Should be jacking the rear suspension to ride height before tightening the bolts where there are bushings or you will really twist them leading to premature failure.... (unless GM does this different than other mfgs I guess)
some aftermarket high peformance buyers sometimes go high performance manufacturer suggested performance parts or sometimes they use aftermarket after factory performance parts to look for more ride firmness & more tunability. the springs in general from factory performance stock can be adjusted even from assembly though aftermarket OEM high performance have more tuning for more firmness compliance with stiffer spring ratio. no spring even from factory should be compressed too much as that causes too much ride firmness therefore springs that have at least a milimeter or more in factory spec should fix things. don't tighten springs too much even in after market tuning either for spring life endurance
Hi. Thank you for the video. I followed all steps as you described and It helped me a lot the only problem that I have now is I can't lineup lower trailing arm with the hole, it sits approximately 1 inch away from it. Can you tell me what should I do to be able lineup trailing arm and finish assembling? Thank you!
We have not tested the springs on a magnetic ride control car yet. We do know that the springs measure the same size but the spring rates are different for the MRC cars.
Watched this video multiple times , installed h&r mrc springs from you guys and I have a clunking noise on the front springs . How do I get rid of it... ?
I know this is an old video but my guess is the 18mm bolt on top of the hat of the front coil spring isn’t tight enough. Made this mistake on a spring instal and just tightened the top bolt on the strut and it was perfect Hopefully this helps others
Anyone else notice the mechanic seems to get the words "nuts" and "bolts" mixed up with each other? Also, doesn't the mechanic believe in torquing everything down to manufacturer specifications?
@@shanebali5427 yes you either need a special tool which they didn't tell you about or what j did was take Channel locks and a towel and clamp the strut
This video waa spot on. Just watched it as I installed eibach springs on mine. Surprisingly the rear gave me more trouble than the front.

Good video. I wonder if the magnetic ride control suspension still working normally after that installation.

Its hard to say what the issue could be. I would suggest going back over all the bolts and making sure they are all tight.
Same thing on mine, what can it be? Did you find the reason why?

Any Torque specs for any of these suspension bolts?
does it need aligned after words ?
We do suggest having the alignment checked because there will be some adjustment that will be needed.
Phastek Performance thanks man! need to order next week
how is the ride quality
Is there a coilover install on the 6th gen camaros anywhere on the internet?????? lol
Not that we know of. The suspension set up is the same the only thing that will need to be adjusted is the ride height.

i have a 2015 ss camaro do you have a video for that install?
Here is a link to the video we have for the 5th Gen.

do you have a kit for the 2.0 version?
Not yet. We do plan on testing a car as soon as we can.
Why did GM make the stock springs so high. First thing I noticed on the New Camaro.
My strut spins when i try and unbolt their boot of the top strut piece
Same thing on mine, did you happen to figure out why?

What about torque specs
Unfortunately we do not have the torque specs for the suspension components.
Do you guys know now?

They are not under pressure. Just tight so they hold everything together. ... impact it for 5 seconds after its tight
