What suspension set up is your favorite?
Oh yeah, also don't forget to get an alignment if you're messing with your suspension!
Yes finally!
10 minute fridays 😂
this is one of those cases , in which i like more the stock suspension height.
With lowering springs you can adjust the front enough to be in specs , but the rears are not adjustable . I did the TEIN 1.25 front and 1.00 rear on my 2017 wrx. The front is all good when I went for alignment just rears run at -2.7 camber , it’s not to noticeable when looking at the car. My advice would be a after market adjustable lower rear control arm before alignment to be able to get it into spec.
strong man here. i remove and replace front strut by myself. you are weak.
your install vids are alwys helpful and clear cut and make it look so simple .Im thinking going the same way with lowering springs instead of coil overs for better daily driving comfort
Anyone looking to do these on the VB chassis - this video basically covers everything… except that the sway bar endlinks are attached to the front struts on the VB. I definitely recommend getting a set of pass thru sockets if you don’t have them.
thank you for this. so. much.
my sportlines come wednesday 😊
What’s the turq spec
Yo what’s the brand of that ratchet tho
I just received this in the mail from you guys. It only came with 1 bump stop. Can I just use the stock bump stops or can I get another one from you guys?
With these lowering springs do you need rear lower control arms or anything extra at all to put everything back in tolerance when you do an alignment? I know the rear camber is non adjustable so I was just making sure I don't need anything else besides these lowering springs. When I lowered my gti on kw coilovers I needed a bunch of extra stuff to fix the alignment and i needed more adjustable components.
Do you need to align the wheels after this?
Will it affect my shocks if i put lowering springs in my 09 Maxima?
Let’s not forget that lowering springs put a lot more stress on your shocks as your stock shocks are dampened and designed for your stock spring height. Food for thought.
Solution: Just buy performance shocks for lowered cars, and don't cheap out -- it's a bigger part of your handling than the springs are..
@@ConnerMainChannel ....or get coilovers to specifically dial in to your car and preferences.
@@jessel1217 Oh definitely, so long as it's a good coilover with good shocks in it ha. Cheap coilovers are often the same story as cheap "tuning" shocks...
How bad will it be affecting the stock shocks?
Will it significantly reduce the life of the shocks?
@@mishaelbijou9343 Usually, putting a shorter spring on the stock shock will put more wear on the shock than it is designed to handle, resulting in increased wear and eventual failure. It's not a myth either, I could write up a paragraph about why this happens due to shock design, and I also just see it happen all the time. Always research how something applies to your specific car though, maybe your OEM shocks just so happen to be built in such a way that they can take lowering springs (this is usually not the case). Also, ignore when lowering springs say they're designed to work with stock shocks. That doesn't mean they wont wear stock shocks quicker, or that performance shocks won't handle better with said springs.
Can you use the same bomp stop or you nees to change it ?
Why you cut off the bomp stop ? The rear one?
This is a lot of work bro 😮
how do i choose the lowering spring...do i have to mesure the diameter and such??
i have a 2009 hyundai accent hatchback
Are the torque specs you listed same for sti specifically, or wrx only. If different specs for sti, where could I get that information? Putting on swifts tomorrow, thanks!
I have a 2019 wrx sport tech. There's no bump stop in the front strut, is this normal?
Is the ride bouncy after this installment ?? & do these fit a 2020 sti?
I just cut my springs ! I am old school
😲
Old school and dangerous lol
Please tell us you're kidding.
Old school + idiot
Trolling.....I hope
Any recommended aftermarket strut/shocks to pair with this?
We designed the struts to be compatible with factory struts, so no need to upgrade them. Simply swap springs and go!
@@factionfab5834 won’t a shorter spring reduce the life of the stock strut because it’s constantly being compressed?
@@tylerlusic4497 They can in some instances, however that is why our springs feature a very modest drop of no more than 1". As we found more aggressive drop will start shortening the life significantly
What happened to 2 min Tuesday
Anyone else's OCD get triggered when he didn't cleanup the shock assemblies :O.
Sphoxros lol i was thinking i'd love to hit that with an air gun too lol
no
How do you torque the top hat?
Installing another brand of lowering springs. Questions are..
How do you torque the centre strut tower to 41ftlb when you need to use a passthrough wrench?
If my new springs didnt come with bumpstops do I just reuse the old ones? Do I need to cut the rear in this case? No instructions from RSR
I know this is two months old but yes you do need to cut the rear bump stops
I would like to know too, how to torque the strut top hat nut ? I can't seem to find a pass-through torque wrench ? Can we just use an impact wrench to tighten them ?
I’m looking too. Torquing the top hat is a mystery
I’m at this same conundrum currently. Did my lowering springs 2 weeks ago. This morning in the freeway it was like a dip in my steering. 70+mph. No indicator lights. No sound. Definitely has something to do with my suspension change. And I don’t know what. But I’m sure it’s the top hat or how the spring is sitting in said top hat and perch. A lot is effected from that point
Yeah this is way to complicated for me. I’ll just get someone to do it for me lol😂
I was thinking i could do it myself but after watching this pshhhhh forget it
Honestly did it for the first time. As long as you follow the directions and make sure to have the tools at hand your good to go took me like 4 hours to do.
@@Scallywag94 yeah I just got bc racing coilovers instead and installed them myself
Do these work with the stock struts on a 17 STI for the long run?
Yes, FactionFab has engineered these to work perfectly with your stock struts.
Aaron Carrizales that’s my issue too. Want lowering springs real bad, but i don’t wanna destroy my struts long term
Ben Battista ; my thoughts exactly, so I had to ask.
These are designed to work with stock struts. That is why the drop is 1" and not lower. Going more then that the strut is outside its operating range.
@@factionfab5834 Thanks for the reply! I appreciate the reassurance and will certainly be picking up a set of your lowering springs then!
Are the bump stops and cutting the bump stop specific to those springs? I ordered H&R ones and I don't recall any mentioning of them. Also, what did you use to cut the stock bump stock?
Yes, each spring is different. I just used a sharp box knife.
Sweet
89 lbs for rear shock to LCA?...
Are the torque specs the same for a 2013 wrx???
Yes, I just did them on mine
Thinking about doing this, can anyone give me a ride quality review if you have same/similar? Not sure if I want coils
I'm confused. Do you need spring compressors to do this or not? I thought you obviously did but then in the video you say you don't?
Fronts - yes. Rears - your choice. Takes 5 minutes to tighten down for peace of mind
These or rce yellows?
We love both but enjoy these a bit more!
Will these work with 20mm spacers on 18 inch oem wheels?
Yes, they will.
@@SubiSpeed just place an order wonder if they fit 2020’s 19” oem wheels?
165.
It's a rally car. LIFT SPRINGS!
163
Tint game weak af
Stock rims are disgusting
Lowering springs on a WRX? C’mon man, there aren’t Honda’s.
Coilovers 👍🏾
But you get more performance out of the springs instead of the coilovers
@@Capt_Horace4819 😂
big oof
