How to Install MaxpeedingRods Coilovers, 2007-2008 Honda Fit GD

#maxpeedingrods sent me a set of coilovers to install on my 2007 Honda Fit Sport (GD)
As always, I did not accept any payment from the manufacturer for this video, so expect an honest review. They do ride well for the cheap price (~$300) However, they were not a direct fit and did need to be slightly modified to fit my car.
I also replaced every suspension component, axles and wheel bearings, but those will be a separate vid, to keep this one short.

I don’t understand why you don’t have a bigger following. You are detailed in your instruction with a good quality to your video production. I am a retired Army Mechanic and if your videos were available back-in-the-day I would have made your channel mandatory watching! Keep up the outstanding work.

[@6thGearGarage]

Thanks, I'm happy to be working on my cars and helping others!

Sweet another Underrated youtuber. AutoSubscribe and tons of likes. Let’s Go. More videos please. 😊

So I have purchased this an followed this to a T, dotted the i’s! I had the same issue with the strut mounts (drilling out the holes). Same with grinding out the rears so they fit. The rubber isolater for rear as well was an easy fix. Fits perfectly. The fronts on the other hand have proven to seriously PMO! I have the same clicking noice Both top mounting strut assembly where the mushroom washer rests inside on top of the shock, to protect the boot, has been pushed through to the top causing damage to the side wall. The clicking sound when settled mine did the same thing. I strongly suggest replacing all bolts washers and nuts for this whole job so future buyers don’t go through what i did. Main question, What are all the torque specs you used to tighten down the strut and to the strut tower when installed? They ride great just need a little more adjustment. Best of luck to anyone else getting these. Thank you for the video! 🙌🏼

[@6thGearGarage]

I don't know the exact specs, I just tightened by feel similar to what I've done on other vehicles. One thing that quieted the clunking noise down a little was spraying the underside of the car with Fluid Film for winter. I coated the coilovers really well (because they were already starting to rust!) and the oil must have helped things move easier/more quietly.

enjoy it

Excellent video im gonna install the coilovers in my 2007 Honda Fit this weekend ! Thanks! Robbie

[@6thGearGarage]

Hope your bolts/nuts are less rusty than mine 😂

[@GalosPolElPaso]

I hope so too 😂 my only concern it’s about the bolts ! I hope I don’t have to modify anything! I’ll keep u post ! Thanh’s again ! Greetings from California Robbie

[@6thGearGarage]

@@GalosPolElPaso How did it go??

[@GalosPolElPaso]

I’m just started today unfortunately need to stop to modify the holes !

[@6thGearGarage]

@@GalosPolElPaso I guess all their kits are like that for the Fit then...

[@victorflores7594]

Great video with details!

[@G-Fan4Life]

I bought these for my 08 fit front one are great but the ones holy shit they hit so hard had to buy factory ones to go with the max springs in the rear

[@6thGearGarage]

I agree after a few days of driving around; these spring rates are too high for this little car.

[@G-Fan4Life]

@@6thGearGarage yea bro like 1 month later the max speeding rod shocks went out on me so I just ordered original shocks with the max speeding rod spring and it drives better going rev9 next year had them on my ep3 and there amazing

[@arayChichogha]

It seems interesting, how much does it cost and where to buy it

[@6thGearGarage]

There is a link to the kit I used in the description. Thanks for watching!

[@zaq1234sd]

How did u fix the turning noise? it's so annoying

[@6thGearGarage]

I tried lubing parts, changing preload and ride height, and nothing worked. So now I just turn up the radio.

[@shohruh_____1928]

I need a chassis please, if you have spare parts that you don’t need, give them to me

[@sandeeppatel2627]

on a old Jazz MK2?? mind boggles

[@6thGearGarage]

I wish Honda called them Jazz in the US... so much better than "Fit"

[@__akuuma]

wait what why do you have to remove the entire assembly

[@6thGearGarage]

It has to come out to install the coilovers and also some parts need to be transferred over.

[@jaeko2223]

he didnt have to, removing the two big bolt on shock and whole hub will swing out enough to remove shock. i believe he removed hub for easy access and because he replaced control arms.

[@shohruh_____1928]

hello, can you give me old spare parts? I have a 2008. I need spare parts.

[@6thGearGarage]

The original shocks/struts had 170k miles. I scrapped them a long time ago.

[@shohruh_____1928]

@@6thGearGarage what parts do you have i need headlights

[@BLLACKSTTAR]

Step 1: Don't Save your money and buy something quality. I bought HKS GT IV HiperMax coilovers for my GD and never looked back.

[@6thGearGarage]

Yeah, they're cheap for a reason.

[@miken4022]

Note to self: Do not put these coilovers on my car. 🙂
