Still Working On It Flag jdmgeek.com/pr...
Just installed the T6's on my integra.They are a huge step up from blown stock struts. They ride better than any of the cheap coilovers I have experienced.
Were yours noisey too or no??
@@Rawrkee a little, getting a popping from driver side similar to your noise but mine isn't the same style tophat. I gotta get it on a lift to figure out what's going on. Still the ride quality is better than expected
i have em, drove great, had to get wheel spacers
@undeadexile2485 how do they ride and how low are you?
@@jcutztv so far they ride good. I have the dampening at 14 clicks of 24. The car doesn't bottom out or ride rough on the horrible roads here. I have them bottom out up front and a inch up in the rear to level it. It's around 5 inches from ground to subframe.
Hey I just installed these yesterday and I have no problem. They ride amazing. But I think I know what your issue was. From the factory they don't tighten the pillow ball nut they leave it loose and tighten the spring perch up so you can't tell if you don't check. You have to lower the spring purse so there's no preload at all in the top hat will fall down to where it should be and you will see exposed threads underneath the pillow ball nut in between the nut and the pillow ball sorry and you should tighten that nut down all the way and then set your spring preload if I can upload pictures I'll upload a couple to show you.
Can you show me, mine are so tight and i don’t think it came with dampening setting, and the nut turns when you ratchet it.
Exactly. Those who fail to do this always complain about noise from these affordable twin-tube coilovers but they do work well for the money. They Just won't last as long as say Godspeed mono tube SS or RS coilovers but monotube is much stiffer on street
Higher spring rate is needed on the front struts because of the added engine weight together with the body weight.
thanks for clarifying bro!
Pleasure bro, that's just a basic explanation. It also has to do with spring rebound based on the weight, etc. I'm sure you could Google a more definitive explanation.
Maybe on the civic or front wheel drive Caras front is higher then rear. On ally bmw through put different brands , it's either higher in the rear and lower up front. Usually the cheaper ones is the same up and front around 8 k.
555! 😂 “nuts..”. The unboxing was very descriptive in each part. I like the coffee test ride and the fact you did the adjustment. Ending the video with personal pro and cons from start to finish will sure give an insight to help a lot of people. Thanks for your videos Rocky! Keep it up and SABAIDI PI MAI! 🎉 🍻
Thanks bro! I appreciate your feedback!
He laughed at "nuts" but not "shaft" lmao
Your description about the inconveniences of the hardware is the same reason why I eventually gave up on usig one of their Turbo's. The flange onf the back of the turbine housing was thicker than oem which meant you couldn't get a socket on to the up pipe bolt and they used a different thread on the oil port so I couldn't use any oem banjo bolt and they ofcourse didn't include a banjo bolt and wouldn't supply one either.
Damn this is a badass overview and review of these new coils. You’re like the MKBHD of reviewing car parts! More content like this plz!
awww, stop ettttt :]
Just ordered mine for my New Edge Mustang GT. Wanted a budget coil-over that wasn’t complete trash, you helped me make an informed decision 👍
You’re welcome! My advice is to double check everything before installing. Grease the pillow ball joints, manually set the pre-load, and make sure everything it tightened
have u had any issues with them? ive heard about the rear shocks being to long
@@kaikai312 I’ve yet to install them as they just came in recently but from what I can tell they are pretty nice for the money.
Now the ones you are talking about are the 1st gen shocks from them, usually in the anodized bright colors. Those are a little cheaper than these 2nd gen ones and they are pretty hit or miss. The 1st gens are the ones that you can get a bad batch of rear shocks that were too long. I read in places that if you do get some, just contact MaxSpeedingRods and they will ship you the correct rears. Kind of a hassle but at least they take care of it.
@@zeekfarrongaming5302 thank u
@@kaikai312 update for you.
Finally got them installed. They are certainly better made than the cheaper gen 1 anodized ones.
As for the ride quality, if you’re looking for comfort, these ain’t it. Even on the softest damping, they’re still pretty stiff. So if you daily your car, I wouldn’t recommend it as city streets with large bumps or potholes are going to be hell on you and your car.
Overall I’d give them a 4 out of 5
Anyone saying that they're trash has no idea what they're talking about. 90% of the time it's the install. You have to go over every single nut in bolt because you never know what the factory has done or hasn't done. But I hope this helps you figure out your issues so you can put these back on your car.
Installed mine last week car was same way loud and clunking whent back added 5mm of preload and snug down top nut and fixed it today
Nice bro!! Did you add a little bit of grease to the pillow joints?
Great review, the coffee test is a good idea
I'm retired 70 and still working on my honda prelude. Starts fine , but shuts down when put into gear. Smoke coming out of air filter. No bueno. If I fix will get new shocks
Different spring rate to compensate for driver and battery weight.
What would you recommend for 2001 IS300 for autocross and occasional daily?!
AWESOME VID BRO!!
Thanks bro!
I can't recommend any brands because maxpeedingrods is the only coilovers I've ever tried myself, brand new. However, if you wanna give them a shot, there are 4 variations: SNA, SLC, SP1, SP2.
the SP1 is the highest performance coilover available for your car right now and its the one featured in this video.
I have an updated video on maxpeedingrods that will walkthrough on setting up these coilovers, you can check it out here
SP2 review ua-cam.com/video/ZSkDFOzj7EM/v-deo.html
SP1 for IS300 www.maxpeedingrods.com/product/maxpeedingrods-24-ways-damper-adjustable-coilover-kit-for-lexus-is300-2001-200513.html
The reason they are different spring rate is for the spring pressure being put on them which means they need to be just a bit stiffer for the front that is my guess
They got dampener adjustment and camber plates???? For $400 that’s crazy 😮
The knocking is almost definitely the top nut not being fully tightened or another nut/bolt not fully tight. Something is knocking metal to metal.
Yes, that was exactly the issue :D
@@Rawrkee Good to know. The quality on this new series does look nice.
@@802Garage yupp!! They have a new series coming out too, can’t wait to check them out
@@Rawrkee I work with MXR so I'll be getting some sets eventually. Just actually need time to install them, hahaha.
The coffee test sold me 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Thanks bro.
BANG.. BANG BANG.. thats why I’m looking to replace my HR Race Springs with Koni Yellow Struts with either Bilstein B8 Struts and new mounts "700.00" or coil-overs, which ill probably use Riceland's
Thank you My last shocks from amazon were Garbage Thank you
Get them from BC Racing or TEIN
Gonna put them on my 08 si
I got them coilovers and that noise is the top bolt where the adjustable dampening us at. For some reason maxpeeding rods never really tighten that bolt
Were yours super loud too?
Same thing I found as well I wish I did a video on them for UA-cam but I don't have a channel like yours but once you rectify that that is probably your problem You should make an updated video because you're making them look bad when they're really not bad coilovers they actually ride extremely well You can make them soft and cushy if you want or very hard and aggressive I really like them hopefully they last though that's the question
@Rawrkee did you try tightening the bolt /Nutt 🔩 😂? The world wants to know
Dope review
keep up the great vids
Thanks bro, I shall!
Wow, awesome video! Thank you very much! I'm looking for coilovers for my 2014 S197 mustang for autocross/daily.
Great video. FYI Mk8 means 8th generation
Awesome, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! And I see, thanks for the clarification !!!
Oh, I forgot hope you and your familia have a great new year
Happy new year bro!
How’s the prelude? Need more Lude content maybe a pov drive
Lets just say, no news is good news 😂 I know its been awhile since I've dropped some Prelude content, I'll work on some soon!
Hmm i have no idea why the heaver end of the car would have heavier spring weaight
How did these ride compared to the original 24 way damping adjustment maxpp rods
Lol awesome video bro. That coffee test had me laughing 😂 really good information. 👍
Thanks bro!! Glad you enjoyed the vid!
U didn’t install right in rear that’s why they were making so much noise check the rear springs
The rears only go in one way, you can’t flip the spring perch and spring. The noise was due to loose top hat nuts on the front coilovers. Once I tightened them, they rode very nicely
@@Rawrkee you should make an update video
6:17 the coffee test reminds me of a certain trueno
MK8=8th gen. Using MK as a prefix for generation is common in the British Commonwealth countries, UK, Australia, New Zealand etc.
yes, that makes sense now :D
for a daily driven car out ot 24 click from soft to bottom what setting would you recommend?
I prefer the higher side, so about 16-18 clicks because I don’t like the bounciness you get from the soft damper
Why do I feel like something is loose even doe every thing is right!! When I go over Bumps or just a regular speed bump .?!
Did you preload the springs? The clunking sounds like they are not preloaded.
No, I reused the new springs. I manually set the preload by hand tightening them and adding another 6mm of tension
What grease did you use for the joints?
I have some D2 Racing RS Full Coilovers and let me tell you the ride on those are so soft I love it . These Max Coilovers look bad ass ! I hope the ride isn’t to bumpy !
Did you really down grade that much?
Keep d2 lol 100 times better than this shit
@@bananabreadcombs6598 Never had Max Coil Overs, they do seem better then mine!
I want to love them but I'm not entirely sold on them just yet. Before installing these coilovers, I did replace the Ball Joints... That may be the reason why they're so noisey. I'm planning on making a video of me reinstalling my old coilovers to see if they're just as noisey, that way I'll know for sure if it's the ball joints or the new coilovers
@@Rawrkee did you do it yet
I have a Honda CRV 2015. What are your recommendations for good coillovers
I have no idea, I suggest checking out rockauto.com as they rate their produce based on economy, daily driver, and performance. they even heart the popular products in each category. hope you figure it out!
whats up love your videos bro so i search up this coils but if you look on the bottom of the page it said not for si
I think they mean not for the Mugen Si, because it does say for the FG2 and that is the Si coupe.
those sound very loud on the camera, it is like that for real? you isolated it to the pillowball? it just doesnt sound right in the video
I hate to say it but yes, it’s very loud. I swapped back my old maxpeedingrods and they’re significantly quieter. The clunks are pretty much non existent on the old ones so maybe I just got a bad set of the new coilovers ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@Rawrkee that’s unfortunate. I hope they comped you this set. I’d like to find out if they are loud for the older civics.
They’re loud in this video because he didnt tighten down the top pillow ball nut on the front struts, had the same issue on mine when I first installed them on my e36
Do u recommend them for someone who wants to lower their car at 16
I wanna get the maXpeedingrods Street 24-WAY Damper Coilover Kit for Honda Accord 1998-2002
These coilovers tend to come from the factory a little loose but if you’re willing to double check everything: greasing the pillow ball joints, preload, and tightening down the bolts then these will def treat you right. In this video, I didn’t tighten down the top hat nut good enough and that caused the loud clunking noise. Once I tightened it, it rode quietly
I tried this but it keeps honking as soon as I put the key it is the wire to long?
Sound like a old jeep or a truck with the bumps hell know I have 70 dollars eBay coil over in my CRX and no a sound when I hit any bumps I love them I think the springs are to stiff for a light car in my opinion is nice to enjoy the ride not to jump around like a Mexican beens really hell no I stay with my eBay cheap coil over over the t6 crap
your link is not working.
Front engine, that's why the rate is higher for the front
When we collabing
I'm ready when you're ready 🙌🙌🙌
@@Rawrkee my car is almost done
Not a fan of the coils from this company. Springs and decent shocks ride better
the gen 1 coilvoers road much better than these new ones BUT I'm suspecting that the new ball joints I installed COULD be the problem
I learned the hard way. I’d would have rather spent more money got fourtune auto or something. They probably last twice as long. Max didn’t other me any compensation for poor quality. Bad company
So much clunking.. I’m gonna pass on these coilovers. And save my money for better coilovers
yeah bro, it's kind of annoying because the gen 1 coilovers weren't noisey at all, not to where it bothered me BUT I did just install Ktuned Ball Joints right before installing these coilovers. I'm planning on swapping back the gen 1 coilovers to see if they're just as noisey, that way I can see if it's the new ball joints OR the new coilovers
Like u said cheap.
Save ur money
Truuuu but I've never had any nicer coilovers and so I can't tell if they're THAT bad compared to the more pricey brands
How can you say It is a brutally honest review if you are clearly sponsored by maxpeepee rods?
Did you even watch the review?
@@Rawrkee regardless of your opinion the fact that you have a discount code and are clearly associated with the company shows that you have some sort of bias good or bad
@@AHS_motorsport so what? If you watched the review, I literally laid out a lot of negative things about the product
Mk8. Mark 8. 8th Gen. Smfh.
I think the 8th gen civic is referred as MK8 overseas, its the funny looking one, the FN2 I think
No 8th gen meaning the 8th generation of civic made from 06-12. Has nothing to do with where in the world it is. Just that it was made from 06-12 making it the 8th iteration of the civic chassis.
@@jc0326 you’re missing the point. The 8th gen civic in Japan is fd1/fd2, Europe fn1/fn2, China I guess mk8, America fa1/fa5.
Chassis codes and generatation numbers are totally different things homie.
@@jc0326 of course, that’s why they’re different but they’re all based on the same civic that’s why mk8 is listed on these coilovers
Trash do not buy
At first, I was actually disappointed with these but I figured out to fix the loud clunks. I haven’t posted an updated video but they ride really good now
@@Rawrkee how did you make the ride quieter?
@@antoniorosa8638 just make sure to tighten down the top hat nuts and it’ll rider perfectly 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@Rawrkee How do you fix clunks
Lol. The things people say when they are given things for free or are paid. No one wants to hear that shit when they drive.
This is coffee; 🤮
save your money... those coilovers are TRASH. waste of money!!!!!
What coilovers do you recommend?
Why though
@@Rawrkee don't buy coils if you don't have money. Eibach springs + bilstein b8. Bilstein b14 or kw v1 if you want "cheap" coils. They are high quality and will last the life of the car. As they say in my country, the one who buys cheap spends 2 times.
@@Rawrkee isc coilovers
What uuup! Time for the coffee test *bring out a fine hazy IPA
Bruhhh, have you ever tried Hazy Little Thing? that's one of my fav
