How to Install Race Suspension on Your Car: AUDI R8
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 лип 2018
- This is the step by step guide of what it takes to install JRZ RS Pro's on a 2009 Audi R8. We removed the original magnetic ride because the shocks were leaking badly and the JRZ's are cheaper and more reliable than stock OEM parts. We also painted the calipers is pearl red, changed the oil, and aligned the R8 before my trip home. This process was crazy fun to film, hope you enjoy the video! -L

I work on R8's. There is nothing simple about an oil change. It is not a 4 cylinder A4. Glad you went into the details about checking the oil level and how to correctly check it. All were spot on. Would like to add that the drain plug at the rear of the engine near the cross member is a difficult one to get out without the special 8mm triple square tool that Audi offers. Really like your ride. Tastefully done.
That shop knows what they are doing!
i love how you made them feel special by signing the reservoir.respect.
"Yes honey i HAD to put the race suspension in, the old one was broken!"
Always love how thorough your videos are, it might sound weird but it’s relaxing to listen to you explain. ✌🏼
MiddleEasternGuy 100% agreed with how calm Larry’s explanations are lol
AMMO ASMR
Right?
Larry's face when he saw the dirt lol cool stuff as always
Wow those guys are real pros at what they do. I love how thorough the mechanics were in getting the job done right, those are my kind of people. If only I could afford such craftsmanship. Larry you are one hard working dude that deserves this sort of service. I also appreciate how much credit and spotlight you give to your fellow professionals, it really shows the appreciation that you have for real craftsmen.
I check youtube every day for a new AMMO video. Larry you are straight killing it man, keep it up. I can watch your detailing videos for hours.
That is a seriously impressive shop. I love seeing high quality custom fabrication. It's like magic lol.
R8 looking sick larry.
mynameisray "Better car" is entirely subjective. No one car is better at everything, it's all about what the person wants to experience. For some, an 800hp car that is only useful for highway pulls is better to some, and would generally get more internet cred, but some would much prefer to drive a car with 200hp that is more dynamic and handles the way they want it to. Larry fell in love with the Audi R8 ten years ago, and spent time waiting for the car that was perfect FOR HIM to come up for him to purchase. He worked hard towards his dream, which is probably a whole lot more than you will ever do.
A Civic is much cheaper (to buy, insure, tax, and repair/replace parts), more economical and more practical than a GTR. They are both "better" than the other for what they were designed for. Performance should not always only be considered in its quantity.
Would you care to list some examples of cars that are "better" than an Audi R8 for the price paid for this one?
Admittedly, an R8 would not be my choice if I had the money, but I likely have a very different set of needs from a car than you or Larry do.
mynameisray No answer to that?
I had asked you to list some examples of cars that are objectively better than an Audi R8 for the money, and I would also like to hear your views on my point of Civics being "better"/more suitable for certain situations. But I won't keep you if you are busy enough to reply within ten minutes.
I'm happy to wait. Google can't give me your opinion.
At 17:43, it shows your wheel's AMMO center caps. I LOVE the attention to detail! Thanks for another amazing video!
Every time I hear, I am amazed by the fact that you worked and dreamed 10 years to have an Audi R8. It is well deserved Larry! : )
On the other side, I found it very interesting from the comments, that from the states you are eager to have European cars (BMW, Audi, and Mercedes, sometimes an Alfa Romeo) while it is perceived as average here. We rather hunger for Mustangs and Challengers. :D.
I guess people wants more rare cars against the "environment" they living. Greetings from 400 miles from München ; )
Ah Larry man I've missed you! Wish you'd vlog more often. Even if it's just detailing a car. Never get bored of you. Nearly 600 thousand subscribers for a detailer is awesome!!!
thanks for watching and supporting!
Yeah, i'd love that just general areas of a detail you come across on different cars and how to tackle them, although i can imagine how long extra it takes to film a video on top of you detailing a car.
I just love it when Larry is detailing a super rare car but by far my favorite was the original shed find porsche he literally had to steam clean. The series on rebuilding his Porsche was FANTASTIC. And I'm really loving the work on his new Audi R8. Surprised that we didn't see a full paint correction vlog on the R8 though and SUPER surprised that he wrapped it! Although saying that I loved the colab with Christian as he's bloody awesome.
Another absolutely fantastic video Larry. Thank you for sharing it with us and all of your work in order to do so. It's always appreciated. Amazing channel. Although I'm really only here to tell you how hilarious your face was when you found the dirt behind the liner 😂 👍🏻
Finally a new video! 💖 I’m literally addicted to your vids lol
Can’t get enough Ammo R8 videos
It's not just audi that uses lug bolts. Most European manufacturers use them.
Huber's Ranch Yepp, my old volvo had it, my old passat from 98 had it. And my bmw 2009 have it. To me, lug nut are weird...
Aren't bolts simply just cheaper and that's why? Not as strong but cheaper and strong enough
I much prefer studs and lug nuts to lug bolts, it makes it much easier to line the wheel up when putting it back on. Most European production cars use bolts, as confirmed by comments above and your own statement, but almost all racing cars are adapted to stud and nut for their convenience when changing wheels.
NatoriousGamePlay I say that how strong either option are depends mostly on how thick the steel is. And what kind of steel is used. I know i heard cheaper many times. But if they cheaper they can spend the money they save on thicker bolts?
Serena Hansen Since i have not worked on cars with lugs, simply don't see the problem. Line up the wheel and put an bolt in? How hard can it be? I have removed and installed my rear wheels on and off like four times this month. Not lift...
That sound you made at the end just made me smile because you can tell how excited you were and it shows how much of a car guy you truly are
such a joy to watch these videos!
Thanks Larry for sharing. I Love Love Love this kinda stuff. I always do my best to secure the knowledge, achieve a strict level of craftsmanship and have fun when ever I touch one of our cars! Attention to the details matter.... every time!
I'm speechless Larry, amazing as usual!
I love the amount of detail you put to every work you do. Thanks I have recently changed suspension and breaks on my car I this was like a vacation for me. New shocks and lowered springs, rotors, stainless Steel brake hoses and me ;) I know I have only volvo v70 r but it was fun. Thanks for every video you upload
Great video Larry. Keep them coming!
That install is absolutely incredible. That should be the standard install for that set up in that car.
What a FANTASTIC explanation on Magnetic Dampers.
So succinct, so informative.
Very well produced and narrated. Super thorough without being boring. Thanks!
The attention to detail is absolutely amazing! Larry you are truly gifted.
This guy REALLY loves his car, amazing and proffesional job.
I dig that shirt Larry! Great video as always!
Awesome, really digging the Ammo center caps, nice touch.
what a video, amazing, fun to watch and the nerd in me loved it
What a showcase. There is true craftsmanship here.
This is so satisfying (and therapeutic) to watch. Outstanding workmanship!
Amazing Larry! What a great level of work and a fantastic car :D
Love these videos Mr. Larry. The way you explain to detail the oil change or how the frunk liner was repaired makes me feel so much more knowledgeable about cars and the maintenance on.
Love your videos! Great colour on the R8!
Amazing as always Larry!
Nice to see a fellow Audi owner. I got my S5 2 years ago and LOVE it. I do all maintenance myself and have learned a ton about Audi and their do's and don'ts... great video!!
Awesome build Larry! Never the easy way. Always top notch.
My favourite UA-cam creator!
More of these types of videos please.
sick man! looking fantastic!
Love these videos Larry!! I also learned so much from watching your videos and start doing detailing on the side (until I build my name) from how good it got just by watching your videos! Much love and respect for what you do!
Wow, quality stuff Larry. Have fun!
I just love how precise you guys work. Amazing car, Larry! Hope to see more videos on it!
what an incredible video. The detail is truly something. The knowledge these guys must have to work on such cars is awesome. So nice to see a different side to my dream car. Maybe one day!
Stunning installation!
Wow! Looks like an expensive day!! But the results look incredible. That workshop know their stuff!
Outstanding Larry. What a vehicle!
Amazing stuff Larry!! I really think your video's are better than almost all TV car shows!! The amount of work from just 1 shock going bad is unreal, from having to film everything to the knowledge they have installing everything.. I hope to meet you some day to say thanks in person for all the hard work you do for these free videos!
Thanks for watching!
Nice content man. Keep up .
As always man, an incredible step by step explanation and details, love your videos and the care take on your cars, I follow every step with mine.... cheers
Amazing! This AMMO R8 of yours is awesome. Thanks for sharing Larry. 👌
Car nerdery at its best 😍 🚗👀 Nice work Larry
This was so satisfying..great videos
Awesome video Larry. Its so nice to see you achieve your dreams for working so hard. You have such a great way of telling a story.
Your videos are always satisfying to watch. 👌🏽
I love this channel. It’s really inspiring watching these absolute masters of their crafts work
Awesome workmanship and a great outcome!
love the work mate
What an Awesome episode... The right amount of detail, the typical 'quirkiness' if I may call it that and the level of respect towards Audi and the people working on your car.
Really amazing and a nice gesture with the signatures.
one would be stupid though to do an oil change of such a car in a driveway.
A car I'm unlikely to own and processes I'm highly unlikely to carry out yet still fascinating and enjoyable to watch as always Larry!
great video as always Larry! Love your laugh at the end of the video, it's the same kind I let out every time I gun it in my own !
How lucky are you to have wizards like this at your service?! Great overview and you must be stoked about all these seriously updated/upgraded elements. Enjoy!
Indeed I’m very lucky
I love that you are a perfectionist. i also notice small details that drive me nuts.
your videos are always really well done and awesome to watch!
Thanks for the kind words and for watching and supporting AMMO!
Fantastic car Larry and tastefully done too!
Awesome suspension job on your R8! They did a fantastic job making it all come together!
Congrats!! Great vid!
this channel gets an automatic thumbs up , i already know its going to be quality stuff
Great video! Like the new colour of the calipers. Nice and classy change!
I get excited when you upload videos youre the man 🇦🇱
Hi Larry, great video and love having the R8 back👍🇦🇺
Love how you take care of the R8 so much.
Wow now that's a pro shop. Awesome video! Really enjoyed this one :) What a car Larry!
thanks! Speedsport Tuning is the best no doubt!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing!
Wow such a cool video. I'm so happy for you, Larry!
thanks
Greetings from Greece Larry :D
Great job on the video, Larry! The R8 looks fantastic.
Thanks
Dude. I love it !!
Huge and nice job!
VERU enjoyable series to watch of your R8 Larry lol! Looks good as well as the wrap! #salutefromOhio
Thanks you Larry for another great video. Could watch and listen to your videos all day. As a mechanic I find great satisfaction in people doing a professional job to there cars and having some one actually appreciate and understand those said professionals working on the cars. The whole "Grease monkey" mentality bugs me as cars and trucks (I'm a diesel tech) are getting more and more complicated and people take maintenance and services to the object that city's and towns are built around for granted and the people who manufacture, maintains and modify them.
Larry your expression at approximately 8:00 is PRICELESS!! Absolutely laugh out loud hilarious! Well done!
Chris cross pattern is the key ;)
Fantastic job btw. Well done!
Really enjoyed watching that👍
Wow. Top notch job.
I got to work on the 05-06 Ford GT's back when they were new. I totally understand the joys of belly pans and the hardware keeping track of.
Awesome video!
Holy shit Batman, I'm so in love with your R8! What superb craftsmanship those guys displayed. Again, amazing attention to detail to get every last aspect taken care of. What's not to admire ......
Enjoy larry. Looks great!
Amazing JOB 👍👍👍
Some top level work for a top car!
Maan,, The stance now is soo right on the sweetspot,, 👍😍
LOL I need a gif of Larry's reaction to finding hidden wheel well dirt! Classic Obsessive!
Some of my friends got the stud kit for their Audi’s to swap from their drag setup to street driving. It made it a lot easier to hang the wheels off the studs instead of having a bolt style.
I'd be curious to see what these guys can do for my 944 Turbo. They have done such amazing work for your cars Larry. Keep it up.
good video like always
What a quality build!
Trank you. I really like your way to tell your stories!
