@@youravantgarde they're just too big of a company now. they do not have attention to detail and the finish quality is poor. they appeal to the masses. I highly recommend Fortune Auto, Silver, or BC. all affordable but deliver a great product custom tailored to your specs
@@MichaelSmith-cx6qm niether of those are affordable wtf. i dont wanna go over $500 for some coilovers. its either raceland or tein for me. but idk which one.
I went with a Tein midrange kit for my NA Miata and I’m a huge fan. It lowered it enough without being slammed and since I race autocross with them on, they drastically improved handling and grip.
I've had the Tein flex z's on my 97 subaru impreza outback sport for about a year.... absolutely love em"........the car rides sooooo flat and sturdy around the corners...... yes, you feel ALL the tarstrips and bumps on the road, so if your butt's sensitive, don't get coilovers........ if you intend to take 1000 mile roadtrips, you WILL eventually feel the abuse in your arms/shoulders from the road beating you up ( trust me ), just a warning..........But, if you like flying around corners with twice the traction, and lowering your car for center of gravity advantages (and looks?), coilovers are for you...
@@edgarbecerril8812 it's not jumpy, but it's not really soft or smooth either, i feel everything on the road bump and crack wise, but still very planted and firm.....
It's been "Tien" like the DBZ character in my brain for the last 15+ years. This is the first time I've heard someone say it and I was shook for a second 😂
This is a second video that was made by you guys that says these coils are not serviceable but thats not true. Unlike the monos which the damper is taken apart and rebuilt, these kits have a full replaceable damper for easy servicing. Non serviceable means once the damper is done you'll have to replace the whole coilover. Thats a huge difference, also you should mention these are compatible with the edfc line up unlike the basic versions. Last you mentioned the spanner tools are the same, they are not, its has two different sizes. One it for the locking (smalling nut) and the other is for adjustments (both larger nuts) not trying to be a dick but just correcting and adding info that would certainly sway my thoughts on these coils.
I have them on my rx8 and think they are great for the price point and good for the track as well as not being as harsh as you would expect on the road
More videos on the sophisticated stuff about coilovers set-up, how damping and spring rates effect handling, acceleration, and braking on FWD, RWD, and AWD cars and how you can setup your suspension and select spring rates based on what your looking to do! Yea #DatWay
I ordered my Flex Z’s from you guys about a month ago for my 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart, I love them! Ride quality is great imo, install was very easy and all together pretty good quality product for the price! People warned me not to spend less than $1,500 on coilovers but these have really caught me by surprise on the quality!
Hi, William, I see your comment is from 2yrs ago. 2 years in, how are those Tein coilovers doing? I'm curious. I got myself Tein coilovers recently; just haven't gotten around to install them yet. 🤣
@@reallifeengineer7214 I was planning to get a set of coilovers for my daily driver. I don't want to slam it, just want to reduce the wheel gap a little bit. I was curious, since it's been 2 years, have you installed those coilovers yet? 😂 ...if so, what are your thoughts on them? 😁
@@blazed_existence3338 Yes my Flex Z are installed. Being running on them for 2 years now. When I researched available coilovers for my Lancer, the Tein Flex Z's spring rate is on the high side amongst all the choices. To be clear, ALL the choices have spring rates higher than factory suspension's spring. The positive: The car stays evenly planted going through turns. These high spring rates really emphasize turning performance. The drawback: Bumps & dips in the road - you will feel them more. What seemed easily handled by factory suspension, now seem to rock/upset the car more than before. In about 2wks, you will know where those spots are on your daily commute, and you'll learn a new auto-pilot response where you're steering around & avoiding those patches unconsciously. If you are concerned with what I stated above, then you can look into several things: Either get a different brand coilover whose spring rate is lower than Tein Flex Z. OR - get Tein lowering springs, and still use your factory struts/shocks. Lowering springs don't have the very high spring rates that Flex Z runs. For reducing the visual gap, lowering spring is probably the better way to go, keeping the ride behavior/performance very close to factory.
I had Tein ssp coilovers back in 2008 mounted on my supercharged 2.2l ecotec cavalier , these coilovers are the real deal for superior handling as well as shorter brake distances , something no one talks about. You will lose softness/ ride confort but the benefits outweights the sacrifice in my opinion.
@@swervv2957 Yes they will be stiff no matter what because they are good entry level performance coilovers , if you want both comfort and performance at the same time than you must look into higher end sets , but they will cost you from $2k to over $4k a set. It's whatever you are looking for and can afford , i personally would stick to tein , bc racing, ground control, isc n1 etc.. i would not pay over $1500 for a set of coil overs even if i had the money but that's just me.
Back in the day when coilovers started to flood the market I remember the least expensive kits where the ones from Tein and Intrax, and lots of people that used them either for street or track were always talking good things about them in terms of ride, adjustability, dampening and material quality. In the Honda community lots of brands were producing super expensive kits, a lot of them from japanese brands like HKS and Apex which were running above $2000, that's why Tein was always respected for making high quality stuf affordable, like Enkeii wheels. However when super cheap copy-cat brands started to appear soon many saw it was good to flip the finger at those $700 coilovers from Tein and put on some cheap $300 ones from megan or whatever and Tein was forgotten. It's good to see a video giving a good talk and unboxing on one of their kits.
I run a set of flex z on my g37s sedan and my nc2 miata. I absolutely LOVE the EDFC system that goes with this, and have that on both of my cars. The on the fly dampening adjustment is HUGE!!
Bro I have the same car but the s coupe. Can you please help me out with some answers?! I’m thinking about getting these for the whip, as they worth it? Im just looking for some comfort and reliability aswell as just a tad bit lower then stock. It’s my daily and I drive in rough LA streets ate time. How different are they from the stock? And are they smooth out rough? I don’t want to drop and I don’t track, spirit driving occasionally. Your advice would help me out from a fellow G!
1 year review Z flex picked them up for around $900.00; i installed these on my 2011 evo X MR, they are super adjustable great quality for the price they kill it on the Streets! That being said they are always on the stiffest setting & still too soft for me. i love taking corners like a bat outta hell when safe of course. Imo These would not be suitable for a serious track day they are too soft... for the street they are PERFECT! I rock the steel TEIN badge on the rear bumber super proud of these! Your video sold these to me thanks my man! 🙋♂️
They are great I've installed 3 sets between my cars and friend's. The only set I've seen go bad is a guy with a Subaru for sale that had the kit all the way down as far as it could go and the strut seals went bad.
I run them on my 350Z and love them. I don't do and track diving so I can't comment on pushing them hard but they are comfortable on the street. I also have the EDFC Active Pro installed and you can defiantly feel it working and adjusting the coil overs.
RoaringPistons that’s if they carry it for your car in stock all the Black Friday stuff are in stock only so they’ll go quick plus FA over bc and tein any day of the week
I run Tein Street Advance on my EM2 and I love them. The ride comfort after stiffening them is still really comfortable and they dropped my front end about two inches while the rear got about a inch an a half giving the car a nice aggressive stance without any adjustments. I'm definitely looking to upgrade with Tein tho and am debating between the Flex Z's or the Mono Sports
This is one of the multiple videos that you guys put up about coilovers (tein). Been having a hard time to choose the ones I wanted to get. Thanks a ton & ofcourse I made the order trough you guy! Easy fast & affordable! 🔥
Yep I'd run a set, got these on a legacy wagon and can say they work great, they are very comfort focused so if you rip the corners go stiff on damping it helps, surprised to see a 350z kit doesn't have camber plates?
350z doesn't use conventional struts it has a upper a arm as well so camber plates achieve nothing because the camber depends on the control arm adjusting a strut camber plate on this car does nothing for camber
I'm running a set on an MX5 Nb (Miata mk2) love them so much better than stock. Mine came assembled and took one hour it fit. I love them, they came with a recommended height sticker and I have been running that for a while but will lower soon when I get some Enkei 92 wheels under the car. Good video !
I got a set of Tein Flex coilovers used for my miata about 6 years ago. They had a decent bit of mileage on them to begin with but they've been holding up great. I don't keep them clean so the adjustment rings are seized up, but that'll happen with any coilovers you don't take care of. If I were to replace them I would think about the Flex Z mainly because they brought the price down on the Flex to where I got them used, which is rad. Seeing an unboxing of them was really nice. Keep up the good work!
Is no one going to mention that the Tein "knuckle breaker" wrenches are supposed to be used together? You use both. At the same time. There is no spare. I bought a set of basic Tein coilovers for my 2004 Lancer Ralliart Sportback. They work great! Corners great, and they aren't super rough like some suspension setups I've driven in. 10/10 would recommend.
I just bought flex zs for my 05 Accord. I hope they are worth it. They come in on Wednesday so I'll probably be installing them next weekend. First time getting coilovers so it's going to be a learning curve for me getting the adjustments right.
Aye! looking forward to seeing what they look like once they are installed, Don't forget to upload more pictures here --> www.fitmentindustries.com/add-wheel-offset
I definitely will. I'm in the U.S. Virgin Islands too (St. Thomas), so the background is gonna be nice. I'm a bit worried about rubbing though since I'm gonna be running 245/35 tires... my aim is purely for aesthetics.... no track, racing, etc... I'm thinking perhaps I may need to roll the fenders... going purely for a flush, lowered look. Thoughts, comments, suggestions, and ideas please.
Have probably run a dozen or so different sets of coilovers over the years with varying combinations of springs. For my money, Pedders make a very good product for the price point. Also, their replacement lowering struts and Springs are perfect daily setup for my old shredded spine.
At 8:40.. How does the car not bottom out? You would think as the car gets lower you need less travel and stiffer with a shorter spring. Yet they found a way to keep the spring the same height regardless. So doesn’t that mean when you lower it or slam it, the spring will be too soft and have more travel causing it does to bottom out easier? Hope this makes sense I’m trying to explain it the best way I can.
I need to understand more about the ratio of adjusting the springs & shocks, especially since I'm not really trying to lower my car as much as buy quality struts/shocks
Of course Tein are amazing and worth it. They got everything from grip to drift to rally to street. Just gotta make sure you pick the right set for what your needs are.
My needs are for a more stock match with a minor drop from stock. Going for comfort and reliability, i have a G37s. Live in a area with bad roads is why and don’t care much for the slammed look
Hi bro. I share your sentiments as well. I drive in very bumpy roads with lots of potholes, so I need lowering springs or coils that provide me with comfort, longevity and reliability. Have you bought coils yet? What are you on presently?
@@PrinceJaredJI had some old school Type HE drift spec winding masters. Great when sliding, okayish for track, pretty rough on street. Switched to a mono sport, stopped drifting, good on track and street depending on damping. Going to switch to fully spec'd Feal 442s soon because discount from sponsored friend.
@@EvLSpectre Hi. Thanks so much for replying, despite this being a 3 year old thread. Honestly, I have no idea about the brands and model struts you speak of so I'm researching them right now but I'm looking for a soft, comfortable ride that will hold up to horrendous roads with potholes and bumps everywhere [Caribbean roads here]
I have a set on my g37 sedan and i absolutely love them 😍 Smooth ride can feel some cracks on the road at times but fast straights around corners bends sharp turns is where they shine the most 👍🏼 My car stays put with no sway whatsoever and feels like its riding on rails no matter what speed i am going 👌🏼 Pick up a set of these and for sure you will not be disappointed 😎
If you have the money, around $1800.00 plus, Tein's Monosport coilovers are incredible. There a lot more beefy, and also have pre-load adjustments. The rebound on those coilovers, even when dropped, really low, is still incredibly compliant. Had them on my Acura RSX-S that was dropped close to two inches. The first comment everyone told me when driving in the car that it was not a harsh drive and incredible comfortable for a drop so low for daily driving. There are only two other type of coilovers I want to try out: 1.) Coilovers with reservoirs. I know Tein makes them but they're expensive ($3,600.00) in many applications. 2.) Ohlin Coilovers! I hear the ride of those coilovers is the pinnacle in aftermarket performance. They're not cheap but you have to pay to play.
How do these stack up against the bilstein b12 kits? Ive been shopping around for a few months and so far thats my choice. Theyre not adjustable but its for my grocery getter. I just want a bit better handling and to kill some of that ugly wheel gap.
Believe so but we do not have that make and model on our site so you will need to fill out an online quote form to get some options for your ride! www.fitmentindustries.com/quote
If you mean assembled as in the spring is on the shock, it's because some cars have the shock and spring in different locations. I think he said this was for a Z and on those cars the spring is part of the control arm instead of being a part of the strut. Someone correct me if I am wrong though
2:30 "The knuckledestroyer, 2 in case U loose the first 1" No, no not really, U use them both at the same time to tighten them into each other in opposite direction. Anyways did enjoy the review very detailed about the product so ++
I bought a 99 prelude with street advance tein and I love them, there also 16 way adjustable and I have the on hard setting and driving in 215-35-18 tires and I can honestly not complain on how it feels on bumps , looking to buy them for my 95 Honda Accord and get the skunk 2 spring with Tru Hart shocks out, to bouncy not stiff at all
can u cover the active suspension adjustment this company offers. Don t they offer some type of motor that installs on top of the shock and adjusts when needed. Can u cover the cost for this? I am sooo interested in this. Think it is the way to go for the future!!
Yes. I am interested but I am driving a JDM Honda Civic Type-R (FD2R) in Singapore, so I don’t know whether I can buy directly from your online store or not.
I just threw teins flex Z in my mitat and after running threw a bunch of threads in forum and videos on how to adjust I am in the terrible headinche of adjusting my ride height properly. I know that Tein leaves soem pretty well explined instructions but after 25 years of use and a bunch of track days lets say that my chassis is not as straight as whwn it was new. Will use any advice i can get
Hey bro, I'm on the same boat woth my Cd7 accord. I got a tank for 80 bucks off offer up, and the air bags and struts for 250. Lines and all that will be around 250 more. And I'm going eith a manual management. So I will be into it around 1k when all done. Look around, do research, and shop wisely. Go on Craigslist, offer up and all those platforms. You find really good deals.
@@MiikeyLawless what doesn't ride as well? If you mean air, it's a much smoother ride than any coilovers you can get. Plus, you don't scrape your shit everywhere. It's the best
Does anyone know if you can run close to a stock ride night. For the snowy months up here in Canada. I had cheap set on an old civic and all the way up the car would turn into a snow plow. Thanks

No because they're "as affordable" as my entire car...
All the people commenting on the color are too young to appreciate the company's OG status.

I just bought flex zs for my 05 Accord. I hope they are worth it. They come in on Wednesday so I'll probably be installing them next weekend. First time getting coilovers so it's going to be a learning curve for me getting the adjustments right.
Aye! looking forward to seeing what they look like once they are installed, Don't forget to upload more pictures here --> www.fitmentindustries.com/add-wheel-offset
They are definitely worth the money , had them for 8 months and they still ride good
Just got a set of these for my 2017 Accord V6 Touring... hope I made a good choice. Gonna run some 245/35 R20 Toyo HPII. Should be a sweet set up.
You should upload your ride to our gallery sometime! bit.ly/2obqAZQ
I definitely will. I'm in the U.S. Virgin Islands too (St. Thomas), so the background is gonna be nice. I'm a bit worried about rubbing though since I'm gonna be running 245/35 tires... my aim is purely for aesthetics.... no track, racing, etc... I'm thinking perhaps I may need to roll the fenders... going purely for a flush, lowered look. Thoughts, comments, suggestions, and ideas please.
Have probably run a dozen or so different sets of coilovers over the years with varying combinations of springs. For my money, Pedders make a very good product for the price point. Also, their replacement lowering struts and Springs are perfect daily setup for my old shredded spine.
2009 Acura TSX K24z3 daily driven. Tein Flex Z is in card, waiting for my bank to call and confirm the purchase X) Nice video. thanks for the unboxing
At 8:40.. How does the car not bottom out? You would think as the car gets lower you need less travel and stiffer with a shorter spring. Yet they found a way to keep the spring the same height regardless. So doesn’t that mean when you lower it or slam it, the spring will be too soft and have more travel causing it does to bottom out easier? Hope this makes sense I’m trying to explain it the best way I can.
I love this attitude Alex has
Joseph Morris on 🔥
i run a set of Tein Mono Sport coils in my NA miata and they are phenomenal!
all jokes aside. I for real got a set for my FRS free only paid 20 dollar shipping from enjuku racing.
coming from the R/C world all type of suspension combos mostly off-road. if you have the right spring rate and ride height for your application(
I need to understand more about the ratio of adjusting the springs & shocks, especially since I'm not really trying to lower my car as much as buy quality struts/shocks
Of course Tein are amazing and worth it. They got everything from grip to drift to rally to street. Just gotta make sure you pick the right set for what your needs are.
Gotta love me some Tein. 🙏🏼🔌❤️
My needs are for a more stock match with a minor drop from stock. Going for comfort and reliability, i have a G37s. Live in a area with bad roads is why and don’t care much for the slammed look
Hi bro. I share your sentiments as well. I drive in very bumpy roads with lots of potholes, so I need lowering springs or coils that provide me with comfort, longevity and reliability. Have you bought coils yet? What are you on presently?
@@PrinceJaredJI had some old school Type HE drift spec winding masters. Great when sliding, okayish for track, pretty rough on street. Switched to a mono sport, stopped drifting, good on track and street depending on damping. Going to switch to fully spec'd Feal 442s soon because discount from sponsored friend.
@@EvLSpectre Hi. Thanks so much for replying, despite this being a 3 year old thread. Honestly, I have no idea about the brands and model struts you speak of so I'm researching them right now but I'm looking for a soft, comfortable ride that will hold up to horrendous roads with potholes and bumps everywhere [Caribbean roads here]
I want to lower my car but still want the smooth oem ride
I have a set on my g37 sedan and i absolutely love them 😍
Smooth ride can feel some cracks on the road at times but fast straights around corners bends sharp turns is where they shine the most 👍🏼
My car stays put with no sway whatsoever and feels like its riding on rails no matter what speed i am going 👌🏼
Pick up a set of these and for sure you will not be disappointed 😎
Make a how to chop your springs next pls,
Interesting 👀😂
Step 1: Don’t
😂
saber saw with a good blade
Great vid more tein plz specifically there electronic dampening control thingy!!
YES!!! Affordable coilovers ARE worth it!!!
If you have the money, around $1800.00 plus, Tein's Monosport coilovers are incredible. There a lot more beefy, and also have pre-load adjustments. The rebound on those coilovers, even when dropped, really low, is still incredibly compliant. Had them on my Acura RSX-S that was dropped close to two inches. The first comment everyone told me when driving in the car that it was not a harsh drive and incredible comfortable for a drop so low for daily driving.
There are only two other type of coilovers I want to try out:
1.) Coilovers with reservoirs. I know Tein makes them but they're expensive ($3,600.00) in many applications.
2.) Ohlin Coilovers! I hear the ride of those coilovers is the pinnacle in aftermarket performance. They're not cheap but you have to pay to play.
Personally, I would love for one day have a set of Ohlins but I gotta save up for those! 🙌
for $1800 you can do better than tein mono sport as much as I love my tein coilovers.
10/10 intro Alex. well done.
I always wondered what the proper pronunciation was for tein. Thanks lol
Glad we can help!
I say Tee-in. Sounds better than almost saying taint. It’s about half and half on who says it each way.
I always said Tine
Tane, tine, teen all the same green shit by the end of the day
Kelpy G that one I don’t get. Lol
I hear aloooooot of diff experiences that ppl have had with their teins BUT in my ek they ride GREAT
How do these stack up against the bilstein b12 kits? Ive been shopping around for a few months and so far thats my choice. Theyre not adjustable but its for my grocery getter. I just want a bit better handling and to kill some of that ugly wheel gap.
i love how Gels just slowly closed the door right at the beginning when he realized they were filming 😂
does tein make coilovers for the suzuki cappuccino?
Believe so but we do not have that make and model on our site so you will need to fill out an online quote form to get some options for your ride! www.fitmentindustries.com/quote
Talk about d2 suspension please
Tein super street/street advance Z or BC Racing BR Series?
Wonder why the back didn't come assembled? Could you explain serviceable coil overs and how its done.
If you mean assembled as in the spring is on the shock, it's because some cars have the shock and spring in different locations. I think he said this was for a Z and on those cars the spring is part of the control arm instead of being a part of the strut. Someone correct me if I am wrong though
@@BrandynMauro Oh.. Sounds right. Thanks
I'm Tein, your latest dancer. I can't wait to enter-tein you
That was smooth no cap. 👀
Now Tane I can get into
2:30 "The knuckledestroyer, 2 in case U loose the first 1" No, no not really, U use them both at the same time to tighten them into each other in opposite direction. Anyways did enjoy the review very detailed about the product so ++
I bought a 99 prelude with street advance tein and I love them, there also 16 way adjustable and I have the on hard setting and driving in 215-35-18 tires and I can honestly not complain on how it feels on bumps , looking to buy them for my 95 Honda Accord and get the skunk 2 spring with Tru Hart shocks out, to bouncy not stiff at all
I like this guy. Entertaining to watch, and relatable
Yes u guys should install the kit
Just ordered a set today. Extremely hyped to be getting them in!
How the teins going?
install a set of tein coilovers on my Acura. lowered my car 2 inches and ride is great.
With the street advance coils , when you go higher or lower... are you adjusting the preload at the same time ??
The coils actually come already pre loaded so you actually would not adjust them!
@@FitmentIndustries even om street advance coils?
i got them on a 2006 tsx and they go REALLY low, and ride pretty good
Let's see how low that ride is! Upload it to our gallery sometime. bit.ly/2obqAZQ
Fitment Industries once i get wheels on them, stocks aren't presentable
can u cover the active suspension adjustment this company offers. Don t they offer some type of motor that installs on top of the shock and adjusts when needed. Can u cover the cost for this? I am sooo interested in this. Think it is the way to go for the future!!
You guys should do installs for popular cars.
Looking to maybe something like that down the road!
what's the wheel to the right of you between the bronze 5 spoke and white steelie
it's kansei wheels
Please make video explaining the lbs of coilovers and adjusting
Great suggestion I believe we actually have this on our list already!🙌
why are the top hats like that.... forget max low. Do they sell slimmer top hats or camber plates?
That's weird how they came packaged! Mine came packed better, completely assembled, and protected better 🙏🏽
Interesting they must not love us as much! 😔😂
@@FitmentIndustries haha granted mine were for a Miata so the components are smaller...so idk if it's the reasoning they had more room for packing.
Yes. I am interested but I am driving a JDM Honda Civic Type-R (FD2R) in Singapore, so I don’t know whether I can buy directly from your online store or not.
Shoot us an email at shop@fitmentindustdries.com and we can help you with that!
Anyone know the name of the bronze wheels to his right?
Do you have the choice beetween ball bearing and upgraded rubber mount when you order them ?
Bro i really love your videos. Your funny as hell
Please do a walkthrough of installing coilovers
Def something we are working on!
@@FitmentIndustries you'll still haven't
I SEE YOU BACK THERE.. closing the door.. slowly
I thought tein always had the clicks? My teins from the early 2005 click, and they still work great!
what are the gold 5 spoke wheels in the background?
Those are wheels from the brand new company Kansei that is dropping January 2019!
I just threw teins flex Z in my mitat and after running threw a bunch of threads in forum and videos on how to adjust I am in the terrible headinche of adjusting my ride height properly. I know that Tein leaves soem pretty well explined instructions but after 25 years of use and a bunch of track days lets say that my chassis is not as straight as whwn it was new. Will use any advice i can get
What rims are the ones in the middle row next to the white ones. 6 spoke alloy?
Those would be Motegi MR139
Coilovers are on my list for my AP1 this winter. Thanks for the video!
Got some for my Z32 .LOVE them.
Show us how you install it? Please
Not much plastic in the packaging is a good thing in my humble.
I have a set of Flex Z's, feels good but all welds were shit from factory and had to weld them again...
I like that white wheel behind you. What model is that one.
Those would be the Motegi MR139 which can be found here! ---> bit.ly/2B8cm2k
In the main camera i can see a gold matte 5 spoke wheel that is on your rigth what brand is it?
That would be a new wheel that is going to be released early 2019 from a company called Kansei!
Fitment Industries so they are not on stock yet?
I run flex z on my 350z…lovin it
Serious question: what wheel is that bronze five spoke over to the left of the screen?
New wheels from a company coming out in 2019 called Kansei!🙏🏼🔥
@@FitmentIndustries Cool and good. Thank you
I’m tryna put a air suspension kit on my integra DC5 for less than a total of $2,250? Any suggestions?
Check out and see if we have what your looking for! bit.ly/2AeSSI8
Hey bro, I'm on the same boat woth my Cd7 accord. I got a tank for 80 bucks off offer up, and the air bags and struts for 250. Lines and all that will be around 250 more. And I'm going eith a manual management. So I will be into it around 1k when all done. Look around, do research, and shop wisely. Go on Craigslist, offer up and all those platforms. You find really good deals.
My suggestion...dont. Doesnt ride as well...but if you have to for parking lot stance, then you can find a lot of used shit.
@@MiikeyLawless what doesn't ride as well? If you mean air, it's a much smoother ride than any coilovers you can get. Plus, you don't scrape your shit everywhere. It's the best
Does anyone know what those bronze 5 spokes are on the back left of the set?
WHAT ARE THE WHEELS CAMERA RIGHT AT 3:55?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??
I do not see any wheels at 3:55!
@@FitmentIndustries you know what I mean! Varrstoen mk3??
Does anyone know if you can run close to a stock ride night. For the snowy months up here in Canada. I had cheap set on an old civic and all the way up the car would turn into a snow plow. Thanks
