Focus RS BC Racing Coilover Install! (Step-by-Step)

[@keithmschwartz]

Getting my 16 NB back hopefully this weekend after a block rebuild. I've always been interested in cars (grew up around my big bro's classic muscle cars) and this is my first fun car. Love the newbie friendly info from your channel and the whole vibe of info delivery. Gonna do this mod eventually and the sequential turn lights as soon as she gets home! Thanks for all you do here, it's a HUGE help and confidence boost that I can diy too.

[@CameronAlford]

This is whats up Keith! I appreciate you and why I do what I do. Thanks for bringing the positive vibes to the car community!

[@coreyscarrepairs]

Cameron bro. I've been a professional mechanic for 7 years now. And I do have the tool for spreading the knuckles on those style struts. But you taught me something with that bolt and plate trick. Just goes to show anybody can learn something from anybody. Cheers man.

[@CameronAlford]

Heck yeah! I learned this from other people online but yes always can learn from anyone! The strut spreader tool doesnt really work on the ford and luckily the knucle is threaded to be able to do this unlike the german cars

[@Prolly_tyler]

Track mode is still available, just press the suspension button after you out it in track mode

[@eduardopantoja5997]

Loving the Focus content lately Cam! Originally came to the channel because of the STI but just been enjoying all of your other content as well

[@CameronAlford]

Eduardo you made my day. I appreciate you. I’ll keep grinding!! Hope you’re doing well and life is good 🙏🏻

[@finamic]

Im 17. Parents are getting me a different car very very soon. do you think that a focus st would be a good choice. been driving for around 2 years now.

[@CameronAlford]

An absolutely great option. Simple fun cars with great support from people and the community and parts. Fun behind the wheel every day!

[@finamic]

@@CameronAlford Yah fs. It would be cool because my parents a have an explorer ST, and that thing is quick, its 400hp and does 0 to 60 in around 4.9 to 5.2

[@reddevildetailing1806]

Hey Cam. Have a 16’ RS putting those exact coilovers on my car as I type this. 😂 did you adjust the rear and fronts or leave it from how they sent them.

[@austinwrighteous]

How did they affect your ride? I know the RS is stiff as is

[@SirTrevorJames]

This I am curious about

[@austinholcomb921]

Hey Sir! I am looking to buy these. Based on the settings you installed them at. How much lower did it drop the car?

[@coreypage025]

The drive mode error only appears because when the dampers change from normal to sport while selecting track mode. To get around this error on coilovers without electronic damping cancellation kit when selecting track mode quickly press and hold the button on end of blinker stalk to turn off sport suspension. You should see spring light on dash turn off. I believe you have a few seconds to do this. If you purchase Electronic Damping Cancellation Kit you won't have to perform the above.

[@geronimoguzman290]

Where do you get the cancellation kit @coreypage025

[@keelanjenkins5170]

How drastic is the change in ride feel? I daily my rs and have been looking at options to improve it. Just wondering if it’s worth the money?

[@jeffreygonzalez4828]

If no one has a random scrap piece of metal to pry open the top part of the knuckle. You can use a wrench. I used a harbor freight wrench and there wasn't any damage on the wrench.

[@CameronAlford]

Great idea!

[@Raven_without_feathers]

I used the "KW Electronic Damping Cancellation Kit 2016+ Ford Focus RS" when I installed my Airlift Performance suspension and that fixed the drive mode errors.

[@ABZero_A90]

That plate and bolt trick is incredible

[@james8287]

Hold the sport suspension button on the turnstock as soon as you select track mode.

[@jessebudelman]

The 5th drive mode?

[@sgtmorhew]

Did the front strut assembly come built out of the box? Thats pretty convenient for swapping and doing it yourself

[@Mpostor]

Nothing is needed to fix and use track mode. As soon as you select track mode hit the button on the left stalk to turn off the suspension mode. It will then work no problem, this is what all RS guys do including me!

[@michaelmiles4850]

GTI question!!!! Have you though about upgrading your headlights on the GTI or is there a video already out by Cameron Alford

[@damianhaley625]

I know your not wanting to do car give aways anymore but every once in a while you should do a part give away cause if I could win some of these I would be hyped lol

[@Prolly_tyler]

Mine didnt get warning lights, it just said that my performance modes werent available, all you gotta do is put it in drift or track mode and then immediately press the suspension button

[@javiermora98]

Focus rs new video, f$ck yeahhh… greetings from México 🇲🇽 🤘🏽

[@grey5719]

Yo I started watching you when I got my 2018 focus and loved watching the mod videos. I got tboned about 2 months ago but I still enjoy you building a beast focus. ❤

[@TheEquivalentXchange]

Some suspension manufacturers sell a delete kit for the active dampers (plug kit) to trick the system its active.

[@jasperbryce1577]

Come on Cameron, make this thing faster

[@CameronAlford]

Haha dude I have a downpipe sitting on the shelf. I’m spooked cuz people are saying turbo studs come out and strip the turbo. This comment is making me realize I’m not acting like my normal self tho 🤣

[@jasperbryce1577]

@@CameronAlford yeah I get that, the RS is a little sketchy compared to the ST. I got mine a ST bc of the one you had and hopefully gonna wrap mine teal blue

[@carloscosta17]

@@CameronAlford Mine did exactly that. It was a shyt show lol. Had a shop retap the turbo.

[@jordanklehr5789]

Cameron get a exhaust 😭 very clean though 👍👍

[@cliftonmcintosh6193]

Fantastic well done 👏🏿 for a brilliant job 😊

[@ScuuBdoo]

7 months and no video on the GC8 Impreza. What is happening with that car? Your last 14 videos have been on a Ford.

[@CameronAlford]

Keep waiting, thanks for stopping by this video!

[@Mk4RS_Za]

God damn I love this Channel, quick question, any of the Civic Type R's in your plans for the future (Ill for sure still be around to watch even if its way in the future), JDM Honda hype is real.

[@CameronAlford]

My girlfriend just told me she wanted one. Super weird of her but i was thinking about the Honda boys would be hyped

[@dekwul]

Öhlins makes a cancelation kit that eliminates the warning

[@ajdub5oh]

Did you verify the pre-load was set properly?

[@danbeer4452]

When can we expect an air suspension setup?

[@caseyryan2164]

Love the vid. Super informative as always. As someone’s already mentioned, to get the steering and throttle response of track mode on the coilovers you have to select track mode, wait till it the track mode light comes up on the dash then hold the suspension button on the stalk. Then it’s all sorted👌🏻

[@CameronAlford]

You rock, thank you!

[@JDWURKS]

Be low fuq dat modest stuff

[@garthmccutcheon1495]

Just got the same coilovers for my st can’t wait to get them fitted great vid bud 👍🏽👍🏽

[@IPhonesCrash]

They are nice! I just out mine on

[@icleforce]

When purchasing the BCs, what options did you choose?

[@CameronAlford]

Just added it to description!

[@serotonin182]

Would you ever consider doing a series on a Volvo, especially the 5 cylinder era of Volvo. Love the content Cam. Keep it up.

[@CameronAlford]

Possibly!

[@serotonin182]

@@CameronAlford If it's possible, the Volvo 850, maybe? I have one and I really want to modify the way you guys do it.

[@mikeinsi87able]

I'm curious why you didn't go kw instead.

[@CameronAlford]

BC’s are affordable for most people, they support creators and fun events and projects. All around good vibe. KW is of course gonna be able to perform better than this BR series but the best of the best isn’t necessary for a street car for me. She rides nice now finally

[@jafettediaz5722]

Saludos desde mexico!🔥

[@jacobsampietro1965]

Did anyone notice that Cameron went for a test drive and forgot a lug nut on the front wheel? Don't know if that was his intentions but just trying to look out for ya.

[@CameronAlford]

yeah i didnt wanna put the locking lug nut on knowing i would be right back to take it off and have it ready to put the. new wheels on the next day

[@jacobsampietro1965]

@@CameronAlford I gotcha I didn't even notice you had a locking lug not on it

[@IPhonesCrash]

I own these for my st😘

[@dominothegrinch]

This is a longshot for a response, but does anyone know if the rears have dampening control like the fronts do?

[@SeanFarley25]

Yes

[@dominothegrinch]

@@SeanFarley25 goated for the reply💪🏽 thanks!!

[@is_y_03]

does the rs use same suspension/chassy as the speed3? seems similar

[@IPhonesCrash]

I think the st is more similar. Could be both tho

[@oohhhdaniel]

Thank you 4 dis.

[@creamchowder3309]

Do you need an alignment after?

[@mikeinsi87able]

Most likely yes.
