This video is perfect for me. Love your no BS, nicely edited cut to the point here's how its done...but adding helpful notes for items installers should be aware of. Thank you for your clean, quick and to the point video install. Stay Awesome!
I'm new to STi and have been watching Kevin's videos. Recently I stumbled across a video of Kevin getting fired by SubiSpeed. I really enjoyed his videos and learned a lot from him. Sorry to say this but firing Kevin is your loss. He did an excellent job! - From Toronto, Ontario
Just installed these yesterday on my 2020 STI and overall I’d say these feel amazing. Rude quality is top notch and very comfortable if you daily or go around town but can be adjusted for more spirited driving. The end links were a pain in the ass though to get on. Stock setup is awesome on height, it won’t slam your car but the ride height is functional and worthwhile. I can’t recommend these enough, thanks subispeed!
May have to pick a set of these up when they’re back in stock! P.S. please take your wedding ring off when doing maintenance lol I know too many people that have lost or almost lost a finger from slipping off a nut or bolt with one on
I got the same ones on my car. Just got them From subispeed. Mine make a noise whenever I turn the wheel to go left or right. Had them installed at a shop. They checked them and said it’s the lower spring that makes a noise.
So I bought some hypermax about a year n half ago and the adjustment dampener knob on the bottom of the fronts seized. My question is I'm working on changing out to my OEM for winter, and don't see any nuts/bolts that the shop left me. Do you re use the top hat nuts and hub bolts?
They look awesome, but when it comes to suspension I rather have everything from 1 brand so the parts work better with each other. Thank you for the video Kevin And they sold out already 😭
@@p_nutt Right now they are set up according to Ohlins recommendation. Which only lowered the car about 3/4". The car now feels more planted compared to the stock but the main difference is the damping, its spot on. But with these you can adjust the spring rate, damping, and obviously the camber. So you can have a good ride in the city and then adjust them for the track/canyon carving. Oh and they are just so damn gorgeous too!
Quick question. I never did this when I lowered my Accord or my G35, but I have heard that somehow I was supposed to tighten suspension fasteners when the suspension was loaded by the weight of the car. How is that supposed to happen for someone without a car lift? Is it really even necessary?
If I want the gap in between my car and tire to just barley show how much on the coils should I tighten them down too? And would I need to roll my fenders because I would prefer to not roll any fenders And I don’t want any tire tuck I just want a closed gap and do I need a alignment?
You would have to lower the car quite a bit to get rid of most of the wheel gap and yes you would risk rubbing without some fender rolling. When adjusting or installing any new suspension components, you'll always need an alignment after.
Good question! If you're not lowering the car much it's usually not a big deal. Obviously you can't adjust the camber, but it should still be fairly close. You will want to get an alignment however so they can dial in the toe.
Who's baru? so many brands of coil-overs out there. I know name is important, but who actually gets it right? I'm a static guy myself, but coil-overs are a nice one-stop-shop with "matched" parts. I'd install them, then just leave them set in one position never adjusting them ever again unless they need mx or I swapped out springs...defeating the actual purpose/usefulness of the coil-over
Woobaru is the nickname for the car because it's owned by Woo, one of our customer service reps. The coilovers are from HKS which is a very well known and recognized company from Japan. Coilovers are considered static as you can't just change them on the fly. That's usually how most people utilize coilovers, the height adjustment is there so you can get it right the first time and then you usually don't have to mess with it after that. That certainly doesn't defeat the purpose of the coilover cause it's main purpose is to improve handling and performance, not just allow adjustment.
If you want a set it and forget it setup that will be super comfortable, I'd recommend the HKS Hipermax S. If you want something a bit more performance oriented that you can tweak a bit more then I'd recommend the Fortune 500s. Both are great options.
Please take down this video before someone installs their endlinks wrong following this video. They’re impossible to then get off without damaging them & you’ll end up spending 200$ on a new set of endlinks because HKS doesn’t sell these.

y'all upload this after I struggled with this for 2 weeks LOL
Sorry!!!!
But now you know lol
Struggled with a coilover install? Maybe you shouldn’t be working on cars lol

do you know how low it can get im trying to get some nice coilover and lower the car just a bit more ofc not dragging frame but yk a sleek type of low
Thanks for all the help Woo! Cars looking great
Happy he could help out!
Can't help but notice these coil overs are now out of stock lol they sold quick
Yes Woo! My man really helped me out. 👍🏼
Glad to hear it!
May have to pick a set of these up when they’re back in stock!
P.S. please take your wedding ring off when doing maintenance lol I know too many people that have lost or almost lost a finger from slipping off a nut or bolt with one on
I'd probably end up losing it. Will probably be getting a silicone one soon. 😅
Nice job Kevin.
Thanks!
Looks good, keen to see some FA WRX track action from you guys!
Endlink washers installed wrong.
They go on the inside before pushing bolt through
Great content!! Thanks!
I got the same ones on my car. Just got them From subispeed. Mine make a noise whenever I turn the wheel to go left or right. Had them installed at a shop. They checked them and said it’s the lower spring that makes a noise.
Just installed these and having the same issue. Did you ever try to get it resolved?
What's the max height adjustment on these? Does it allow stock height or higher? Thank you.
What’s better when it comes to driving hard , gt or the S
I just got these. I have an aftermarket front sway bar. Should I still use the HKS end links?
So those are bolt on? Don’t need to replace LCA? That’s why I haven’t done coilovers..don’t feel like doing LCA’s.
So I bought some hypermax about a year n half ago and the adjustment dampener knob on the bottom of the fronts seized. My question is I'm working on changing out to my OEM for winter, and don't see any nuts/bolts that the shop left me. Do you re use the top hat nuts and hub bolts?

And they sold out already 😭
What brand are you rocking?
@@SubiSpeed I just got the pricy Ohlins for my '19 wrx and they are sweet.
@@ER-1.1 how is the ride with those?

@@ER-1.1 Thanks Bro I will have to check them out.
Can you show us show ti put it on the stiffest setting ?

Hi there ., I recently bought a Subaru sti 2016
question after installing this coolover
do I need to do alignment after or it doesn’t need alignment?
You will need an alignment after.
How about the clunking noise?
I have the same issue. Just got mines installed at a shop and they say to let them sit in for 2 weeks so they adjust but noise gets louder :(
umm, What is the song that you have playing in the background around 45 seconds and on?
It would be dope if you can include your torques when you do your maintenance lol
Did you have to set the preload on these or do they come with the preload set from the factory?
Thanks!
From what I understand everything is set properly at the factory. I’ll find out for sure as soon as I get mine installed. 👍🏻
If I want the gap in between my car and tire to just barley show how much on the coils should I tighten them down too? And would I need to roll my fenders because I would prefer to not roll any fenders And I don’t want any tire tuck I just want a closed gap and do I need a alignment?

Is it ok with the stock lower control arm in the rear?
Good question! If you're not lowering the car much it's usually not a big deal. Obviously you can't adjust the camber, but it should still be fairly close. You will want to get an alignment however so they can dial in the toe.
Torque specs on coils bolts? Torque on lower control arms? Thanks.
in description!
how low can you adjust them?
Did you lose and re-torque the control arm bushings?
We removed the bolt that was holding the control arm to the subframe. The bolt holding the LCA to the hub was left untouched.
You didn't add the torque specs in the description.
Should be good now!

Does this come with the endlinks?
Comes with front endlinks.
How do these compare to fortune autos?
If you want a set it and forget it setup that will be super comfortable, I'd recommend the HKS Hipermax S. If you want something a bit more performance oriented that you can tweak a bit more then I'd recommend the Fortune 500s. Both are great options.
How do you adjust the dampening?
there is a knob on top that you can twist to adjust hard or soft
in case you want to see how the car looks with the pre set height
th-cam.com/video/n8NQHmD_GTY/w-d-xo.html
let me guess, out of stock!?!? 😒
Couldn't just use a wrench and allen key like the rest of us peasants to take off the end links lol
With my luck, I'd probably end up stripping the stud and having to grind everything off!
Please take down this video before someone installs their endlinks wrong following this video. They’re impossible to then get off without damaging them & you’ll end up spending 200$ on a new set of endlinks because HKS doesn’t sell these.
