Nice to see clean Honda’s that aren’t riced out.

[@johnvela6929]

Doesnt matter what my man seth works on... Hes a very talented individual and i feel i learn so much more when he speaks about the honda chassis.... Keep it coming seth.... Were all behind you and your builds...

[@gordoneversley6881]

I like the change in pace with this suspension install!

[@eliyenko3522]

Respect one of the few videos that actaully break everything down and make it that much more easier to do

[@bushidokori]

Finally someone shows how to put on coil overs and adjust them while on the vehicle. Finally

[@lloydrobinsoniii]

One of the best videos on how to install coilovers! You show every step and edit the video perfectly! Too often videos leave out essential steps or have poorly shot angles. Seriously, thank you! You’re saving me about $500-700 since I’m confident I can do this myself, thanks to your video. One of my favorite things is that you show every wheel and every coilover, instead of just saying “now repeat the steps,” because sometimes issues happen like with those rear bolts. Rarely do people show when issues come up and how to solve them. Everything about this DIY installation guide is amazing! Please continue to make videos like this! Liking and subscribing with notifications on is a no brainer.

[@crxseth]

Thanks for the feedback and kind words!

I just got me a set for my mk7 golf this video gave me faith cause sooo many video hating on the Maxpeedingrods I just want the dropped look so Thanks again 🙏

[@mistrbentkarma1592]

I can’t wait to pick up my crx Seth!! I have had suspension for one for 15 years and now I’m confident I can do it now thanks to you!!!

Good luck!

Just installed mine! Same coilovers and subframe with lower control arms for my 2000 Honda Civic EX . Had some trouble found ur video and now it’s dropped perfectly how I like it 👌

[@randyej2pr]

Im telling you these are the BEST budget build coilovers. I had ksport and these ride way smoother and have lasted me for like 1 year and a few months so far no issues. Fully recommend these.

Im glad i kept the bolts off the rear of my old dc2. I plan on putting my itr coilovers and rear control arms on my eg sedan this summer. I know they are going to snap.

[@crxseth]

Appreciate it!

[@jaievang8672]

Those bolts probably cost close to what the coilovers price...not hating 🤪 I have MaxPeeding on all my rides right now..they work good. Balling on a budget. Much respect to what you're doing.

[@greenbackmafia_8655]

I just got mine on my 06 civic today very easy install little tricky on how to get the preset set up in the front to make it low af and still ride smooth but we got it and same on back but it’s ticking rim in front and almost in back and it’s smoothest ride I ever had on a slammed car 😊

[@greenbackmafia_8655]

Old tucking is the word that is ticking just so you know bro

Was about to install these coilovers on my integra today really quickly until i seen you guys struggle with those rear control arm bolts. i said nah my bad luck that will be me and a car stuck on jackstands in the cold. Ill order some new control arms and bolts then tackle it Friday lol. great video!! suscribed

Also we did see 2 boxes of the coil overs, is the other one for the CRX!

[@crxseth]

I believe I will be using the other one for my budget EG sedan.

[@timwilliams4739]

I was screaming at the screen "DONT GET THE BREAKER BAR!!!!!" ......... SNAP!

[@crxseth]

Had to do something! Haha. At least when it breaks, we know we have to cut it out.

[@anttrig6082]

That happened to mine today bro now I know what I’m have to do shit sucked tbh lol I was damn it ! Your great on showing what you do much appreciative keep up the amazing work bro

[@lna8250]

Your work is clean and neat. Really appreciate it I am planning to get a set of coilovers for my sedan ES civic 2004 and I think I will go for that one. However, do I need to get the Lower control arm and the lower sub or the stock ones should be fine ?

[@crxseth]

I’m not familiar with that chassis.

[@luisdejesusluna9261]

Thank you 😊

[@jaievang8672]

...also, GREAT camera work! Is that you as well? Where do you have the time? Perfection.

[@crxseth]

Thanks! Yes, it definitely takes a ton of time doing it yourself!

[@wolfparty4234]

Now the left side is lower then the right side!🤣 Wish y’all would of did some painting on the shock forks. Nbd

[@crxseth]

It gets repetitive after a while! Haha. Gotta cut some things out. This was just a quick temporary installation. His long term plan is to find a better shell.

[@AWD_T]

Those bolts for the rear lca ALWAYS break.

[@lsminibikes]

Dude. I just broke mine literally after watching this video. Can I get a replacement local anywhere ? Or would I have to order it online?

[@nicklam6249]

love your video, just wondering what size were those bolts and nuts for the LCA. thanks in advanced.

[@crxseth]

[@embee1973]

Clean.

[@johnnyjohnathon7381]

I had to use those sleeves for the fork on my eg civic

[@shineclinic4349]

Was having a hard time with that fork bolt had to shave some of the adapter off to make a slight groove. Also rear lower control arm needed a bolt for shock.

[@crxseth]

Yeah, there are some quirks to work out. I guess when you get the budget stuff it requires some more work.

[@dawhitecastle]

Having this issue on the front too. Pain in the ass. Haven’t got to the back yet.

[@RussianTv876]

i install my coilover sleeve but im getting a very bumpy ride on rough road that i dont like can some one tell me how can i fix it

[@chloespencer4011]

I ordered these exact ones off eBay and they didn’t come with that thing you slide onto the fork and now they don’t fit. Any ideas where I can get them or anything else I could use?

[@jasonvincent690]

Nice Ek! Not so nice bolts though. Glad we don’t see that stuff in AZ.

[@thairicaan]

🔥🔥🔥

[@mexkicks]

Damn I haven’t seen someone use a corded impact gun on KZbin ever😂😂😂

[@crxseth]

🤣

[@nitrous07me]

Should’ve greased them pillow ball mounts on the fronts before installing them

[@gordoneversley6881]

Meticulous again Seth! However I expected you to clean and paint everything in the wheel wells. Soo true about the corrosion and never thought about the spray. The thing is ... if you don't know you won't do it and if your mechanic is doing the work he may not care as it's to get it done quick and to move onto the next job, it makes no difference to them.

[@crxseth]

This was just a quick suspension install on a chassis that he might be replacing soon due to having over half a million miles! We didn’t want to invest too much time into it. :)

[@alexandrealex4972]

very good 😍😍😍

[@suggonboffa]

did you even block the wheels when you jacked up the back of that ek?

[@T12i99iN]

I was never a fan of slammed to ground on my own cars. I like looking at other people’s slammed to the ground cars...lol

[@Trytec96]

Did you notice there being a large gap with where the bottom of the rear shock and lower control arm meets? Im referring to when you install the bolt. If I go any tighter, the metal legs on the shock are going to start bending inwards.

[@crxseth]

You may need spacers. The kit comes with these spacers.

[@Trytec96]

@crxseth 30 seconds after I asked I saw a video and was like aaaaaah that's what those washers were for. Definitely a blonde moment

[@tigris4149a2]

you can never use a bar on the rear trailing arm bolts. always breaks lol.

[@lsminibikes]

Just broke my LCA bolt too right after watching this video. Did you find replacement bolt locally ?? Please let me know

[@crxseth]

No, we had to order some online.

[@bikelifeel2187]

Bru I just bought some with out the sleeve know if I can get them any how

[@dawhitecastle]

I got the updated of these for my 96 hatch and the adaptors for the front don’t fit on the control arm. Had to sand them down inside the ring which was a bitch.

[@CakeBoSS559ANDY]

Hey make sure to look at the coilover a couple thousand miles after the install I ordered a set and the damper itself was leaking right out the box. Customer service tried sending me a damper itself so I could fix it. Had to bed them to replace the entire coilover and was charged a total of $50 extra for the shipping for them to send me a full coilover replacement. Been a week and a half since I got the package still waiting on the coil. Buddy came into the shop yesterday for an alignment he has an s14 kouiki said he just ínstalled his set and one of his rear coilsare already leaking the same oil that came in my set. My set was for a 98 civic coupe.

[@crxseth]

I’ll definitely let him know!

[@CCDVIDEO]

Hows the ride on these maxpeeding coilovers? Also, I see there’s gold, red & silver, is there a difference to them, other than the colour, as I see there’s a price difference too. Your feedback will be appreciate man

[@crxseth]

They have adjustable dampening ones and non adjustable dampening ones. The colors are just colors. These actually almost ride like factory. Much softer than other coilovers but not bad, in my opinion. I have them set to full stiff.

[@CCDVIDEO]

@@crxseth thanx for getting back to me, I appreciate the feedback. Sounds like they are worth the money you pay for them 👌🏻 I’m from South Africa, will def get them ordered up for my EK Civic 🤘🏻

[@oscara5783]

All the other things are those needed or more recommended? Beside the set of coils

[@crxseth]

Probably a set of camber adjustment arms for the rear and possibly front camber adjustment arms.

[@jhonnelelegaspi7125]

Did you use a new set of bolts for coilovers and subframe?

[@crxseth]

A couple of them were new because of having to cut them to remove them.

[@kenjivue6951]

did the rear suspension components come with hardware?

[@crxseth]

No.

[@Dociletapeworm]

Do I need the sleeves on the front coilovers for my 2000 ej6 sedan? Also what are the washers for that come with the coil overs? Thanks.

[@crxseth]

Yes for the sleeves. Washers are for rear control arms for certain cars.

[@Dociletapeworm]

@@crxseth thanks. I got mine installed. I had to sand the paint off the front coilovers to get them to slide into the sleeve and I had to use the washers on the rear. But the caris sitting nice and rides nice.
