[@PuReTiipsy]

This is literally all I’ve been searching for for the past couple days.. perfect explanation . Thank you so much!

[@blaqjac21]

no problem my guy

[@jojo-cx4cn]

almost 3 months i searched for an answer, finally i found your video. thank you. the rear of my car is done. no more hard.

[@blaqjac21]

How does it ride now

[@jojo-cx4cn]

@@blaqjac21 very comfortable. after following your way.before it was very hard.tq so much bro.

[@jojo-cx4cn]

@@blaqjac21 only 5mm preload is enough to be comfortable.

@@blaqjac21 no problem in the front, just found the formula from you in the rear back.😁

This was the best video explanation that I have seen for setting up the rear preload and height for a separate spring and damper suspension. Thanks.

[@blaqjac21]

your welcome

[@jobu9737]

Kae. Thank you bruh. You Have explained the whole process with easy to understand video. Every video I've seen till now is either hard to understand(GodSpeed), skips parts of install( random video's). Especially GodSpeed I mean come on you make the product so at-least explain with pics. And for other guys who skip parts, they shouldn't make a video if there gonna skip parts of it. Thanks again you saved me the pain of calling GodSpeed and my pockets for professional install

[@blaqjac21]

No problem my guy !

[@crackstack11]

If you want to bottom out your strut and it doesn’t line up like yours. Could you technically measure your spring, bolt everything up and just adjust the lock collar?

[@GhxstMode]

This video was very helpful bro 🙌🏼 I was a little hesitant to go with Godspeed coils because I was intimidated by setting proper preload. How exactly do you know that you’re getting the same amount of drop on the rears as the fronts tho ?

[@blaqjac21]

You dont , you have to set it up as you go , i put both front and rears at the same height and go from there . Set the front how you want then the rears

I install these coilovers to my honda civic si 2018 but I have the ads light on the dashboard of my car, how can I remove it?

[@atlJE]

how do you exactly adjust the rear height? I already have mine installed, just wanna properly lower the rear more

[@JoseLopez-fe3yl]

You’ve to lower the back spring purge once you compress it and if you’re not happy with the height then that’s when you start to loose some of its comfort for low

[@CommanderVinegar]

To adjust rear preload after installation could I just jack up the hub, loosen the collar, and then change the preload that way? or do I have to undo the bolts that hold the strut to the hub as well.

[@blaqjac21]

you have to unbolt it each time then re bolt it

[@joseraya8998]

I have the mono ss and i can say i adjusted the preload correctly in the front and back i have some smoothness on small cracks on the road but a bit bigger cracks or bumps(and not exaggerated cracks or bumps), the ride gives a heavy thump. any advice on what could be ? a few solutions? thank you!

Jose Raya yea , if it doesnt change then thats how they ride . Its been a minute since ive been on coils none of my cars run lol

[@dagoberto23]

What's the best adjustment for a smooth ride on the coilovers.

[@blaqjac21]

Smooth ride isnt determined by preload . Preload is the proper way to install them . Spring rates and dampening adjustment will determine ride quality . EDITED

[@swervv2957]

Kae_Productions higher spring rates =smother ride right? Thanks

[@swervv2957]

Cruz Ponce I ended up putting new kyb, got a gd price for them and didn’t want to drop so worked out! Thanks on the info

[@seyone31]

i have the same coil overs for my 8th gen and i was wondering do i adjust ride height with the shock or the collar on the spring, and also what do you mean preload has to be done every time you change the height?

[@blaqjac21]

Seyone Yogan in the front you use the shock , loosen the bottom lock ring and thread the shock down or up to raise or lower . You dont have to reset preload in the front when you adjust ride height Rear you use the spring perch to change ride height . Then reset preload once you raise or lower the rear

[@seyone31]

@@blaqjac21 how do i reset the preload in the rear and in the front i justr use the top spring perch to lower and bottom spring perch to raise as it moves the whole shock down and up, it this correct?

[@blaqjac21]

@@seyone31 in the front you set the preload then lock the rings together . unlock the VERY bottom collar and you can use either or to raise and lower the whole shock as long as they are locked together .

[@RIfreekickers]

Hey man i got the same suspension. For the rear isolators did you use the stock top and bottem godspeed provided you with or did you use the stock bottom one. My rear suspension has been non stop squeaking i feel like the bottom isolator doesnt seat correctly. I tried contacting godspeed and they have no clue. Thanks man id appreciate the response.

[@blaqjac21]

i used stock bottom and provided top

[@RIfreekickers]

Kae_Productions thanks for the response man I appreciate it. The backs are a bitch to mess around with. The sound ended up going away. You have the best video tutorial on KZbin.

[@RIfreekickers]

You modify the lower isolator at all. Or just threw it on

[@chrisshenefield3895]

I tried to find a way to contact you privately, but I could not find your contact info. You are recommending far too much much preload. Preload reduces droop travel, which is a big no-no. Hope you re-do this video and show people the correct way... which is only preload as much as needed to hold the spring in place and no more.

[@georgeniels5616]

I'll give a comment on all Godspeed Project products. If you haven't been given complete instructions , plan on paying high end garage as company provide no directions for tuning their products. Very disguised on their site and the reason they accept no returns without 25% restocking fee.
