I love this new style of High Low. You got the explanation of the parts with Nolan and James. You got the details of the install and specific details with Jobe You got the tear down of the parts with Jeremiah This feels like High Low, Money pit, and B2B all in one and I love it.
Love how this episode has everyone doing what they do best, Jobe explaining how to get things installed, Nolan and James looking good for the camera and Jerry explaining the sciency stuff
It's the Avengers of car TH-cam shows. Edit: And don't even ask who is what Avenger, because that shit's easy. Zach is Captain America, Nolan is Hulk, James is Nick Fury, Jerry is Iron Man, Jimmy is Spider-Man, Eddie is Hawkeye.
This is the best video they've dropped in a hot minute and I think your comment really identifies the secret sauce. Seeing all the hosts operating in their specialty lanes just works.
yeah i agree, i mean just based off the fact that they are willing to put 30k+ worth of mods in a car i dont see why they wont make a new hi low series and mod cars to create a type of time attack car
You guys are showing lot of advancement with your segment editing an overall flow of the show. Donut has always been good at teaching with a simplified style of explaining ting, without skipping too many important details. Now I can tell that the rhythm of the episode's progression is evolving to resemble a classic television show. You guys are ABSOLUTELY murdering the production value and presentation! VERY QUALITY... I love you
@@iyot1020 even if he did, it's impressive as hell that he was able to get the times he got. Shop daddy actually drives for a living and Nolan was able to keep up or do better than him.
something very worth mentioning is how long it will take for them to wear out, i hade a couple of coilovers from a budget swedish company and they dont really give the same suspension at all like they did in the beginning. like, it almost feels like they're shot now
11 months late. But this was my thought as well. It's more difficult to test longevity and reliability because human can be so impatient. I ran TEIN Monoflexes for the last 13 years and sent them in for refurbish to TEIN about a month ago. (They recommend every 3 years refurb.... sheieieieieieieieieieieie bruh)
I think if Adam didn't oversteer at the second half of the course, he might've beat Nolan's Hi Car time. But still, yes, Nolan's driving is good. I mean, he spent a lot of time driving autocross, didn't he?
I did not think Nolan would beat Zach's time, tbh. I was under the impression Zach was a more experienced driver, but the fact that Nolan had a time only a second slower than a pro driver's was impressive.
I'm about 2:15 into this episode, and this is notably leveled up. The editors must have worked overtime! Loved the detail of the boxes exploding away to the posed coilovers on the table. That smooth time lapse of Jobe explaining the install while he does it was incredible! And tossing the coilover gag with the victim behind, perfect. You guys were awesome before, this is simply incredible stuff.
Proud of Nolan, if I remember right he used to be not super confident in his driving overall but he was out there laying down some of the best track times .
I've been following Donut off and on for years and I just wanted to throw you guys a a little love for the new animations. The whole camber breakdown section was dope to watch, it will definitely help new wrenchers visualize what these adjustments do for their ride! Great job guys, and thanks for the top tier content. PS. I am in no way affiliated with your animation/post processing department. But I am a big fan of the artistic direction you've taken your channel(s)
They will have to at one point. There are only so many "low" parts they can put on cars, it doesn't matter what car it is either. You can buy these MaxShittingRods for hundreds of different cars but at the end of the day, they are garbage no matter what you put them on. Just like "Up to Speed", this won't last forever unless they really go out of the box. I really believe the next step for them is buying salvage cars and restoring them.
Hi-Lo is back and I am really excited to see what you guys do with them! Edit: good god you guys didn't have to like my post this much and what is the reply section?
Less than 5 minutes in to the video I can clearly see a major difference in how the video is produced, shot and scripted. I'm honestly blown away with the quality of production we are seeing from you guys! I'm all for this much more scientific/data driven content! I'm studying mechanical engineering tech at a local college and part of my passion is from working on cars and watching your videos.
It would have been nice to compare the OEM and see the internal parts of the stock dampers on this. Nice to know stock baseline. Wouldn't WRX come with something better than a stock Camry?
from watching james sit in no lighting telling us abt the history of cars and car companies back the day to watching the guys getting sponsored by ebday motors now, its just so awesome and great journey man, congrats to the whole donut media team for making it

@AdamHalvo I am reminded of something like a wart when I watch him. Is it really that horrible? Not really but nobody wants to have them and nobody wants to see it... maybe you?
My 98 civic has max speeding rods I had them for 3 years and they still work brand new, I had bc coils before and they leaked twice, Im always buying max speeding rods they are also comfortable for daily driving
You guys did flawlessly with this video. 👏 the editing bringing all the ideas together. Using the full team's perspective to ensure the idea of why you'd wanna do this replacement yourself. And just how well you have all grown so naturally into your position. If every video has this quality of personal touch, 👌 this will be the best season hi-lo has ever seen

Congrats on the sponsor! These videos are very well written, produced and edited. It’s been great watching this channel grow and it looks like you guys are in the zone.
I think you should have put the stock suspension on the dyno and shared info with that as well. To show if the $300 suspension is worse or better than stock
What would dynoing a car with different suspensions show? The dyno represents horsepower and torque ratings… the difference a change in suspension would make is best represented on the track handling turns and ride quality
Nope, peak donut was a couple years ago with HiLow season 1. I don't know, something just feels off about newer donut videos. They feel a bit empty. Soulless.
You guys' production quality is noticably improving, I really enjoyed watching this. PUMPED for hi/lo to be back. You guys really cover it all in these series, and they're very enjoyable to watch. I have learned a lot from this series!
My maxpeeding coilovers were so bouncy on the stiffest setting and only lasted about a year but I bought them because I was still learning a lot about cars and suspension but I recently switched to racelands and they’re amazing so far for only a few hundred $ more
Racelands are basically in the same tier of product as maxpeeding both cheap made in China coilovers, if you want something better get some KWs,BCs or Bilsteins
Race lands are soften out after 6months. Been through 3 sets with in 2 years. Mainly front seals blowing out. Then I had to swap to 12kg 180mm length springs. No issues after that.
@mariolanderosgarcia5373 you're better off saving your money for longer and buying quality coilovers. If you were to buy cheap Chinese coilovers you'll end up spending more money in the long run as opposed to just buying the right ones the first time.
Wow, Nolan was FLYIN in those laps! Must be the auto cross he’s been doing! Love the mix of organic shots like Adam overcooking that turn during the “more better” talk alongside the silly shenanigans like Jobe talking about the install and the goofs in the background 😂😂 Peak Donut content. You guys keep getting better, at racing and videos!
Anybody else notice that they pulled a set of KYB AGX’s with upgraded springs (FANTASTIC suspension combo) out of low car to put in the equivalent to hot dogs instead?
I have a set of the maxspeeding coilovers on my ek. It is not a track car, but a daily driver. I Have about 5-6k's on them after about 2 year. I have had no issues with them and for the money they even have a fairly decent ride.
Like everyone else seems to be saying. The production quality and overall skill you guys have as a team to make content and deliver time and time again really breaks my heart that you don't have a TV show that you have at least enough control over to write your own scripts and make your own mini series as you've been doing here just on television as well! You guys deserve everything you have and then some. You seem like some really great people seriously.
BROO the transitions between everybody are so seamless feel so natural!!! The production quality is top notch and the chemistry between everyone sublime. This is the quality i expect from donut !!!Good job to everybody at donut media !!
Never really seen these videos until now, super refreshing to see just a group of car guys be friendly and generally encouraging to one another lol. Subbed for sure
This is gonna be the best series to me and one I've been dying to see. Happy you guys are using 06-07 wrx's because that's my daily, thank you I really needed this smile more than I knew
Bro! Good for you man! this must be so exciting for you! I wish they did a Hi Lo on an acura tl 2006😅, or a Nissan 200sx 1985. (I got the 200sx from my grandma)
the problem with things like ebaymotors/rock auto is that YOU have to know what you need. ALWAYS TYPE IN YOUR VIN!!!! This is why part houses are still functional. We can get you what you need. we aint mechanics but we're here to help.
NEW SEASON?! God it took no time at all for me to binge every episode of Hi Lo and I'm so excited to see a WRX version. This series has given me enough confidence to get to building an S15 this winter!
I cannot wait for the engine mod phase to hear these beasts sing. Equally I will watch every episode between now and then. Plus the production on this is pretty sweet
I love the return of this series, and I love how well constructed, informativce and entertaining they are. You guys seem to genuinely love making videos, and I can't get enough. Well done guys!!!!!
I daily a 06 STI with tein Flex z coilovers. They are around 800 for the set and a great midrange option. Same adjustability as the expensive ones. Ride real nice too. Excited to see what all you guys do to these bad boys. Keep up the good work.
You guys need to do a diesel hi/low. Make a hauler for all your track cars. Go for reliability, economy, power/torque, emissions and comfort. If you have a hardcore truck that sucks to drive, you wont want to use it to haul 12+ hours to a track and the drive your car. Might I suggest cummings. See how good a toy hauler you can make and still fall within California overly strict standards.
You guys should really finish the season off by combining all the winning parts and running that against hi and low cars base to see if your picks will make the best bang for buck build
Just gotta say it breaks my heart that the production quality of the Forza Donut Media content was 1/100th the quality you guys deliver on a regular basis here...
Blame the current staff of Playground Games. It's 100% clear that the original team that made FH1 is long gone and replaced by business bro's and trend chasers, not trend setters.
This will be worth revisiting after a few thousand miles to see how they've held up. Also, worth mentioning that TEIN has a rebuild and technical support service, and Maxpeepee does not. Also, TEIN's dampers have EDFC compatibility.
I am so immeasurably happy that im getting the OG hi lo vibe from this and it is getting me really hyped to mod my car more, it is also inspiring me and making me happy to be in the car scene. Thank you donut media love you forever and always!!!
This season with these cars is feeling great! Super entertaining. Would be fun to see the donut team tackling some real team racing maybe time attack or something.
Love Hi Lo series n couldnt be more happier they are doing wrx's! I just dropped 9k into my 05 FXTs engine bay, from an iag closed deck shorty to grimmspeed lightweight crank pulley theres soo much you guys can do here, can't wait for next episode.
Nolan's lap time is genuinely impressive, pro driver only going 1 second faster. Never knew he was so fast, respect. Edit: must work on consistency though haha
Love watching you guys build because you actually educate and make it super fun so you don't have to be a car expert to understand the video. Can't wait to see how these cars turn out.
This updated format version of high low seems soooooo good! The educational information inbetween the known format is short but insanely interesting. Hope you keep this up in future videos !
I would HIGHLY recommend doing an oil pan upgrade. Wrx pans are known for starving in long corners, you can get an sti pan or a baffle kit, but that's probably what toasted the old motor. Do not get sticky tires before upgrading oiling
Anybody ever heard of Gecko Suspensions? When I bought my '10 MINI Cooper Clubman S it definitely needed a set of coilovers. After a bit of research I decided to go with a set of Geckos for about $1300. For that price they are the best set of coilovers I have ever bought. Since then I've gotten my Clubman to push about 320ish hp with a 4.3 0-60. The 60-120 is even more impressive, but where the car really shines is on the track. I have had and driven cars with Tein, Skunk2, Bilstein and KW Variants. My Geckos ride just as good and I'm proud to have them on my car. They really are a good set of coilovers. If your on a budget they are really hard to beat in my opinion. Great High/Low video. Love the new Boost Creep shirt. I had to go ahead and grab one before they sold out.
Production value and flow is insane, you guys are killing it. Only gripe ... would have loved to see a rally hi low since we have already had a track one (they are WRXs after all!)
The quality of this video is immense, you guys must have put so much work into it. The visuals showing what you’re talking about especially is just really well done. Can’t wait to see more!
@@babagandu first off do some research there's usually an option that isn't expensive that won't turn the car overly stiff. Then you should just be able to google the name of the coil over and "buy"
@@punisherpr I recently came across his IG post on Reddit where he kinda explains his absence. Horrible decision by the bosses to part ways with him. Sucks :/
I actually have Max Speeding Rods on my Cobalt SS, they're definitely a big improvement over stock parts, and it's not a track car, so for what I'm doing, they're just fine!
I'm still thinking of going for Maxspeed for my daily after being recommended it by a senior workmate who has it on his WRX. I was wondering if the coilovers are still fine for you? Been hearing negative and positive things about it from different people.
@@pn-l1403 it's been about a year with them on and I've had no major issues other than the one sway bar link nut didn't want to stay tight, but a bit of loctite fixed it. I'm actually thinking about doing a 1 year review video on my channel since I haven't seen any reviews past the unboxing and installation.
@@MoldyStir-Fry Please do! I'm guessing you got them with the adjustable dampening option? The negative feedback I'm hearing about it while looking through comment or video reviews is that they can explode, not sure if it's because of extreme track use or something...
Not since they turned to wish centric videos and dropping all their legacy shows like d-List, wheelhouse, up to speed etc. Doesn't feel like donut anymore
Definitely check out cylinder 4 cooling mods unless you want another cylinder to leave during mid chat and possible blast plates for those five speed cases lol. Glad to see another season of hi/low
This sort of stuff is what's gonna make the Subarus so fun to watch them work on. Super weird and specific details. It's like Subarus were built in bizaro land
To the editor who did that sick split shot of Job stumping and taking the old coilover out at the same time so he could then catch it from the stump: I SEE YOU!
I got cheap coilovers off Amazon for my Mazda3. I knew it was a bad idea then and boy was I right. First, quality was very cheap, ride noise increased incredibly. Handling did improve but eff they are stiff. Way more stuff than any other coil over I've ever seen. And the front coilovers started leaking fluid within 4 months and were gone by 6.
I'm really confused, did I miss a video introducing the cars and this season of hi-low? For the first bit of this video I wasn't sure if this was actually hi-low or not. With that said, great to have it back for another season! Can't wait!
I agree. We need that animated intro. I guess they are still working on it. Since the motor blew up, maybe they are second guessing using old unreliable wrxs
Or maybe with the production/editing changes on this video an intro just straight up got missed/left out? Again, regardless, really excited for this season especially as the budget seems to be growing. Keep up the great work guys 🤘🏻
Just binge watched the Nissan Hi-Lo and I’m so ready to get into this one too !! THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH AWESOME SHOWS and for free to view ! ❤ legends
This format is great! Diving into identical ish parts and running scientific tests on them! The disection was definitely a huge bonus! Good stuff guys!
I feel like the series came back with a fresh new coat of paint! I'm excited to see what my favourite brand can show in quality at different price points!
Appreciate the angle you're coming from, but I think you'll find that since vehicles COME with stock coilovers, the choice of whether or not to replace them with stock ones is a bit redundant. Furthermore, HiLo is not about car restoration or maintenance. It's about choosing to go hard or tread carefully when it comes to buying modifications.
So happy to have this series back again! Always been a favorite, and it feels like the production quality has stepped up even higher. Looking forward to the next one :)
What’s up DM😎 my son and I have watched all of your videos from the beginning to current day and have laughed and learned a lot. We have an NB2 Miata that we bought the Maxrods for and they need to be refilled with the hydraulic fluid. The issue we are having and would love the help on is, we can’t find the correct fluid and specs to rebuild them. We even called the company and visited their site but there were no clear instructions on the subject. Thank you in advance and keep making some of our favorite videos 🤩
I feels so good having this series back with new cars
They will have a million more issues with these cars too lol.
yees you say it and wrx"s too
Yeah because its the only actually entertaining series they still do.....no some stupid wish parts test🤦
If they ever do this again I hope it's with a honda like a s2k maybe
Idk, I miss the Z's
I love this new style of High Low.
You got the explanation of the parts with Nolan and James.
You got the details of the install and specific details with Jobe
You got the tear down of the parts with Jeremiah
This feels like High Low, Money pit, and B2B all in one and I love it.
Love how this episode has everyone doing what they do best, Jobe explaining how to get things installed, Nolan and James looking good for the camera and Jerry explaining the sciency stuff

Has Donut ever considered doing a 24 hours of 🍋 car? It looks like it would be a cool series
yeah i agree, i mean just based off the fact that they are willing to put 30k+ worth of mods in a car i dont see why they wont make a new hi low series and mod cars to create a type of time attack car
Could potentially be the best car related series on TH-cam. Really great idea mam 👍
They already did it years ago
There first vid was on the 24 hours of lemons
Yessss do it

probably does sim racing alot

This guys are slowly but steadily generating a (classic) top gear vibe with their interactions between themselves. Congrats
Need more pranks. But i agree. They have great chemistry together. Which is 80% of a show.
This. This is what we need.

damn those likes, wish i had as many subs :D
totally necessary on an older Subaru, hell, my 2018 3.6R Outback needed a head gasket once when a year old or so

The video after that : real te's or rep te's

Lmao
We need to talk about the enormous jump in the quality of this show. Really impressive. Love it even more.

Anybody else notice that they pulled a set of KYB AGX’s with upgraded springs (FANTASTIC suspension combo) out of low car to put in the equivalent to hot dogs instead?
That hurts a lot.
Yeah that's insane
They should have never gotten rid of Aaron
@@Clean_Duners what happened to Aaron???
@@Clean_Duners what happened ??
I have a set of the maxspeeding coilovers on my ek. It is not a track car, but a daily driver. I Have about 5-6k's on them after about 2 year. I have had no issues with them and for the money they even have a fairly decent ride.
We're building a WRX too... we should have a race once they're done!
Yeah!
Love seeing all the hosts involved in this. This Hi-Lo series MIGHT be Donut at their best. As a Donut OG, this is beautiful to see.
Like everyone else seems to be saying. The production quality and overall skill you guys have as a team to make content and deliver time and time again really breaks my heart that you don't have a TV show that you have at least enough control over to write your own scripts and make your own mini series as you've been doing here just on television as well!
You guys deserve everything you have and then some. You seem like some really great people seriously.
TV is dead, man. This is the new TV.
@@andoletube oh 100% but id love to see them make even more revenue!
I honestly just have tv for background noise at this point.
I hope Nolan can get a chance to be the high car during a later season.
BROO the transitions between everybody are so seamless feel so natural!!! The production quality is top notch and the chemistry between everyone sublime. This is the quality i expect from donut !!!Good job to everybody at donut media !!
bRoOoO
the ruined outro @20:00 was legendary 😂
@@arushs121 hehehe bro bro
Can't give the team enough credit for the quality and visual style of the animations/illustrations. So awesome!
Production levels and overall quality of the videos just keeps getting better and better, you guys are killing it
I’m glad someone else noticed it too, it’s great seeing donut improve even more so much over the years
Never really seen these videos until now, super refreshing to see just a group of car guys be friendly and generally encouraging to one another lol. Subbed for sure
I love that Nolan had the fastest lap times, so proud of him
Love seeing everyone at donut improving their skills from the mechanics to how the videos are produced and edited
This is gonna be the best series to me and one I've been dying to see. Happy you guys are using 06-07 wrx's because that's my daily, thank you I really needed this smile more than I knew
Bro! Good for you man! this must be so exciting for you! I wish they did a Hi Lo on an acura tl 2006😅, or a Nissan 200sx 1985. (I got the 200sx from my grandma)
You make sure to have a good day today buddy, Everything will work out.
@@207HappyToBeHere thank you, I hope it does just sucks knowing I can't really work on cars that much without a lot of pain...yay spinal injuries
@@207HappyToBeHere I really do appreciate it though, thank you
I just got an 07 Impreza for my first car and I’m so hyped for this series!
the problem with things like ebaymotors/rock auto is that YOU have to know what you need. ALWAYS TYPE IN YOUR VIN!!!! This is why part houses are still functional. We can get you what you need. we aint mechanics but we're here to help.
NEW SEASON?!
God it took no time at all for me to binge every episode of Hi Lo and I'm so excited to see a WRX version. This series has given me enough confidence to get to building an S15 this winter!
I cannot wait for the engine mod phase to hear these beasts sing. Equally I will watch every episode between now and then. Plus the production on this is pretty sweet
sing more like blow up trash ass engines 4
@@Moe_z I’m terribly sorry my enthusiasm and support for the content has offended you
@@1991julez it did not ur cool I just think these cars have the worst engines and sound like fart cans
Lol go watch the latest video I called it
Hi Lo is back!
this is by far my favorite series on this channel, can't wait to see what you do to these subies
I love the return of this series, and I love how well constructed, informativce and entertaining they are. You guys seem to genuinely love making videos, and I can't get enough. Well done guys!!!!!
I daily a 06 STI with tein Flex z coilovers. They are around 800 for the set and a great midrange option. Same adjustability as the expensive ones. Ride real nice too. Excited to see what all you guys do to these bad boys. Keep up the good work.
I daily the same ones on a 350z and they ride great as well!
Slick editing! That bit where Zack is explaining how coil-over replacement works was really excellent.
You guys need to do a diesel hi/low. Make a hauler for all your track cars. Go for reliability, economy, power/torque, emissions and comfort. If you have a hardcore truck that sucks to drive, you wont want to use it to haul 12+ hours to a track and the drive your car. Might I suggest cummings. See how good a toy hauler you can make and still fall within California overly strict standards.
I love how this is explaining everything, and how it matters. This High Low season is gonna be AMAZING
The wrx is one of my all time favorites! So glad you are doing the new series with these!
Finally some older style donut content. Ive missed this so much.
You guys should really finish the season off by combining all the winning parts and running that against hi and low cars base to see if your picks will make the best bang for buck build
Damn good idea
Or my other idea penalty system everytime hi car blows a motor low car gets a hi car part lmfao
Omg this idea is so good for a finale
Sick idea
Just gotta say it breaks my heart that the production quality of the Forza Donut Media content was 1/100th the quality you guys deliver on a regular basis here...
Yeah so far it wasn't that great. Basically a half hour tutorial.
Blame the current staff of Playground Games. It's 100% clear that the original team that made FH1 is long gone and replaced by business bro's and trend chasers, not trend setters.
Supposedly there's supposed to be a part 2 to the update soon
@@dmitri546 if you suppose
@@dmitri546is that true?
This will be worth revisiting after a few thousand miles to see how they've held up. Also, worth mentioning that TEIN has a rebuild and technical support service, and Maxpeepee does not. Also, TEIN's dampers have EDFC compatibility.
Okay we get it you suck high cars dick 😂👋🏽
who tf calls technical support
@@chasemoneyy well if your damper is leaking oil, you could ask them if its alright to just seal it with tape or silicone sealing
Bro….hi-car is already broken 😂😂😂
I am so immeasurably happy that im getting the OG hi lo vibe from this and it is getting me really hyped to mod my car more, it is also inspiring me and making me happy to be in the car scene. Thank you donut media love you forever and always!!!
Likewise, I started thinking about all the other mods I could do to my car after watching this.
This season with these cars is feeling great! Super entertaining. Would be fun to see the donut team tackling some real team racing maybe time attack or something.
Love Hi Lo series n couldnt be more happier they are doing wrx's! I just dropped 9k into my 05 FXTs engine bay, from an iag closed deck shorty to grimmspeed lightweight crank pulley theres soo much you guys can do here, can't wait for next episode.
Nolan's lap time is genuinely impressive, pro driver only going 1 second faster. Never knew he was so fast, respect.
Edit: must work on consistency though haha
In low car, yes, but Nolan bested the pro driver by .5 sec in high car.
Love watching you guys build because you actually educate and make it super fun so you don't have to be a car expert to understand the video. Can't wait to see how these cars turn out.
One thing I've noticed about this car channel is it appeals to alot of women and people who are just car fanatics.. cool to see for sure
I love that they tease Nolan so much all the time yet he is always at the top end of every driving challenge. :D
He's at the top because of all the milk he drinks.
This updated format version of high low seems soooooo good! The educational information inbetween the known format is short but insanely interesting. Hope you keep this up in future videos !
I would HIGHLY recommend doing an oil pan upgrade. Wrx pans are known for starving in long corners, you can get an sti pan or a baffle kit, but that's probably what toasted the old motor. Do not get sticky tires before upgrading oiling
Anybody ever heard of Gecko Suspensions? When I bought my '10 MINI Cooper Clubman S it definitely needed a set of coilovers. After a bit of research I decided to go with a set of Geckos for about $1300. For that price they are the best set of coilovers I have ever bought. Since then I've gotten my Clubman to push about 320ish hp with a 4.3 0-60. The 60-120 is even more impressive, but where the car really shines is on the track. I have had and driven cars with Tein, Skunk2, Bilstein and KW Variants. My Geckos ride just as good and I'm proud to have them on my car. They really are a good set of coilovers. If your on a budget they are really hard to beat in my opinion. Great High/Low video. Love the new Boost Creep shirt. I had to go ahead and grab one before they sold out.
2:05 I love what y'all did there! He got knocked out by the coilover D;
Production value and flow is insane, you guys are killing it. Only gripe ... would have loved to see a rally hi low since we have already had a track one (they are WRXs after all!)
The quality of this video is immense, you guys must have put so much work into it. The visuals showing what you’re talking about especially is just really well done. Can’t wait to see more!
You boys deserve your own TV show honestly the best series I've seen in a long time
TH-cam is a tv show my dude lol. They make way more money this way
corporate networks ruin everything. This show would suck balls if it were on TV because the network would dictate what they do.
They do, they have a whole channel
This is better than TV, they’re able to make more money and dictate what they do without anyone else telling them how to do what.
The editing on this one won’t go unnoticed. Awesome work!
As an owner of cheap coilovers that made my car feel like I bolted the wheels right to the body... yes, more is better in this case 😄
How can I get coilovers for my car ? I can't find
@@babagandu literally amazon
Or eBay
For my drift forester I got racelands and they were a big improvement over stock
@@babagandu first off do some research there's usually an option that isn't expensive that won't turn the car overly stiff. Then you should just be able to google the name of the coil over and "buy"
So glad HiLow is back but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss Aaron on these
What happened to him?
@@rajivbeachoo3785 no idea tbh
They didn’t brought him back for this season. It wasn’t Aaron’s call…
@@punisherpr I recently came across his IG post on Reddit where he kinda explains his absence. Horrible decision by the bosses to part ways with him. Sucks :/
@@ivansanchez6070 Im pretty sure it’s the same post I read… it does suck bad…
I actually have Max Speeding Rods on my Cobalt SS, they're definitely a big improvement over stock parts, and it's not a track car, so for what I'm doing, they're just fine!
I'm still thinking of going for Maxspeed for my daily after being recommended it by a senior workmate who has it on his WRX. I was wondering if the coilovers are still fine for you? Been hearing negative and positive things about it from different people.
@@pn-l1403 it's been about a year with them on and I've had no major issues other than the one sway bar link nut didn't want to stay tight, but a bit of loctite fixed it.
I'm actually thinking about doing a 1 year review video on my channel since I haven't seen any reviews past the unboxing and installation.
@@MoldyStir-Fry Please do! I'm guessing you got them with the adjustable dampening option?
The negative feedback I'm hearing about it while looking through comment or video reviews is that they can explode, not sure if it's because of extreme track use or something...
@@pn-l1403 I have time tomorrow, maybe I'll record something and throw it on there for ya!
@@MoldyStir-Fry Looking forward to it! No rush 😂
Yes sir it’s a good day when donut media posts a video
Not since they turned to wish centric videos and dropping all their legacy shows like d-List, wheelhouse, up to speed etc. Doesn't feel like donut anymore
Only place where i don't actually skip the ads.
You dudes are UBER entertainment
Definitely check out cylinder 4 cooling mods unless you want another cylinder to leave during mid chat and possible blast plates for those five speed cases lol. Glad to see another season of hi/low
This sort of stuff is what's gonna make the Subarus so fun to watch them work on. Super weird and specific details. It's like Subarus were built in bizaro land
@@IRMacGuyver well that’s because they are haha. Just a minor insurance part to make sure cylinder four won’t get cooked again
To the editor who did that sick split shot of Job stumping and taking the old coilover out at the same time so he could then catch it from the stump: I SEE YOU!
I love this new approach in this series, theyre more into details and explaining things! Cant wait for the next episode!
I got cheap coilovers off Amazon for my Mazda3. I knew it was a bad idea then and boy was I right. First, quality was very cheap, ride noise increased incredibly. Handling did improve but eff they are stiff. Way more stuff than any other coil over I've ever seen. And the front coilovers started leaking fluid within 4 months and were gone by 6.
You guys really stepped up the presentation and production value. Great job
Mad props on the epic animations. Has anyone noticed how great the editing is in the videos? Superb content...
I'm really confused, did I miss a video introducing the cars and this season of hi-low? For the first bit of this video I wasn't sure if this was actually hi-low or not. With that said, great to have it back for another season! Can't wait!
I agree. We need that animated intro. I guess they are still working on it. Since the motor blew up, maybe they are second guessing using old unreliable wrxs
Or maybe with the production/editing changes on this video an intro just straight up got missed/left out? Again, regardless, really excited for this season especially as the budget seems to be growing. Keep up the great work guys 🤘🏻
Just binge watched the Nissan Hi-Lo and I’m so ready to get into this one too !! THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH AWESOME SHOWS and for free to view ! ❤ legends
I wonder if they had a new production manager. This is new stuff✨
My thoughts exactly!
Yo Nolan’s progression makes me feel like I can get past my own plateaus!
I gotta give it to the editors and donut crew for making these videos so well made. Honestly great to watch
This show gets even better every season
Each iteration just keeps getting better! Idk how you managed to fit so much track time and educational information in that time frame, but well done!
Good job boys! Makes me feel a lot better about getting a set of MaxSpeedingRods for my '05 tC lol
Im happy you guys brought this series back! Especially with some Subies ✌
This format is great! Diving into identical ish parts and running scientific tests on them! The disection was definitely a huge bonus! Good stuff guys!
I feel like the series came back with a fresh new coat of paint! I'm excited to see what my favourite brand can show in quality at different price points!
I love this series. But it would have been cool if you'd have done the analysis on the OEM shocks/struts too, so we could see the overall difference.
Appreciate the angle you're coming from, but I think you'll find that since vehicles COME with stock coilovers, the choice of whether or not to replace them with stock ones is a bit redundant. Furthermore, HiLo is not about car restoration or maintenance. It's about choosing to go hard or tread carefully when it comes to buying modifications.
So happy to have this series back again! Always been a favorite, and it feels like the production quality has stepped up even higher. Looking forward to the next one :)
What’s up DM😎 my son and I have watched all of your videos from the beginning to current day and have laughed and learned a lot.
We have an NB2 Miata that we bought the Maxrods for and they need to be refilled with the hydraulic fluid. The issue we are having and would love the help on is, we can’t find the correct fluid and specs to rebuild them. We even called the company and visited their site but there were no clear instructions on the subject.
Thank you in advance and keep making some of our favorite videos 🤩
