily see 3 M + subs in the future . Love the content guys !!!!!
I've got the lowering spring m performance springs on my F80 and am really satisfied with it. It pretty much rides as comfortable as stockk and gives me the ability to adjust the drop easily.
Never heard of m performance lowering springs and lowering springs that are adjustable buddy.
@@alexinadon7999 Bit late, but there are adjustable springs. E.g. KW offers them. Ofc you are not adjusting the spring itself but you get a threaded bit like on coilovers.
I use ceika performance coilovers with a sport setting and double front springs. Love em.
Thinking of getting those, they offer a lot of customization, what spring setting did you pick ?
@@dandan864 i got the sport setup. They have a standard setup, sport, and a rally spring set up. They also offer a dual front spring and adjustable top plates if your vehicle can use it. They also come in different colors you can choose from. They have been amazing so far
i got the 'BC racing RM'
theyre inverted mono-tube dampeners...or "upside-down"
bought airlift a few weeks ago but haven't tried to install yet... Kind of nervous to DIY XD
How much would you expect to pay for lowering springs??? ik they are cheap af beside coil overs but it’s all I can afford
This looks like a great thing to do as I wouldn't object to reducing the body roll in turns but I worry doing these type of mods on my daily would just ruin my back over time.
you won’t get reduced body roll as much with coilovers as if you got aftermarket sway bars and front/rear strut bars. those will do much more than coilovers for the price of each. you can get a full set of sway + strut bars for the same price you’d pay for coilovers that would give you the same relative performance boost, but coilovers mess with the ride feel like bumps and springiness, sway bars don’t do that, and strut bars make bumps less noticeable. if you can find sway/strut bars for your car, i 100% recommend doing that first
@@koifish1le996 Thank you. I have been looking. My car is just a stock 18 TLX. It comes with some pretty good sway bars but people say that after market solid rather than the stock hollow ones may help.
Just dont be the guy who chops OE springs instead of juat getting lowering springs
Still is the only option for some cars
th-cam.com/video/vjYX2PbSIUE/w-d-xo.html
I've seen chopped and heated oem springs...
Untrue hydraulics and magnetic suspension both offer option to lay frame and then raise ride height.
Just bought br series bc coilovers for my Honda Fit
I appreciate how you can make tons of videos on horse that's been beaten to death
th-cam.com/video/vjYX2PbSIUE/w-d-xo.html
are TruHarts some good coilovers for the price for 03 civic hatch si? (600$)
Excellent video. Objective, informative and very educational. I really need your knowledge on the matter of suspension, tires and wheels. I have a 2006 Nissan 350z V6 3.5L VQ35DE Automatic and I want to upgrade the look starting with the exterior by installing shocks, tires and wheels. I have the tires: 2 front 245/40ZT18 (93W) and 2 rear 265/35ZT19 (94W). Could you recommend which wheels (measurements) to put with these tires that do not make the tires stand out from the fenders and that they can be seen both in the back and in the front, straight. Thanks. Obviously and taking advantage of the video, some shock absorbers for daily use and some track and speed occasionally. Thanks. Can you give me a link from you, specifically with the rims that you recommend and the shock absorbers.
Check out our gallery! Lots of incredible examples in there with specs so you can get a visual on what you're looking for!
@@FitmentIndustries This suspension that is in your store: BC Racing BR Series Coilovers (V35/Z33) D-107-BR, I like it for my 350z.
The model of wheels that I like are these: Advan Racing TC4, but they have to be 2 of 18 and 2 of 19 that adapt to the tires that I already have.
Give me a specific link of the wheels: 2 front 18x9.5 and 2 rear 19x10.5 that fit 245/40ZT18 (93W) and 265/35ZR19 (94W) tires...I have them, they were given to me. Approximate price of the 4 wheels $2,500. Very good quality resistant within the price range. And what do you think of this combination? Thanks.
I would like when mounting the wheels and tires on the 350z to not stick out of the fenders and to be vertically straight.
I appreciate the help you can give me. Thanks.
Great educational video! I have a 2005 Lexus LS430 and I want to get some coilovers that will provide the same or similar luxurious ride that the car originally came with. I don't want to lower the car, I want the same height as originally came with. Would appreciate your suggestions as to the best (not most expensive!) conversion coilovers for me. Thanks!
Honestly the BCs would do the trick if you want some low, they’re good quality and I’ve enjoyed them! -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries Go with the BC Br Series
Is there lowering springs for a 2nd gen gs300 anyone knows about?
I have a 2009 Toyota Matrix s AWD. I’ve been looking to get Coilovers for it but literally every brand I’ve found that makes Coilovers for it don’t include the AWD model. What would y’all recommend I do/get?
Shoot us an email at shop@fitmentindustries.com and we’ll see what we can find for your ride!
What car is in the back with the ccvs?
BC-BR or Silver Neomax for 05 Chrysler 300 limited ( lcar will be lowered)
I guess I'm on the market for a 4th kind of suspension, my OEM has worn out and I'm looking for a slight upgrade, perhaps better handling than OEM but still keep the ride quality good. Mechanics are suggesting KYM and Monroe struts, those doesn't inspire confidence. Any path you recommend me taking?
I suggest coilovers!
I need a CO that let’s me adjust camber and damping/rebound BUT doesn’t lower the car at all because I would not be able to use my driveway.
has anyone tried the Intrax suspension for the f80 m3
Just got my BC racing coilovers yesterday for my E90 325i
Let’s go! 🤘
lowering springs.....best bang for my buck
Ordered eibach springs yesterday...
I have a 19 honda accord sport and was wondering whats the recommended height it can be lowered too? I want it lowered but also be able to go over a normal speed bump....say in a parking lot lol
Then whats the point of being lowered... If you’re that concerned you can just hit the speed bump af an angle or not get lowered
What about D2 Coilovers???? I had BC Racing on before as you would see on my channel but after selling those I’m thinking of going D2.. what you think??????? 🤔
Price per performance.... youre downgrading but only by a couple notches. BC rule the coil over market because of price/performance ratio. They’re awesome. I’m not even running them and know how good they are. I’m on Truhart StreetPlus coils because it fitted my budget and I’m not mad at all. They’ve withstand nasty potholes and rough roads and imma keep on riding these until they blow. Then I’ll upgrade to BC
Ive got a 2001 MB CL500 and currenly have strutmasters coilovers. I want to be able to adjust the damper as well as ride height, but cant adjust anything. What brand would you recommend from your company?
Bc
Can yas do a video on the Lexus GS350?
Kinda sad how the Cruze I think would look nice in the aftermarket but not to many options to customize them
I'm planning on obtaining some Godspeed Mono Maxx coilovers or BCRacing. Monomaxx is a tad more cheap, like 150 dollars less, and BC's is almost hitting the 1k mark. What's the go to choice?
BC has my vote. I love them on my daily
The notification gave me a heart attack because I just bought my first suspension a week ago.
th-cam.com/video/vjYX2PbSIUE/w-d-xo.html
Plannng on actually running lowering springs on my BRZ!
If you’re going for cheap coils I’d go TEIN.
Isn't it bad to leave lowering springs in for a long while, that's what I heard from a friend but thought I'd ask what you guys think
@@user-fw3sw7qx1u eventually you may need to replace and upgrade the struts. Depends on a lot of things that the engineers didn't have in mind when they designed these cars for public roadways. That's why many people just go for coilovers.
Don't pussy out.
@@Treaxvour I'm fairly new to modifications so I'm learning from others like you so I appreciate you insight. I do plan on moving into coilovers. I'm currently on rsr spring and have been for the last year, I've been looking at eibach and bc racing... For the struts is that something inclusive in the coilovers system or is that something separate of them. Thank you in advance
I’m trying to get D2 Coilovers
Say! Where are the parts for the Buick Lucerne model?
I just hope Fitment sends me my BC’s soon :/ I ordered a week ago and it still says my order is in progress. Great video as always !
Jayme Fortune gotcha! Yeah this is literally my first part that I’ve ordered ever so I had no idea. Hopefully I can get it asap
Yeah man I ordered BC’s like 4 weeks ago from them and still nothing
I got lowering springs because of the price. It rides really well but now i wanna adjust it(lower it)😂 wish i d have bought some coilovers at first.
Happens to the most of us including me. Bought lowering springs, didn’t ride them for long (
Just got coils cause i got them for free. But imma buy coils when i have enough money :)
I’m getting bc racing br series with the extreme low option Should i get swift springs are? Are they worth it? What are the differences?
Swift springs are 100% worth it
Just bought full coilover set for bmw335i
Bro i watched two videos about suspension form you channel and u dont answer the most crucial thing. The best way to get more ride quality. For example i have an MRS 2003, i want thew smoothest ride possible, better than oem, i want to feel like im riding on clouds. which one is best for me? coilover or Air?
Air suspension will be the best option if you want a smooth magic carpet like ride quality, but it also affects your weight distribution since air suspension system is heavy af and the airbag is sometimes prone to leak
My car only has one option on FI, that is air so it'll be a good amount of time before I can upgrade that
For my infinity Q50 2021 witch coilovers you recommend??
BC Racing! 🤘
I got seized coilovers and my fitment is bunk cuz it won’t budge . Any solutions ? Worst case I’ll just buy new ones. 2001 miata on Megan coilovers
Dip them in vinegar. Like the whole thing for like a day
if i order some coilovers, do i put quantity as 4 or just one ? i wanna use it on all 4 wheels, you guys understand what i’m asking?
Just 1 set
I like how a cup kit is never mentioned when it comes to lowering a car which you can also adjust dampening in. Lowering springs are the only thing that are ever mentioned.
I like titles like this, I just imagine a person clutching a coil spring above their head screaming “I’ve bought dampers before and I’m not afraid of doing it again!!!” :P (wuv u peeps xo)
I was just on your website looking for coil overs... are you spying on us too?
Ordered coils on Tuesday .. oooo
Gecko coilovers a good its mid range but performance is good
Yow .. any help .. 2007 Toyota Corolla s.. just need some new struts. Nothing crazy .. shy brands, that'd close to OEM
Don’t you have to buy a camber control arm to use lowering springs ? To get a good alignment?
Not necessarily but it doesn’t hurt if you want that fine control of camber!
Fitment Industries gotcha thanks 🙏🏽
Fitment Industries are mostly for the American market as I'm an Aussie and Fitment Industries don't have anything that suits my car which is a 1994 Holden VR Commodore Sedan.
i have an audi s5 2018 with regular sport suspension and it is so stiff and bumpy. i wish i got the adaptive suspension. Which will be my best route to get a more comfortable ride? springs or coilovers?
Coilovers, you’ll be able to adjust damping and make sure she rides how you want! -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries Thanks Edgar! Just curious about one more thing..
Does this mean my car has regular springs and dampeners i cannot adjust?
I want to lower my 2000 gs300 around 1 inch but my budget is about $500. im looking at either the Rev9 hyper street 2 or the the Tein street Advanced. The rev9 option is $500 dollars and comes with top hats and better features and the Tein do not. Is Rev9 a decent brand or should i bite the bullet and go with the Tein for $100 more?
Sooooo how did it go???
@@MRMAN-wb1tv i ended up getting some used tein flex z off of Craigslist lol
Yall NEVER talk about hydraulic suspension
Probably because good fitment generally doesnt apply to lowriders
MrMinerNiner yeah its kinda hard to get bad fitment when you are not even 1 mm over the ground. Pluss hydraulics are not really a fitment thing
Someone I follow, kurt had a civic coupe on hydros and had better fitment than most bagged cars I’ve seen. Trust me give his insta a look @kuxrt_ this proves hydraulic suspension can be for fitment especially in the uk there’s a lot
th-cam.com/video/vjYX2PbSIUE/w-d-xo.html
Question: can you maintain stock height using coilovers? 2. Do they sag over time below the set height?
You will be lower than stock. But it won't be by much.
@@FitmentIndustries I see. Thanks. Any recommendations to brands, I've read Tiens are much softer than others e.g BC
Lower suspention for a Renault Clio mk1 ( tortion beam)
My car being both too old and unusual to have any results anywhere. ;( Plus what i dont like about the website is that you have to order something to get help.
So what happens if I already have suspension?
G35 coupe daily driver. Which suspension?
Springs if you don’t want to spend too much money. Coils if you think you may want raise or lower your car and adjust it from time to time.
I NEED to know what coilover will be the BEST (no matter the cost) for improving ride quality without lowering the car or slightly lowering ride height. (2019 wrx)
That danny phantom meme though 🤣🤣
*I have a 04 gs300 I'm going to put 18-19 8.5 width rims on it, so what coilovers should I get for COMFORT, and HANDLING on the street?*
Personally BCs have a good overall feel to them! -Edgar
@@FitmentIndustries Hmmm. So BC over Fortune...

so sad that for my micra k12 there are no coilovers... atleast ones that are allowed in germany... so I need to buy Eibach lowering springs :c
but
I wanna go lower :c
I called and talked to Silvers.....about some coils for my road course NASA car. I'm switching to Silvers.
Got coilovers ready to go 🤣
If i just want my car lower, should i get springs instead of coils
If you don’t care about adjustability springs are fine!
If you don't want adjustability, they're fine. Also you can maintain some stock "comfort" with springs.
Just be sure you get the right spring. Don't be like me and underestimate the effects of a 3" drop lmao
@@BobBob-et9ioyou must've had that 4x4 gap 😂
I have a brz and probably will just got 1.5" drop
I’m looking at a brz for a daily for work. I drive like 30,000 miles a year being in sales. I really really want to get as much Highway comfort as I can but still achieve a good stance. I’d be down to drop $1,500 on coilovers but do I need to? Will lowering springs get the job done? Taking anybody’s advice. Thanks!
I daily drive a 2020 BRZ proformance pkg
This model finally has pretty good OEM suspension and dampening.
However, I just put the BC racing RM coilovers on and it rides softer, lower, and has stance. I upgraded the endlinks F&R(still poly-urethane not metal socket) and put strut tower braces on with 18x9.5 +40 w/255/35/18 tires. Just lowering the car put the perfect stance...so you wont need loads of camber adjustments. Even the stock wheels looked good with 25mm spacers for a lil while

Wheels and suspension soon hopefully
