Remember guys when lowering a GD body style Subaru, the front wheel arches sit higher than the rears. So you must lower the front more than the rear to achieve optimal stance
Watching Evan struggle a bit with removing these struts made me laugh. The top bolt on the front of most Subaru's is an eccentric bolt, which sets the camber. With coil overs you can delete that. Also those are Pink STI struts. Sell those. Quite valuable.
Great job Evan! I remember installing my old Omni-power coils on one of my DC2 Integra's it was a coastal car and like dude said before, rusted bolts like a mofo! Had to take a torch to one of them that was completely seized. If you guys are ever looking for sponsors I know a bunch of people out here in AZ including dudes at Black Market Racing, Full Race Motorsports, Hondata, K-Sport and K-Tuner!
I know this is a very late comment, but remove that weather stripping in the rear wheel well. That’s what causes the typical “Subaru rust” on the rear quarter. Also, are you selling those STI coils? I have an 04 STi and wanna put new coils in it.
Love the video and remind me right now that I just bought my car and it’s there’s actually the same but it needs a little bit of work😂 first car building it slow
I'm going to be putting some coils on my 06 WRX, and was wondering, do I need the whole tie rod/ball joint kit to go with lowering it or is that just more recommended? Any advice before I lower would be greatly appreciated.
I see you did not need spacers…I need some bc I’m running a 9 inch tire from a 06-11 wrx on a bugeye for those looking to upgrade to coilovers and save you the trouble.
I saw it on IG (either IG or Twitter, can't remember) a few days ago. I don't think they meant to post it yet, because like a few hours later the picture wasn't there, but still. Kind of an easter egg for keen viewers.
JDM crew yeah but he just showed it in stock form, not with the divider/stabilizer bits installed. We knew it was coming, just not with those added to it lol.
When you say the recommended preload amount, is that specific for the coilovers you are using or could/should I apply the same mount to Primo Racelands I have?
I recently got the fortune auto 500 coilovers for my 04 STi. On the rear struts does it matter which way they are rotated? The OEM tophats say "4wd out" on one side to indicate the outside of the car.
Answered my own question, it doesn't matter they will only fit in one way. Another thing to be careful of that's not mentioned in this video is.. on the rear shocks the lower mounting bolt holes are oval shaped to allow for a small amount of camber adjustment so be careful of which way you're pushing on the hub when tightening it down. Got me good lol
To start. ABS sensor line. Not even close to a 13mm. They didn’t break loose because Subaru strut bolts are oval to keep them from rolling themselves out. You were impacting from the wrong side. After witnessing the first two min of this I’m leaving. ✌🏽
Are you actually a mechanic? Cause why do you keep puting your breaker bar or rattle gun on the bolt side and not the nut side? Thats why you keep having problems cracking them lol
So much easier on cars that's aren't rusted all over... Took me two days on my STi after a couple broken bolts haha
We know what you mean! The entire crew is originally from midwest/East coast and all too familiar with rusty bolts/nuts!
haha true that, at least you have clean Califonia cars now!
That's exactly why whenever I touch my 02 wrx, first thing I do is spray any nuts or bolts I'm touching with penetrant
Having the right tools can make a huge difference in any job.
Michael Bacon just a lift makes a hell of a difference
TALENT, TOOLS, EXPERIENCE, PATIENCE. Is the key.
If you have to make a video a little longer just so you can go into detail about every step is completely fine brother. I enjoy long videos!!
Tip... use floor jack to hold it up while removing 👍🏻
+1
"you gotta remove the back seats"
*laughs in hatchback*
Tyler Smith I know right
*Laughs in gutted*
It’s actually very easy to take it off, it only takes like 5 minutes 😂
0 minutes is better
Yeah but then you own an ugly ass hatch 😂
@@hypnopanda1929 wagons look sexy 🤷🏻♂️🤡

GD guys should also know they are Macpherson suspension arms all around and benefit from inverted dampers. Which these are not.

THIS IS THE VIDEO YOU NEED FOR TEIN FLEX Z COILOVERS, THANKYOU FOR THE DETAILS !!
Next wing install and Debadge Subaru letters and good quality LED conversion.
Fuck the DEBadge bullshit

Hell yeah Fortune Auto! I actually just got my FA500's for my 18 wrx today
Always loved subies since i was going into highschool, looking just great guys!
Car looks great! Spacer in the rear would be perfect
Nice work Beckerman! I did my air suspension solo, seemed to go faster than with help. I like getting in that zone.
Man I want this car even more now!!!
Love the video and remind me right now that I just bought my car and it’s there’s actually the same but it needs a little bit of work😂 first car building it slow
How to? .. And we see how to put the wheel back on or bring the car down on the hoist but nothing on adjusting. Great video
Showing love from N.C. Y’all kick ass! 🤟🏽
I will gladly buy those struts you took out, if they fit on my STI blob eye. Looks like they should
Email us at info@throtl.com!
most beautiful looking car
Loving that Rev till Death merch, gotta snag me some of that! 💀

doesn't lowering a car always looks good!!
OG work out in the garage working on the wrx
Pretty limited with tools, time, and space? What tools I’ll need to buy and how long does it take?
Shouldve used some floor jacks to hold the hub up while you were getting the struts out
The main reason why coils are the first mods on cars
FORTUNE AUTO REPING VA !!!!!!! Hell yea !!!!
Anyone noticed the STI wing with wing stabilizers at 17:10??
I saw it on IG (either IG or Twitter, can't remember) a few days ago. I don't think they meant to post it yet, because like a few hours later the picture wasn't there, but still. Kind of an easter egg for keen viewers.
Mickey kinda dropped the ball on that one a while ago though. Almost 3 weeks ago.

JDM crew yeah but he just showed it in stock form, not with the divider/stabilizer bits installed. We knew it was coming, just not with those added to it lol.
They already revealed the wing ages ago
This car is so fresh
I swap my 04 wrx to 04 5 ×100 sti Knuckles and axel rear and front. My question is. i buy the wrx coilovers or sti coilovers??
7:57 *Shout out to all the moms out there*
Great videos. Got a WRX myself. You guys offer services in installation of parts.
Thank you! No sorry we don’t take on outside work currently!
When it comes to impact tools especially i dont fuck with electric ones unless im traveling of course
It’s been 3 years since you’ve left this comment, I can tell you the electric tools have improved a lot that I hope you carry them now
When you say the recommended preload amount, is that specific for the coilovers you are using or could/should I apply the same mount to Primo Racelands I have?
Hmmm makes me want to a wrx watching this build. Since here in MN they are cheap, but the ruuuusssttt lol
Any luck on those center caps??? I been keeping an eye out but haven’t come across em
Are you ever going to put the wing on??? Like damn I wanna see that
very nice video , What is the front screw nut size?
What is the overall height of the suspensions. I have the same suspension and I will like to get the same height on my 07 STI. Thanks
Looks like one should have used floor jacks and also the brakes look iffy. A lot of coil overs like BC have the preload pre set.
It came out nice.
Someone is seriously going to be happy when that car is done!! ?
Are you guys not longer selling these in your website?
What is the length of the coilovers on front and rear??
All this thing needs is wheel spacers and jdm fog lights. Fuck looks so good. Hope yall got rid of that cat in the uppipe!
what sideskirts and front lip mod is that? i love it, want it for mines.
09 sti coilover would fit in a 06 impreza?
6:56 I swear this dude moaned
Can you put wrx/sti coilovers on a gx impreza?
I need that jdm lip...
This is probably weird but personally on Subies and Evos I only really like them sitting high but I’m the complete opposite for every other Car.
I recently got the fortune auto 500 coilovers for my 04 STi.
On the rear struts does it matter which way they are rotated? The OEM tophats say "4wd out" on one side to indicate the outside of the car.

Where can I get a front bumper like that 😁
It could use some spacers though
You're supposed to loosen the nut to begin with, not the bolt.
You don’t have to strip the coil overs off the car to lower
how did you fix the camber on the back wheels??
Throtl BA squad 😊🤙🏽
@5:31 how did you remove the brake line clamp thing?
Commenting because I just did this. You have to slide them out. Theyre just a pain and a half
Probably need some spacers on the rear..
What front bumper is that????
What front lip is that?
I signed up on july 👌
That's the first aftermarket bumper I actually like. What's it called?
I really wish I had the tools
pleas instaled new hedlights
anyone know what front lip they have?
What size oh are the bolts attaching the the hub to strut?
19mm
just use some damn floor jack to support the hub
rims name ?
All the musics in the video?
Let's get it!!
abs sensor
couple Ricky's Porsche project content?
Should have painted the springs to match the car
i'll be doing this in about 2 days haha
Hope this is helpful!
Never seen on yt wow
Next, STI wing!!
Hint. Watch the video again. 🧐
buy some wheels nuts for it !
To start. ABS sensor line. Not even close to a 13mm. They didn’t break loose because Subaru strut bolts are oval to keep them from rolling themselves out. You were impacting from the wrong side. After witnessing the first two min of this I’m leaving. ✌🏽
Needs wider wheels
So when are we gonna address TJs new energy drink sponsor?
WHADUP SHREKERMAN
Good video but way to many commercials bro.
Next mod. Get some proper tools shouldn't need to use step up or down adaptors.
Its a WRX its suppose to be rally car not monster truckin.
He got all that time to make a car but not enough time to respond or talk to his viewers in the comment section
lol not true! :)
Dylan Willey fell for the bait
S Furm haha yea he did😂 I’m still happy to see a UA-cam channel actually interact with subscribers
You got us!
throtl who actually runs all the comments and actually replies? Is it a combination of all of you guys or do you hire an editor?
First because I’m in the notification squad
Are you actually a mechanic? Cause why do you keep puting your breaker bar or rattle gun on the bolt side and not the nut side? Thats why you keep having problems cracking them lol
Here
needs son spacers
11:00 not how you lower the car lol
It is exactly how you lower it on coils !
1:40 that's ABS sensor
Needs some spacers for those wheels and it would be perfect.
That’s the plan!
Skipped a lot seemingly at random
Needs to be lower
17:30 Thank me Later
