[@smashmclovin]

I was a spring guy forever. But got a set of these for my GTI and the adjustability (dampening not just ride height) is amazing. Especially since I’ve started some tracking.

[@mbaconjr7032]

Cam, Love watching how much your mechanic skills and confidence level have grown over the years. 🔥

[@TrilogyBPM]

I've had my bc's for a year now and still as solid as the day I installed them

[@Slurm_is_good]

Love seeing the mazdaspeed3 come together, cant wait for the next video

[@R19Robbin]

I can watch videos like this forever 🔥🔥

[@tylerw782]

Thank you! I'm planning on putting some BC's on soon

[@rustyshackleford6934]

I had BC's on my Gen pu and never had a problem with them. Liked them enough to put them on my FD ^.^

[@andrewregard7250]

I've been looking at either the CS coilovers or BCs. I've always wanted the BCs so I'm most likely going with them.

[@KyleGreenSpeed3]

Not gonna lie this series is so cool watching you make videos on speeds again haha

[@paydencromwell4568]

Just installed my bc’s on my 08 ms3 about two weeks ago and heavily referenced your older video 😂😂

[@wilkinsmalave6063]

I can't wait to MOD my speed3 just got my and is stuck to the bone Thank you for the video I know what to do

[@androidpg1535]

There's not that much videos installing bc racing coilovers on the speed3. Great video my man.

[@CameronAlford]

Thanks!

[@androidpg1535]

@@CameronAlford I got a set of D2 for my gen 2, but they are actually for gen1. Where did you get the rear longer bolt?

[@ambiguouswebmail]

In the rear shock replacement bolts , you should have also made sure that you matched or exceeded the bolt grade. Just going to Ace Hardware for a bolt is not good enough because that bolt might be too soft for this application.

[@TheRealMrRoyal]

That's literally my exact car. Mica black with BC coilovers and whiteline sway bar links. Only I have wheels too.

[@CameronAlford]

Love it!

[@b58.soupra]

i have bc racing coils on my gti, and absolutely love them. they aren’t too badly priced, but they aren’t cheap either.

[@MattStrike]

Hey I know it’s been a year but what gen gti do you have? Would you still say you like the coilovers? I am also thinking of getting a set

[@Ms-nc3eh]

How are the Bcs vs the gen 1 Ksports you installed as far as build quality etc? Thanks

[@tbraceworks1308]

Is it possible for you to take a pic of the oil pressure sensor wire and where it’s running to on the harness cause I broke mines but can’t find where the wire is running to

[@BrandonChien]

Question about the camber plates. Is it necessary to cut/enlarge the strut tower hole for camber plate adjustment?

[@Caeser613]

the nut is long enough . I installed it on my speed 3 with no problems. What i noticed is that some of the kits come with the bolt that goes in the bottom while mine didnt come with it and the install of the spring was in reverse... the spring perch went to the top..

[@bladencole1413]

yo cam, i don’t wanna be rude but i have noticed a decrease in views. But the quality of the content has increased, and team size has increased. I think if you were to switch thumbnail sizes or throw in some vlogs of car meets. Your vid’s would get wayyyyy more views increasing subs and profit. Great Vids tho man!

[@jacobpilon9079]

Got bc on my speed there awesome!

[@harleymatthews4140]

When are you doing exhaust for the Silverado

[@DeanBui]

What happened to the Speed 3 now ? Did you guys scrap the project ?

[@Jesse-dy9xi]

Would you ever do a Veloster N build

[@briancastro3217]

We need another focus build

[@Static_MK3Focus]

He should build a focus sedan so I can get an idea of wheel fitment, fitment industries ain’t giving much 😭

[@interceptingfist5682]

​@@Static_MK3Focus Are you new to research? just go to forums

[@Static_MK3Focus]

@@interceptingfist5682 nah there’s a very specific route I’m going, need to find out how the fitment works, and Cameron does a good job of explaining sometimes

[@christianpena6396]

Another focus

[@Static_MK3Focus]

@@christianpena6396 yes

[@marcushague]

would you trust your mazdaspeed 3 on roadtrips? 1000+ miles?

[@calvinunroe2462]

This is same procedure for 2008 volvo c30 correct? I read it's same coilovers and suspension

[@brendanjones4362]

P1 Volvo people would love that stock rear sway bar (totally not a Volvo guy...)

[@numinous4789]

In the Mazdaspeed community, there are several suspension choices that are very well known and well regarded. BC is not one of them, but maybe that’s just because they’re newer on the platform? I’ll be interested to see what you think of them. I personally went with Ground Control coil overs and Konis and chose custom, very high spring rates in light of the very different motion ratios front and rear.

[@clockwather]

I have racelands on mine. I've had no issues

[@numinous4789]

@Angel Valdez I've heard they're great. I think they can be had for a great deal on Rock Auto, too. Of course, one of the most well-regarded sets for the Speed is KW v3s, but they're pricey.

[@mahhzdaspeed2879]

I know plenty of speeds that run bc coils, Personally I’m gonna go with fortune auto.

[@Juan_More_Mile]

@@clockwather raceland lol

[@andrewregard7250]

@Angel Valdez are you serious?? Haha edge, corksport, rallysportdirect all have tons of MS3 parts. CS is still developing new stuff.

[@losmartinez2449]

Why did you go with bc over the ksport that you usually go with ?

[@paulye5874]

Do you ever do subscriber builds!

[@androidpg1535]

Any updates for part 2?

[@jdavidgarcia7007]

I have a set of cork sport coil overs

[@clockwather]

how did you put the front strut in without that special tool that opens the knuckle just a small bit?

[@cloudvsephiroth215]

Put a plate or shim in the knuckle and thread the bolt backwards until the strut slips out

[@KyleGreenSpeed3]

My white line endlinks are already torn and only had them on since April of 2020

[@KyleGreenSpeed3]

Literally only drove less than 10k miles too

Just ordered some goodies from Carmaspeed. Crossing my fingers. My fiancee wants a speed 3 of her own to drive. 😁

[@sushionwheels1]

What is the length of the lower strut bolt you got from ace hardware? 70mm or 80mm?

[@Harry-kf3gt]

Did you ever find out?

[@lucienlalachance]

Build a big turbo fiesta

[@Barncowbarn]

Anyone else just randomly checking in waiting for a video on the STI rebuild?

[@mlwrance]

I forgot about the temp exhaust fix 😂

[@ethanslape8889]

you need to wrap up the bronco. I dont think very many of us care to see it. Get back to the cars!

[@anthonymcnatt3799]

Canti in the front gets rid of trq steer. Shhhhh.

[@ch-ir8ld]

your vids stopped getting hella views...

[@t-2-raw355]

Saw you on a random insta post in a pic with Klay Thompson. Legit or photoshop?
