BMW Solo-Werks CoilOver Installation

[@ricergayrage7289]

Damn i was here from day 1 of the build. Awesome

[@maku7359]

Car looks great so far! So cool that this is what has become of that old red bmw

[@ariana06tangi]

What amazes me is that this car when you first got it was in bad shape (engine wise) and you've got it to this point which is fricken awesome!!!! Love your videos bro!!!

[@FailofWar127]

You gotta fix that side skirt man, its killing me lol

[@tiny4307]

same xD

[@Darthvolvo]

I love those wheels. BMW looks nice!

[@Jet3ch]

how have these held up, how do they ride, have they felt worse?

[@memeancholy2565]

I have Solo-Werks on my E46. Improved the handling a lot and can go properly low. Only downside is that I have to creep over bumps but that's to be expected. Would recommend getting some shock tower reinforcement plates and a strut brace if anyone wants coils for anti-mushrooming purposes.

[@mikelozano53]

Memeancholy how low did you go ? I have an e46 and want to get this kit too

[@memeancholy2565]

I think I have 1.25-1.5" of thread left on the front coils, and I went with the lowest setting in the back.

[@Gizawar]

Im thankful for converting inches to cm. I dont understand why other youtubers dont do this

[@robogo100]

Just found your build, and ofcourse binge-watched it all :D Looking forward to the next vid Cheers

[@no_username1]

how do you feel about camber plates and camber rods? how will you align it/was it aligned before you started? also what size are your new rims they look very nice for the car. another great video I've been watching since the start I love the progress and am probably just as excited seeing it come together for you as you are. keep it up man!

[@mikelozano53]

When are you going to make another video?????

[@frank215]

HAH! This is exactly how i put my front strut mounts on. I'm actually surprised the mounts haven't blown out. Hope you reinforced it. Wheels look great too!

[@millertimebmw]

FranklyIDC if you saw the other episode I had the tears blown out when I got the car, I welded 1/4" plate steel on on them.(SOLID!)

[@rollinremztube]

I just installed my Solo Werks yesterday. This was super helpful. But you should shim the lower strut mounts to get more negative camber up front. The e36 doesnt have a front camber adjustment and they dont have nearly enough negative camber to handle well from the factory. Shimming it gives you some extra negative camber without having to get expensive camber plates.

[@nolannorris1250]

rollinremztube thinking about buying these for my e90. how well do they compare to stock for daily?

[@rollinremztube]

Nolan Norris theyre quite a bit stiffer but not too harsh. My wife will still ride in the car so thats a good sign. I put it to the lowest that Solo Werks recommends and have to be easy on parking lot entrances.

[@LouisLuzuka]

THAT LOOKS SO GOOD!!!!!! what other suspension pieces did you go in did you get lower control arms and other nice goodies?!

[@millertimebmw]

Thanks, it's just Solo-werks coilovers!

[@flat4life800]

I remember when this was a $900 budget race car build and it was for ice racing. How far it's come.

[@TheSimo]

Waited since day 1 for this! Congrats!

[@cianroche4669]

Please film another event whether it is drifting or racing I really want to see how the car handles

[@rogergm92]

So after 6 years... How are they doing?

[@notimeboy]

What BMW wheels did you put on? Very clean.

[@winedzongar]

Are you running those wheels with no spacer? it looks good. I got solo werks s1's for me e36 and I need to run a 5mm spacer to not rub the coiler up front.

[@martijnklerks]

When are you coming back?

[@MegaRaDAIR]

Thank you for showing the centimeters aswell. It's such a pain in the ass to calcutate with only the inches :)

[@MegaRaDAIR]

btw looks sick so low now almost like a real drift car :P

[@millertimebmw]

Oppa Wolfgang danke Opa !

[@rafaelfuentes7572]

How are they holding up? I'm gonna get the same ones for my 02 330ci is it worth the money.

[@tktk4273]

yess!!! love this build and channel

[@tktk4273]

maybe some new side skirts

[@nate_meador89]

^definately

[@rifqynaufal473]

cant wait for the update dude.

[@hazedwhite]

Do you need to get an alignment after doing this ? ( probably not eh? ) Also what are the torque specs or where can I find them? Thanks, good video!

[@millertimebmw]

mine did not. can't adjust the camber in the front anyway!

[@Alex50cc]

i have solo werks and i love them, a bit too soft but good quality and ride

[@chubrikzhopa4881]

Wanted to get myself a older 328 but after looking at the mileage on most of these cars decided I want to get a 2011 325 or 8 or ecpessially a turbo 335

[@AndreH5656]

is this coilovers good for daily? streets on my city are really bad, could you tell me if worth it to me? or it is too stiff? thanks man!

[@Dyno013]

AndreCh they do pretty damn good for the price o have them on my e36 daily.

[@AJ-ec5dg]

Bro you're video is exactly what I wanted, thank you!

[@ATSExperience]

Hey man, did you need wheel spaces in the front?

[@mmmadog]

Not one jack stand while working on this?? Just asking for trouble

[@damon123jones]

Amazing video you must be Canadian that's great

[@NickGRU3IN]

i liked this video.. simple quick and not boring! i subscribed!

[@Kelavarus]

You didn't need any spacers in the front? I ended up getting Raceland Ultimos and needed spacers, I kind of figured it would work that way for all coilovers.

[@millertimebmw]

Kelavarus nope, fit great!

[@Kelavarus]

Interesting! What are the specs on the set of wheels you put on? Are those a stock BMW wheel style, I can't find one that seems quite right on the database website!

[@daltonauto]

07:18 I really like this Coilover set, but you can't tell me the spring supposed to look like that I went with Bilstein B14 PSS for 200 dollars more

[@millertimebmw]

That’s the one thing after these years of driving is the rear shocks could stand to be a bit stiffer

[@leeladouceur1094]

i see you live in new hampshire i live in laconia just bought a 2007 328xi really enjoy it

[@YuriAugustoSantosNunes]

My adjustement on the back is on the bottom of the spring... Is't wrong!?

[@servanttofriend8481]

Those wheels are so dope!

[@millertimebmw]

I totally Agree!

[@LouisLuzuka]

this is just so satisfying

[@Bostongreenm3.]

can't wait to buy another E36!

[@jayc4721]

The legend of zach

[@dsump1722]

Recommended for daily driver?

[@LouisLuzuka]

definitely wanna grab a set of these!!

[@danielrooneycooke1108]

i love your builds but you have your vlogs mixed up because this coil over job was already done in the last vlog about the broken sucpension

[@lorenzocastaldo3329]

What's the size of the front tire ? No spacer necessary?

[@AidanBenny]

i like the brand name of your tyres XD at 6:40

[@31acruz]

What is the benefit of installing a coil over, nobody seems to tell us. Many videos on how to install them but nobody tell us why to install them? is it just to lower the car ?

[@gogonge]

thanks for the video man good job!

[@jasonfisher6773]

Did you have to use spacers ?

[@eckounited2652]

plz keep making vids I love them vids

[@InitialEngineers]

How’s the ride quality ?

[@millertimebmw]

I’d say very similar to a stock sport suspension or bilstein touring. I will need stiffer rear shocks if I continue drifting. So…, I’ll need stiffer rear shocks :)

[@InitialEngineers]

@@millertimebmw sweet ! Just got my set in yesterday ! Looking forward to installing them !

[@ProjectOfGames]

look at you wheel base in the rear and front. you need to go to and alightmen shop

[@mattieb3175]

nice just realised I have the same kit

[@e36fanatics29]

Awesome videos!

[@aj5357]

how long did it take you

[@WarrantZeus1]

looks good

[@mr_ghostm-ghost7181]

Great video thx

[@CC-by6rz]

whats going on with the car

[@jw200]

How many inches was the wheel at 7:37 ? 15? 17 ?

[@millertimebmw]

18" wheel

[@becomematrix]

Looks good!

[@oscarlilt]

Hi . Where do you use the lube.

[@millertimebmw]

on the threads of the coil-over. it prevents corrosion.

[@alexyurchenko9696]

M3 bumper soon?

[@millertimebmw]

Alex Yurchenko I'll send my address! :D

[@Chromov113]

I was always wondering: why do you keep speaking, although you make the timelapse?

[@millertimebmw]

Andrey Studentsov you think I shouldn't speak at all?

[@Chromov113]

No-no-no, you should. I mean, you could mute the sound in the footage at the timelapse, for example. Your voice sounds very strange.

[@millertimebmw]

Andrey Studentsov I only joke! Haha. I speed it up with voice because it sounds funny.

[@MrHengDoItAll]

12:08 Zach do you want battery terminal cover? give your address I sent you one.

[@brandonhartle1706]

Where is the duck tail spoiler

[@millertimebmw]

Brandon Hartle I recorded this video 1-year ago(before the spoiler). They are still running GREAT!

[@MaxFluff]

is it a race car or a drift car?

[@millertimebmw]

max drift, race (road and ice)!

[@luckyaf859]

take it for a rip after each mod

[@redheadedgingerbread6976]

Time for a new vid?

[@buildingsalvage]

no spring rates?

[@earnestbunbury2103]

I'm sure it has a few...

[@buildingsalvage]

Incase anyone was curious. Found it on the forums. Don't know why this wouldn't be posted on their website but oh well. "Thank you for your business and your support. The E36 uses a linear rate 400lb spring in the front and a progressive dual rate spring in the rear that averages 300-500lbs."

[@millertimebmw]

Michael Senko knew I forgot to mention something ;)

[@blazbencic5453]

7:31 Whats the name of the wheels

[@daltonauto]

Looks like fake BBS CH or similar, nice wheels

[@Ferdinand996tt]

New intro soon???

[@jayc4721]

Scomakerbill Bjornestad It's a track car.

[@luuklugtigheid1867]

Hai

[@xxjdmgamingxx4945]

Who is watching in the beginning of August

[@john2ndname]

good video..but the music just drives me nuts!

[@millertimebmw]

We’re Working on it sorry :D

[@mmmadog]

Sorry I take that back

[@martink.9442]

Looks like a Chinese Coilover
