      I have Skunk2 springs and will be extending my top hats to be a better fit for stock struts.
      My wife ended up having a major health issue related to her pregnancy, so we ended up spending a week in the hospital. Both she and our new son are safe, just a huge pause to time and funds for the time being.
      Once our boy comes home, I will resume work. Till then, I just watch your channel to stay calm and sane! Thanks for what you do!

    I had MXR coilovers on my silver Legacy for a year and beat the crap out of them during hard driving in 2018, and I currently have them in my wagon, and have done hard touge runs in the summer of 2019 and still hard at times now. I'm in the Northeast, well in the rust land (CT). They are still holding up. Cheers!

  • @spiffydudex

    I did a 14 hour Enduro in November with these coil-overs after your initial review.
    They are great, cheap coil-overs. For harder racing applications, the spring rates are a little too soft.
    I'm currently running a Civic Wagon that has been stripped and gutted and installed a 22 gallon fuel cell in the passenger area directly above the rear wheels and forward. The time for the weight to transfer and load the coil before accelerating in the turn is monstrous. I may run one more enduro on them but I will be looking for a stiffer setup. We do not have a rear Sway/Traction bar installed though as we need to custom fab mounts for ours.

    I have a set of the basic coilovers on my 1998 VW Golf. It is not a track car , but it is a daily driver. I have about 5-6k's on them after about a year. I have had no issues with them and for the money they even have a fairly decent ride. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to save some money but wants something other than lowering springs

    My rear driver side leaked out after about a year (12,000 miles I think) in SoCal daily all street. I have the older version with out the adjustable damper, Even with that said I wouldn't complain. They still feels great and for the price, I get what I paid for.

    Not planning on using them for the track but just to add a little bit of low to my daily driver. These seem like a good coilover for people that don't want to spend half of their car's value on some nice coils.

    Thanks for the update video. Convinced me to buy a set for my miata. Anything is going to be better than what I have now. Bought it with some lowering springs installed on crappy struts. Tired of not even being able to get into a shopping center with high speed bumps. I have great shocks on my offroad truck. Suspension can get very expensive, dropped close to 4k on the truck. Just not ready to spend 1k on suspension for my daily driving to work miata.

    On a double wishbone system, the shock shaft only receives vertical plane forces (plunging in and out). On a Macpherson kind of system there are high lateral loads as well. I'd bet that cheaper companies have more issues with cars like a DC5 than a DC2.

      Just saw these, my bad. After seeing other videos and reading how they're too stiff/bouncy and can blow out.. I decided to go with a Vogtland spring/strut kit, and Vogtland makes a fantastic product. Our potholes up here would wreck these maxpeedingrods. Or your alignment.
      Sorry to disappoint. If you can make sure you have preload no matter what you purchase. Don't buy koni orange struts and lowering springs. Trust me.

    I have a set of these on my FG2 and couldn't be happier. Have a set of Twin Flex Z on my 99 Integra and I feel these are every bit as good. They have about a year or 2 of use now here in the Appalachian Mountains of WV seeing road salt and really rough roads every now and again and they have held up great. I have always been a fan of Tein's Flex Z set up but these cam with my FG2 and I'm kind of digging them. Not bouncy at all. Tight and pretty crisp. I jva belittle to no body roll in curves. We have some pretty intensely windy roads out here and they hold up great. IF I have to replace these I will say I am going with a set of Tein buuuuuuut these still rock for now hahaha.

    I have the maxspeeding adjustable coiloverS, gsr front sway bar, itr rear say bar, full energy bushing kit on my 93 coupe. They work great had them for about three months. Only things I would say they could improve is the spring isolator bushing is kinda soft on the top. Also the fronts have a weird lower rubber ring that kinda just falls apart so I removed it. Also the shock adjustment knobs could have a better feel as the can be hard to tell the clicks. I made sure all my preload was equal and they ride pretty good. Also I just used the ef front forks on my ej2 so I didn’t have to use the metal sleeve. I daily my car on them and love them so far

    Just got my set for my 95 Civic , thanks for the review. Great info and the video cam inside the wheel well was perfect. I have a pair for my Daily 98 Corolla and I have it maxed out lowered and rides nice soft. On the Civic I'll run it stiffer.. I don't track so for the street it should do the job. The price was great for them. I had a pair of Godspeeds on my previous stolen car and those ran me $660 . These Maxspeeds should compete with those at its lower price.

    Good day! I live in Russia, I have a Toyota Altezza car, an analogue of your Lexus IS 300, I have Coilovers, from Japan, They have already passed 100k, maybe more, I won’t say for sure, it costs about $ 150-250 to service them, so I’m thinking , over buying just such Chinese coilovers, I've been watching this video for 1 year now, what do you say, maybe you still ride them !? And will they survive on my rear-wheel drive car, which sometimes likes to drift a little around town!

      I'd recommend rebuilding yours if it's less expenses than buying a new set, especially if you already enjoy how yours perform. Sounds like you've had them for a long time too so you could count on them lasting a long time again. That's the route I would go.

    Ive put these on my turbo dc2 and after couple months of weekend use the stiffness went away and just acted like I was on stock suspension lots of body roll and the rear swaying side to side. I've checked them over no leaks or major concerns. After examining found the top nut that holds the top hat to the strut was loosen all the way which was very dangerous so luckily we caught it early. We fix that but still same issues. Be careful guys.

      Garage Built Hondas i finally installed them today on my 99 prelude. Its weird bc i had the fronts adjusted all the way down(as low as i can go, till the bottom sleeve hit the bottom of the shock assembly) and it still sits higher than the rears. I didn’t want to mess or adjust the preload either as that could be problematic. Any tips? I was going to adjust the rears to raise it up to match the front, but i was hoping for at least a finger and a half gap between the tires and fenders on all four.
      As it sits, the front has a loose 3 finger gap, the rears have non. It looks goofy. Please help!

      Garage Built Hondas yep 10k fronts and 8k rears. Ive already sent the company an email about this, but doubt I’d get an answer till next week. Its frustrating as hell. My old tein springs with oem shocks were atleast an even drop all around. I debated on buying new shocks to mate with these tein springs but for the price, I figured I’d give these a try since it would be way cheaper. I’m stumped lol. Another video on youtube where a guy in Australia installed these in his camry experienced the same thing. This sucks man lol. Other than that, they ride pretty stiff. There are no dampening adjustments on this set.
