Cheap eBay Coilovers Into A Holden Commodore ( VT VX VY VZ )

Today we installed some cheap eBay ( maxpeedingrods ) coilovers into a VY Sedan, fitment would be the same into your VT VX VZ Sedan, Ute or Wagon and also into WH WH WK Statesman, Grange etc.
This is a video on how to install your new coilovers aswell as some handy hints and tips when installing, along with my honest opinion ( review ) on these cheaper coilovers mostly found on eBay.

Wow, thanks

[@MATISTHERAT]

That sub install was actually a really cool twist in the vid I like the hinged idea

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Actually a great idea, was so easy to remove.

[@frasermate4729]

Good video mate

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Thanks mate

[@Pedro-pl7do2lx4o]

Love your work Remi! Wish you still had your VE clubby,i still watch those videos 👌

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Me too mate, i miss that car.. regret selling that one but needed to pay some staff / bills at the time.

[@Pedro-pl7do2lx4o]

@@RCSMediaDivision I get that bud I’ve been there plenty of times with cars,sold so many cars over the years to pay bills to get by now they’re worth a fortune but hindsight is a bitch and you got to do what you have to at the time,was a beautiful car mate! Loving the hsv content you’re putting up keep up the great work man👌hope whoever you sold it too is bringing it back to it’s original glory,can’t believe it was left to rot in the weather like that🙄some people hey! I’ll keep enjoying the videos of it you put up and hope you’re feeling better mate

[@RCSMediaDivision]

@@Pedro-pl7do2lx4o Thats it mate, iv only ever sold things iv had too so i cant really look back and regret it too much. sometimes things are out of your control and you just have to do the best with what you have. id like to get a VE or VF HSV. but time will tell. iv got enough projects on the go at the moment, i also would love a old kingswood or something. but at the moment iv got regos and insurance going out everywhere..

[@Pedro-pl7do2lx4o]

@@RCSMediaDivision I understand that mate,hopefully you do get another one one day I’ll look forward to seeing that,I’m loving the commodore content and hsv content you’re putting up,keep up the great work mate 👌

[@rc70ys]

Taking into account the coilovers, wheels and all that labour and energy it would have cost the owner as much as the car itself 😂.

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Not so much, but prob close haha

[@johnohodda2775]

What are some brand recommendations for a kit like this. I was about to buy the same kit for my vy but had a hunch to check youtube for a review and you didnt disappoint. Now im avoiding that stuff around for sure. Looking for a kit with a smooth ride as well as hight adjustable? I have HSD high pressure in the front at the moment but its way to rough for my liking. Suggestions?

[@RCSMediaDivision]

We use KSport coilovers and personally i really like them. however coilovers are always a stiffer option then just going lowered springs and shocks. it is really personal preference but i have lowered monroe shocks with king springs in one of my cars and love the ride so much, but i have ks racing coilover front and airbag rear in another one of my cars and i really love that car too. but id steer clear of coilovers that dont have shock adjustment.

@@RCSMediaDivision legend! Thanks

[@mooroocho834]

Going to be awesome on the highways doing 110!

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Just done a week checkup on these coilovers, locating nuts already loose... not giving me much confidence.

[@Artkrimz]

Ahhhhhh I thought coil overs were illegal all together 👌🏻

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Maybe in different states, where are you from?

[@jackbaldwin2135]

Not in vic they aren’t. As long as you don’t drive under 110mm :)

[@stevennott6139]

Don't know about Vic, but I'm pretty sure they are in nsw,probably because of the adjustment can vibrate loose,but everything is legal as long as you don't getting caught, I've been running mine for a long time 😂

[@Artkrimz]

@@RCSMediaDivision from Melb, thought coz they were too stiff

[@Artkrimz]

@@jackbaldwin2135 isn’t it 100mm?

[@jackbaldwin2135]

Surely that couldn’t be a comfortable ride with it being so low ? 😳 I’d think that would bounce like crazy.

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Crazy enough mate, some people like the low bumpy static feel. but this actually drives pretty well considering,

[@jackbaldwin2135]

@@RCSMediaDivision yeah wow haha! I’d feel like I’m bashing my head against the roof 😂 although I have a bad back and I’m 6ft so probably not the best for me anyway haha. Well that’s good I’m glad it wasn’t a bad ride then all things considered :)

[@RCSMediaDivision]

@@jackbaldwin2135 Haha yer i hear you mate, i could not daily a car like this. no way.

[@LachlanGrimston]

How hard was it to put them in

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Compared to the normal coilovers we use, which is Ksport and pedders these ones were annoying to fit to say the least. but straight forward.

[@holdenholden8945]

What is ur other job bro

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Im head of maintenance and construction for a holiday rental company.

[@danno2881]

This looks like a classic case of the poor man pays twice. Can see these getting swapped out for quality parts

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Tend to agree mate, unfortunately some people need to learn for themselves 🤷‍♂️

[@stevennott6139]

They also need to be checked occasionally, because they can vibrate loose,and if fitting to vz you need to buy vy sway bar links as vz has balljoint top and bottom and vy has threaded top and ball joint bottom

[@RCSMediaDivision]

100% mate, i get everyone back in after a week or so to check them out. with good coilovers normally no issue. this car already had loose adjusting nuts.

[@Vtorious123]

Cheap shit always end up costing more than good stuff. Do it right the first time and save yourself some money

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Yep totally agree mate, unfortunately some people don’t see the value in good R&D

[@cpzmelbs]

Where are all these lowered springs or shocks going after changing setups.. there must be a bucket load kicking around Surely enough to where a 2nd hand set can be had for a decent price. But I only ever find people who wanting maybe $15 less than brand new for their clapped out sprigs 👎

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Haha yer totally, ends up may aswell just buy new ones...

[@stevennott6139]

Ive put these type of ebay coilovers my vz ss,have been happy with the way it handles, its like its on rails, didn't use the adj rear shocks,they were so stiff they could hold up the car without springs.If the Holden nut fits the top it has to be same as the standard ones? You need to use the adj on back springs unless you want it to be stupid low. I am on my second front struts as the first ones started to leak after about12 months. Setting the preload and height on the front ones is crucial for a good ride

[@RCSMediaDivision]

Good information mate, so your front nuts where the same? these were for sure smaller.

[@stevennott6139]

@RCSMediaDivision yeah had no dramas,alsothe brackets for the brakes and abs,they go on the lower mounting bolts,I just bend them a bit to suit, I didn't get the ones with brackets welded to the strut

[@RCSMediaDivision]

@@stevennott6139 Yer usually they alteast come with those other brackets, but these had nothing.
