I snapped a bolt trying to torque the rear control arm bolts to 88.5ft*lbf. For both bolts the correct torque is 59ft*lbf.
It might be good to go over measuring shock body length compared to stock so people know how to get the exact drop they want. Given your coil overs have an adjustable shock body.
We have a how-to video which goes over how to measure the suspension and how to set the ride height. ua-cam.com/video/4BNt36sNOTU/v-deo.html
Just in time for my upcoming coilover install!
Please double check your torque spec figures. The service manual says all rear lower control arm nuts EXCEPT for the sway bar end link and the headlight sensor nuts should be tightened to [59 ft*lbf]. The end link nut is 28 and the headlight sensor 5.5 ft lbf.
In my whole life ive never torque anything and yet my car has been holding solid
@@Raysandeater You're irresponsible with your car and your comment is anecdotal af lol.
@@Forlore that’s most people tbh not everyone has s torque wrench
Hope tom is doing ok in the military... 😪
i don’t even think he went to the military
Just bought the FR-Spec, they’ll be my first set of coilovers. Can’t wait, I hope they’re worth it.
Are they worth it? Ive been looking into getting my first set
@Tyler Guard It’s a huge difference from stock, but at same time perform a whole lot better. Super easy install if you follow the video step by step. I’m glad I went for these instead of Tein Flex Zs.
@@Avatar512793 are the springs linear?
Romario Smith Yes
it’s been 10 months , how are they? are they really worth it ? just asking cuz looking for coils
The rear suspension install is not specific enough: the axle carrier should be jacked up until the drive shaft is parallel with the ground before tightening to spec. (See service manual)
When will y’all be restocking the OLM VL taillights ft86edition?
Did you have to modify/roll fenders? Also what's the wheel size/offset and tire size and camber? Ohh and is there any rubbing?
I love this look
So how are you supposed to adjust camber when the plate is facing forward after install ?
Thomas, when you drop your car from from factory height with coilovers. Its ok to use oem endlinks? I cant see how that works cuz the oem endlink is long and the car has been lowered. Wouldnt you need aftermarket adjustable endlinks to compensate for the amount of inches lowered?
Its never a bad idea to use adjustable endlinks, however it depends also how much you drop the car. This will mostly depend on how low you go, however for our coilovers as they are not super low you can use stock, but if you go much lower it would not be a bad option to upgrade to adjustable units.
@@factionfab5834 thx FF
Frz86 will always be the universal term for me💀
What about loosening all the bolts connected to bushings and putting them in their most neutral position?
On the website for the FR spec it says the rear can only be lowered to 1.9 and the front can be lowered to 2.4. Which one is right?
FR-Spec will have a maximum lowering ability on the front of 2.4" and on the rear of 1.9".
FactionFab thanks just made my purchase and can’t wait to install🔥🔥
@@fernandopulido8216 thanks for the order! We have video to show how the coilovers are adjusted and also have specifications of how to measure the adjustment. This should cover majority of questions that people have. But if you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to FT86SpeedFactory or ourselves. ua-cam.com/video/4BNt36sNOTU/v-deo.html
It took me HOURS getting the front endlinks off... Rusted as fuck under there. Not easy with only hand tools!
Do you ever check your customer service emails. Still waiting on stuff that was never shipped.
We are currently working as fast as possible through all our emails. Its pretty busy currently and we are trying to get back to our normal response time. Sorry for the inconvenience Luis.

I got wheels sent and never them received 🙂 I got a 225 dollar credit on rpf1s not even 1/4 of the money I lost my car sat on jacks for awhile since I took tpms sensors out
Gabriel didn’t have that happen but I believe it with what happen to me sucks to expect something since you pay for it and then have this happen to us
FT86SpeedFactory I have been emailing you guys about part that never came and haven’t received a response in almost a week.
@@FTspeed so your saying we have to continue waiting just so you can get to the customer service emails, only then to have to wait even longer for you to ship out the order you were suppose to send out a month ago? Thats not Good business.
what a nice coilover
my friend and I are facing a problem where we cant get the lower control arm back into place, the holes don't line up properly for us to put the bolt back into place... We have to push the whole assembly outwards in order to move the LCA in the right direction but even then it doesn't seem to be enough
Are you only working on one side of the car at a time? Try to unbolt the endlink from both sides as this can cause a lot of tension causing you to not be able to line things up.
@@FTspeed Hey thanks so much for the reply! We took the OEM suspension off both sides so I don't think that was causing the issue... in the end we just had two of us pulling the lower control arm outwards while I pushed it into place and that worked... in the tein basis installation video I saw that the LCA just pretty much got wiggled into place. Maybe just having one of us wasn't strong enough or something haha, everything seems good now though, just need to get an alignment done and I think it's good to go :D
Is this coilover good for daily driving ? I just bought one :D
How does the FR-Spec spring rate compare to the OEM suspension?
Sick video as always!
Noob question, when lowering the car, don't you need adjustable end links? The end links in the video looks to be oem length.
Steven Wong you don’t NEED to get aftermarket ones but it’s easier to work with new ones and it will allow your sway bar to be in the factory positioning when you lower the car so it does it’s job correctly
Gonna watch this in the future again because im too young to get my license
How do these (FR-Spec) compare to Tein flex Z in terms of durability/miles?
How many miles should I expect from either of these coilovers?
Edit: I'm reading the comments about ft86 customer service. Guys they aren't that bad. Honestly and I'm a horrible customer, I harrassed them about nearly every part I've purchased from them. They answered every single one of those questions. Please be patient.
Generally speaking, it's hard to say "how long". Reason being is it depends heavily on the environment that the car is driven in, and how the coilovers are treated. So-Cal with smooth roads, no track days, an no exposure to dirt/Sand/Salt, they can last for the life of the car. But if you drive in the salt, off-road or in harsh conditions, always bottoming out the coilover and never washing them, you can't expect them to last longer then a few years (or any other suspension for that matter). With that said, our coilovers come with a 1 year warranty and if something ever happens we do offer replacement components such as struts for sale individually.
@@factionfab5834 thank you for the reply.
What size wheels are you running in this video. Want to know what I can clear
they are 18 x 9.5 with a +38 offset
Is that all around?
I need this for my car
How do you know how much to tighten the bolts
Can I buy the use coilovers in the car before the install?
What's wrong with stock?
Can the springs be swapped for swift springs? Would rather a liner spring tbh.
ik this is an old comment but yes you can swap the springs to whatever length / spring rate
What brand are the rear control arms on the car(red)?

I wish i can buy them one day
any promotions for 86 days?
Some coilovers come with sway bar end links are you required to install them too ? Or can you use the factory ones and be fine ?
it depends on the design of the coilover where it mounts, if it doesnt come with it its prob a good idea to get them cause other wise the end link will either be too long or too short depending on how low you wanna run it. if you wanna go real low or slammed you'd need em if you wanna retain the use of your stock sway bar. if you chance it and you end up not being able to get the stocks installed then you can run without them until you order some adjustable ones, you'll be fine but the cars gonna feel like crap during spirited driving since they obviously link both struts to each other
side swiped Forsure thank you for the information
Do we need an alignment after installing coilovers
You should get an alignment anytime you change the height of the car.
thanks mate :))
what tires are on those wheels?
RE71R 255/35/18
I wrote an email and try calling. I haven't received a tracking number ive been waiting over a week I'm still waiting on my items to arrive.
What are the camber plate specs?
Nice video🎉
Anyone have these installed care to share how they feel about them?
Torque wrench ASMR?
22.1 and 33.2 ft/lbs torque specs tho...
beware. wrong torque specs on rear lca
How long does it takes to install coilovers?
9 hours with two people and jacks
Took me 5 hours/ 2 people
With 40 mins break in total.
how’s that the lowest setting there’s still a good amount of threading left
Good question. Reason it is the lowest is that on the rear for example, the shock body is bottomed out in the shock mount. Meaning there is no room to lower the shock any farther.
You torqued the bolts before you put the suspension under the weight of the car.
Can I buy these and you guys can install them for me lol
Brett Collins no one asked.
The wheel cowowo
snapped a bolt trying to torque the front bolt to 129.. guys please don’t trust this guy he’s out to snap your bolts
Second 😬
Wouldve never bought these coilovers if I knew you needed a friend to be able to put them in. Now I have to be social and try to make a friend. Its gonna take me months until I'm able to put these in. This is bull
First
Wait you just went from properly engineered coilovers (ride height adjusted via the spring perch) to these 3 piece marketing gimmicks? 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
So I have a question how do you know to adjust the coilovers to drop 1 in or 2 in
Depends how low you want to go. I'd say get your tape measure out and try a couple different ride heights.
@@FTspeed i just want an inch and half
