COROLLA GETS BUDGET COIL OVERS

[@duderserious]

The stance is great. I think you made the right choice with those coil overs. And I really dig the color of your Corolla. Cheers man

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you! I have been trying to decide on coil overs since I bought the new corolla. And these we’re the ones that seemed to be the best for what I needed as a decent price!

[@kidlo2050]

I'm still on stock suspension at 269k miles and I knew exactly who to come to for new part reviews for this car. My right rear strut is leaking and is fully covered in fluid. I thought about getting some more stock struts but I'm going with coilovers.

[@ponger4304]

I think it looks pretty good. The back could be raised a little more just so it’s no a pain to drive every day. Pretty unfortunate that the wheel got misaligned so be sure to update us once that’s fixed

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yeah going to be raising it up soon, and getting the height where I want it. As for the wheel, not sure why the alignment was so far off. But definitely will need to get one soon!

[@three11phil]

Good job man. Just got a 2008 yaris for super cheap and started mod'in it. Got some megan racing springs going on it and gonna build out the motor and keep it NA. The ultimate sleeper haha. Enjoyed your other turbo vids and fingers crossed lighting doesn't strike the same place twice. I'm in Tampa area myself.

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome! The Yaris seems like a great fun little car! And I sure hope so either! Cant be driving in anymore thunder storms! 😂

[@hollylaw8272]

farm people... we live on dirt roads. No way can we lower the car! I am getting ready to change out the cabin filter and the fan blower resistor since the air is weak until you get to the last notch. I just got done with the oil change and the air filter. I'm so glad you have videos on this car!!!!

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yeah Totally understand that you would not want to lower the car if you drive on a bunch of dirt roads!

[@antoinewilly7433]

11:00 Yes you need an alignment. With ALL suspension work(especially with replacing a whole part) an alignment is recquired after

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yeah will most likely get an alignment soon once I get the suspension dialed in.

[@Ferox]

Looking nice at that height. Never too low 😈

[@BrandonStellmach]

Exactly! Need more low!

[@ae86fiend]

Nice Corolla. I suggest getting a roll center/bump steer kit If you want your ride comfort to improve while being lowered and you can most likely run softer damper settings, too. Your daily driver shouldn't be brutal to drive. Get an alignment soon.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yeah that would be a good idea to add. And the ride is a little hard. But I have been so used to a harder ride I almost would rather have it, then soft suspension. But definitely will be getting an alignment soon once I get the ride height to where I want it!

[@Erick-Stafford]

Looking good buddy! Hey I got a question. Are you gonna run the same head/tail lights as the other Corolla or are you gonna try new ones?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you! And that has been a question I have been asking myself since I got this car. Either might be doing that or trying to make some custom ones.

[@mannyopolis20]

Great video. I have the same corolla but in auto and in the modsing faze now. I was looking into the truharts and rev 9, so I'm curious about the differences between them. This is my daily and i love it.

[@BrandonStellmach]

I had Rev9 coil overs on my last corolla. They were great coil overs. The TruHarts I have on this corolla, and they are good too, the ride quality is about the same. I would probably say the Truharts have a stiffer ride than the Rev 9.

[@mannyopolis20]

Thank you. I appreciate the reply. Hopefully, I can get either one of those soon and get modding. Also, is that a tablet for your screen? I'm subbing, so keep posting videos. Thanks from Ga

[@wesfields9322]

Recommendation, i knew you were going to do this to finish what you started. Add a rubber lip to protect those factory valances. Pretty much what you did to compesate with the other one but this time its just for protection. Also hopefully you still have the skid plate that protects the trans pan?

[@BrandonStellmach]

You might add a rubber lip to protect everything. As for the trans pan, this is a manual trans, so I don’t have a pan to worry about rubbing up against, and the trans is high enough where it won’t rub.

[@guitarplayer6262]

What’s a good adjustment if you want to keep the stock rims and tires? Would you adjust them before installing them or after installing them? Thank you

[@BrandonStellmach]

I typically would take off one of the front struts, and adjust the coil over to something similar to stock before installing them. It’s hard to judge height until you actually let the car on the ground! But with stock wheels and tires, you can adjust it pretty low with no issues!

[@guitarplayer6262]

@@BrandonStellmach can you adjust them once there installed and the car is on the ground? Or not really

[@BrandonStellmach]

@@guitarplayer6262yes you can adjust these while they are on the car!

[@Pallidus_Rider]

Would be nice to review the coilovers a month or year after alignment 🙏

[@BrandonStellmach]

Will definitely do a review on these as well as get an alignment soon too!

[@wastedoutcast4432]

just out of curiousity, when you bought the seat covers for your other corolla, how long did you wait for them to come in? I ordered about a month ago they still are in production it says.

[@BrandonStellmach]

They took about a week to receive. But I made sure the ones I ordered were in stock. If you add any customizing that usually makes the lead time about 8-10 weeks. So I just bought all black ones.

[@hollylaw8272]

Hey Brandon... what type of gas do you put into your corollas? I thought I read that it requires 91 octane, but my husband is insisting that he saw cheaper gas was ok. I'm not sure what to do, and I can not seem to find videos on it specific to corollas

[@BrandonStellmach]

I believe I answered your question on another comment, but 87 octane is perfectly fine for these corollas. Toyota deigns the engines to run on lower octane fuel.

[@TheWoodsman3]

Normally I go for the cheaper options and so far they have been way better than the big name bands with less problems! It’s literally a name people are pushing that’s it

[@BrandonStellmach]

The cheaper ones tend to be made very similar to most of the expensive one. The only things are would be the materials might be a little worse!

[@pmanic4158]

I currently have random blue lowering springs from the previous owner of my corolla.

[@BrandonStellmach]

The only lowering springs I can think of are God Speed for the corolla.

[@DemStankles]

I see you changed your mind. I think you made the right choice. All the adjustment is great if you are tracking the car. 97% of the time people buy coilovers, adjust them once and leave it. Looks good. Needs wheels 😂. Those stocks are poopsicles. 💩

[@BrandonStellmach]

👍 👍

[@thurznxz]

700$ is budget??????? there´s like 250$ ones out there

[@BrandonStellmach]

These are budget coil overs that are actually good! They are half the price of BC racing, and give you great handling! Cheaper ones like maxspeeding rods are very cheap and don’t give that good of handling!

[@GavinosuHighlights]

Those are extremely dangerous

[@awaisiqbal8934]

Then go for lowering springs up to 2 inch down from stock

[@GavinosuHighlights]

Megan racing lowering springs

[@ToyotaandDodgeGarage]

Love the wheels

[@BrandonStellmach]

Thank you!

[@Xanthro2]

I was legit going to ask if it would need an alinement after doing this, I'm glad you showed driving it. Thank you :) I hope you get it to where you want it height wise. I would not have it anywhere close to that low my self tbh, I do alot of bumpy trail rolling for fishing with my stock 04 S. If anything, I want to raise mine abit cuz that "body kit" keeps it about balled fist sideways (like holding a screw driver pointing at the sky, not throwing a punch) off the ground and it got bottomed out rubbed on parking lot entry driveways/slammed on trail roads more then a few times.

[@BrandonStellmach]

I wouldn’t want to try to take my corolla off road now. I feel that I would scrap against everything! Definitely will be easing it up a little bit so I’m Not to low!

[@Kaizen2013v]

How do you take out the bolts in the truck while the back of the car is jacked up?

[@BrandonStellmach]

I would recommend putting the car on jack stands on the pinch welds, and than you should be able to put the seats down and get to the Bolts.

[@abramdeloera2419]

I think you made the right choice

[@BrandonStellmach]

I agree! Think it’s best best for the price!

[@grcorollace]

I have BC coilovers second set my first one last me 12 years No COMPLAINS

[@BrandonStellmach]

Maybe one day I will try BC, I could buy 2 sets of these for 1 set of BC coilovers!

[@ayedh1423]

Where did you get the suspension system from?

[@BrandonStellmach]

I updated the description to have the links. But I ordered it from eBay.

[@scubamk7gli768]

Bring the front down a half and raise the rear a half and it will sit perfect. Enjoy

[@BrandonStellmach]

Totally agree! 👍

[@fly-zq9qn]

Does it ride better than the rev9?

[@BrandonStellmach]

Only have had them for a few weeks, and have almost been maxed out on the height, But so far they seem to handle great, but the ride does seem stiffer. But still want to adjust the height and drive some more before I give a honest review.

[@bryanmilanovich2585]

Look like my Corolla 2010 s 😊

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s awesome! I just need some wheels now!

[@christopher4pf230]

What size tires are you running ?

[@BrandonStellmach]

I’m not sure the size, but these are stock wheels and tire size.

[@ornwantu]

Is there a motorised adjustment coil over for corrolla?

[@BrandonStellmach]

The only adjustable type of coil over would be to get air suspension.

[@chillout8802]

[@1Stock11]

I’ve seen a switch on my 2010 Corolla next to the traction control does anyone else have it and know what it does?

I am not sure what it might be. Some times dealerships may add options that don’t normally come with the car. Does the button say anything on it?

[@1Stock11]

@@BrandonStellmach I’ve checked online and my manual and nothing to be found . It’s just a black switch with nothing on it

[@BrandonStellmach]

@@1Stock11 are you the original owner of the car? If not maybe someone else wired a switch for something they took off?

[@adamn5821]

That's low for my taste. The Corolla is already a bumpy ride. I can't imagine how bumpy it will feel now. I would also be worried about rubbing on the tires in the back and doing damage to the rear wheel wells. But I do like the content regardless.

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yeah it is pretty low, will eventually raise it up and get the ride height exactly where I want it! But honestly i have gotten used to having a stiff suspension, I like it more then the stock suspension!
