2:02 is the most important part of the clip

Just saw the trc video, and I had to find this channel, this thing is a functional work of art!

[@coltstonecypher]

Thanks 🤘

[@CrimxSun]

The dog 🤩🤩

♥️

[@alexloomis4187]

Bro this is sick. The cleanliness of your uild is next level! That takes some work!

[@Mr.GS-147]

I love this setup 😎. It’s also great that you went with your own ideas as to running air like everyone else 👌🏾

[@coltstonecypher]

Thank you 🤘

[@CorpseExplosion]

Holy shit, this is crazy impressive and actually surprisingly funny. Great video.

[@alexsolano221]

Awesome job! 🔥This is another level of Performance👌🏻

This looks sick! Awesome job! 🤩👏🏻

Thanks 🤘

[@Trane69]

amazing stuff, would love to see the front suspension set up more in details

[@kdoran709]

Been following on insta since the beginning. Love it.

[@joshmunter8271]

Wow thought this thing was a render on facebook beautiful

[@muhammadarsad5655]

Good job dude 👌🏼 love to see other update 😄

[@coltstonecypher]

👌👌

[@VS666]

holy shit this guy just fucking changed the Z game... on another note...that fuckin dog almost made me cry he's so precious haha. i can tell you are a genuinely good person...you think a lot about how you go about things and obviously love your dog very much.

[@coltstonecypher]

Thanks man. I appreciate that 🙏 and *she

[@vdhg_Ant]

Yo, this thing is nuts lol

[@gurugreg1211]

Can you make a video explaining how the different ratios of the bell crank and coilover mounts will affect the suspension? Ie: how it changes the spring rate, dampening, and suspension travel.

[@shapwithitmayates]

This is STOOPID🔥 looks like a lot of meticulous work but very well executed Dope😌

[@coltstonecypher]

It was a nightmare figuring out how to make all this work but I'm glad I did. 🙏🤘

[@bingbongap5558]

This is awesome.

[@Maaaaaax-07]

Damn you should do more videos 😳

[@grandpafabio]

Excellent - real high quality work! I built cantilevered front & rear suspension for my '37 Chevy pick-up, but I really like what you've done with the hydraulics. Did you install something similar in the '39 rod susp? Great to see builders like yourself doing such innovative work - so what's next?

[@coltstonecypher]

Thanks. The 39 had just a basic air bag setup. But it's getting a major overhaul once the Z is finished

[@sterlinmorel8533]

Love the dog 🐶 😍

[@ACHECK711]

Crazy awesome build. What all have you done to the engine?

[@tazerface8638]

mother of god!!! awesome 👍😎👍

[@vally6853]

Should do a suspension cam

[@coltstonecypher]

There's one on my Instagram @ratrodcolt

[@inasimulationwelive]

Did you made the manifold? 😮

[@jraddd3477]

What bearings did you use for the bellcranks?

[@mr.valentino2824]

Where did all the build videos go?

[@86BEAMS]

ive been wanting to do this for years and years, i have afew questions, how bad is the droop factor of the hydraulics slowly leaking down over time? is that an issue at all? and how do you deal with your wheel alignments changing at every setting?

[@sanramondrift]

7:17 really nicessssssssss is that you with the ssssss or is that the trunk shocks? 🤣😂

[@coltstonecypher]

😂😂the shocks

[@TEAMPHY6]

Did you thread in heim joints into both ends of the hydraulic cylinders? Or are the rear bottoms clamped like the front tops are? Nice clamps btw.

[@coltstonecypher]

No. I disassembled the cylinder and welded a threaded sleeve to the top of it. Also the front clamp is just extra stability. There's a flange welded around the cylinder that bolts up to where the coilovers mounts to the strut tower

[@ianw3811]

Do you get any unwanted compressions from the hydraulic cylinders, when hitting bumps at high speed? Is this setup slightly disadvantageous compared to, say a solid metal strut pushing the rocker, rather than a Hydraulic cylinder?

[@coltstonecypher]

Hydraulic fluid compression is almost non existent, unlike air. The only time you would have a issue is if there was any air in the line, then you would have some movement from the air compressing

[@ianw3811]

@@coltstonecypher Thank you very much for your reply. That does makes sense scientifically, now that I think about it, liquid is almost entirely incompressible unlike gas. Really clever system you've built to get the performance benefits of coil-overs, I really hate airbag lift systems since they seemingly can't be driven hard at a track. Also, beautiful rocker link, and I love how the coilovers are located in such a visible location, similar to when you remove the hood of some racecars/hypercars.

[@craigw1649]

How have the QA1 mod series been treating you? Hard to find reviews on those.

[@coltstonecypher]

They're great. They're super adjustable in every way.

[@mariovargas887]

Like to the dog

[@danielcornista]

hahahaha i not sure if i love more the car or the dog

[@MrCyron]

What coilover set u use?

[@coltstonecypher]

They're QA1 mod series

[@bingbongap5558]

Do you have a video on why you built the hydraulic cantilever system

[@coltstonecypher]

Na. Just wanted to be able to slam it but still have the coilover feel. And obviously for the looks

[@bingbongap5558]

@@coltstonecypher howcome you chose hydraulics over airbags? Does it pair better with the cantilever?

[@coltstonecypher]

@@bingbongap5558 hydraulic fluid doesn't compress so all the movement is just in the coilover. If you did this with a airbag, the bag and coilover would be compressing and it would be difficult to tune it properly

[@bingbongap5558]

@@coltstonecypher thanks for the answers, love the build

[@michaeldennis9397]

What brand & type hydraulic cylinder did u use?

[@coltstonecypher]

Got them from a seller on ebay. It was difficult to find 10" side port cylinders

[@alexsaam2696]

What kind of coilovers are those?

QA1 Mod Series

[@vally6853]

I’d want to do this someday but, i dont wanna cut my bb🙈

[@coltstonecypher]

It's was hard for sure. But eventually you just stop caring haha

[@justinbaloh8331]

bags suck, this is way cool... the spring " rate will be way better with your setup...
