Finally! I Installed Coilovers on Forester Gump! // HKS Hipermax IV-GT

[@carlbarker7368]

It takes heart and intelligents to not only understanding the work being done but also to understand how it will be picked up as a viewer. There are so many other you tuber trying to do what Sarah does but man if I not get a dizzy head from it. Video is so all over the place and so fast talking. I do appreciate Sarah's patient and all the hard work she does every day for us to learn and for our Entertainment. I know she will achive all of her goals and dreams!

[@marcovarela6702]

Sarah,I bought the same car(WhiteXT) pre-ordered in 2014 with every single option you could get..I even did the same fog light modifications you have..I pass the car down in 2016 to my daughter who graduated and is now a registered nurse👩🏼‍⚕️ ....Your Gump always reminds me of my relationship with my daughter... Shout out from New York City stay safe

[@vformarallo]

the OCD paid off today, i can´t imaging taking the wheels off and finding it that clean haha subaru cherry blossom is a nice colour too, even if noone sees it you know its there. Cheers keep up with the good content, specially with how things are in the world. Cheers Sarah!

[@Zecro67]

Sarah, I ran into the exact same issue with the rear strut bolt when I helped my daughter lower her Forester XT a whole 1.5"with upgraded front & rear springs... Love your videos !!! Keep up the awesome job you do !!! Not everyone can appreciate how much harder it is to work on cars alone. I feel your pain! As for the pillow try a creaper because they are usually padded on the back with a raised pillow headrest.

[@mr_torch]

You have one of the cleanest Forresters out there 😍💯

[@carlosmarquez3844]

Probably THE cleanest one

[@ronaldhull8057]

Awesome video! Love the humor and the attention to detail. It warms my heart to see a person who truly loves their vehicle.

[@redscortgt93]

The cleaning is the part I absolutely hate the most, but I believe it’s so necessary. Lol I spent most of last Sunday cleaning the transmission from my 96 F-150. Love the HKS coilovers and the Subaru. ‘04 Subaru Forester here. Keep up the good work and thanks for the content.

[@802Garage]

I've always found that Subaru was very ease of maintenance and repair focused since at least the early 90s. The internet loves to hate on them, but most have never touched one. My favorite car brand to work on by far! Great work as always, Sarah! Those look really nice. Also "Why twerk when you can torque?" Would be a pretty great merch idea.

[@jeremyanthony9300]

Aaron, please stay safe in Vermont. When are you going to do more videos? What do you think on Emelias new vette?

[@802Garage]

@@jeremyanthony9300 I'm safe! New video this weekend though nothing crazy. Hopefully a few vids a week at least coming soon. The Vette is sweet. Just wish they made a manual still.

[@Primus54]

It appears that I somehow missed watching this video… 3 years ago! 🤣 It’s fun to take a trip in the Wayback Machine to the familiar garage where it all began. Thank you, Sarah. 👍👍👍

[@agrippa1234]

Kurt would be proud; I've actually been outside his house (just drove by) in Seattle as I'm only about 45 minutes south of there (especially these days); way to stay productive amid "interesting" times, well done

[@EdwoodCA]

0:55 Nice! Rage Against the Machine "Evil Empire" shirt.

[@joeyzilka3461]

I've been catching up on your projects, and learning who you are through your videos. As a professional Mechanic, I was giving you a look when you complemented Engineers. Glad you caught yourself not two minutes later, when faced with one of their classic blunders. :)

[@Klotsuk]

Hi Sarah, always look forward to your videos, your sense of humor and car talk. Keep it going! 👍😷

[@bigjongoose4384]

Sarah you are a blast to watch. You really know your stuff. Love your sense of humor and you are a lovely young lady to boot.

[@allielerman1414]

hey Sara, thankyou for your service. keep America safe. I know you spent hours on detailing your vehicle. I saw someone using dry ice..

[@makecba]

10:18 finally, someone was able to put my life into words

[@jeff1993]

they put the bolt like that so it dosnt fall out if the nut comes off

[@Edyth_Hedd]

Sarah, your videos are great. Just the right combination of mad skill and dorky vulnerability.

[@mikef3300]

I really like forester gump. It’s my favorite vehicle on your channel.

[@troyfankell6581]

Sarah, Those Hipermax coilovers are beautiful! I would let it settle a moment as others have said. May I suggest half a degree negative camber just because the tall aspect ratio tire tries to scrub the outside in the factory's zero camber setting. That rear bar is a nice upgrade too.

[@davidandrew2610]

Howdee from Lockdown New Zealand , hehe puzzles are good for us all darlin , our cars are 3d jigsaw's puzzles . Patience being the key . Before you touch your spring's undo all your lower control arm bushing bolts 2 /3 turns and take forester for a gentle ride , braking and side to side . Now the easy part , knock up 2 ramps that you can safely park forester on and are able to lay under and torque up all your bolts . If you put abit of weight in him , rear & front and on top of engine will slightly preload you suspension in its ideal working hight . Bonus it wont tear the centers out of your bushes . Have a good day and keep up the good work .

[@bradfield175]

Was watching some of your older videos with little Sarah you 2 make the videos even better. You 2 should do more together

[@DanMasters]

I used to have clean cars like that - before I had kids. Enjoy it!!!

[@wild_lee_coyote]

I like how your gloves start out black then slowly change to pink. Nice subtle transition.

[@SarahnTuned]

Pink ones are thin and used for detailing normally, but with the shortage of mechanic gloves, I have to use them sparingly now.

[@markphilpot4981]

The Gumpster getting some love! The crowd goes wild. You can always reorient those bolts if it doesn’t cause any issues, but I digress! Do it your way Sarah! It’s your Gump! You haven’t got that other stuff done yet! What’s the holdup? Yah, yah!😁👍🏻👏👏👏💖

[@rickym5474]

What's funny is when I got my SF5, I called him Forest Gump, AKA Thomas the Hank Engine. Fast forward to a couple of months later, I discover your channel! However my Gump is very different to yours. Mine is usually covered in dirt and mud, has A/T tyres, a roof basket, something is usually ends up bent or broken, and my Gump is more often than not loaded with my camping gear! Keep up the good work, and stay quirky Sarah!

[@dc2renteria]

Awesome, I've been waiting for more Forester content. I love your Forester, it is so clean. You under rate your Forester, I would love to see more videos on it!

[@dsubversion]

This is almost a full install guide. Good work 👌👌👌

[@brian117]

Love watching your videos. Reminds me of how I used to work on my cars when I had a garage. Keep killin' it!

[@ashlyknapp1798]

YES,YES, YES! Right up front you said you paid for these great HKS's yourself ! You demonstrated a passion for putting your money where your mouth is. The tone of your voice was a giveaway to what was in your heart combined with your intellect, delightful. you spoke in a very very sincere tone. Practically impossible for any product producer to pay for. Better than Tom Selleck or Henry Winkler. Next new car you buy asked the public relations people for an auto writer discount. Subaru gave me one.

[@robertadair6612]

A big thankyou for the smiles you bring forth!!

[@MitchJ]

Hi Sarah- so nice to see you. I can tell the Gump is happy with the new coilovers. Nice shiny new hardware to go with your nice shiny car. Love from Michigan!

[@Ninakoklahombi]

Mad balance, and time laps. You killed another great video! All the best.

[@J-D6969]

what a super youtuber so cute and love the sense of humour

[@Monster11B]

Oh wow... it's cool to find out you are in the same place. The roads here you need this upgrade.

[@quoddles3411]

I love your work, Sarah. Your humour makes it even more worthwhile..!! Keep up the good work....love from Down Under

[@benniewalker312]

I’m beginning to wonder how much of an effect Caddyshack had on Sarah’s early years. Great Video!

[@mtacoustic1]

Nice detailing! Unlike my Jeep that still has mud from the trip to Deadhorse, AK I took four years ago. Modern cars still have a long way to go to be mechanic friendly- you have to be double-jointed to change the headlight bulbs on a Jeep Grand Cherokee. On a friend's 70's Volvo the job took only 5 minutes with no tools required.

[@dmbworks8094]

in my experience you will want to maintain the factory rake from front to back to maintain the weight transfer while cornering. while test driving pay attention to the weight transfer in the rear of the vehicle which is needed to aid cornering in awd vehicles.

[@SarahnTuned]

DmbWorks right on!

[@harrisonperformance]

This is epic! Thank you so much for your patronage and supporting our local small business! You are the bomb!

[@mikescarguide3950]

HKS stuff is dope! You’re stylin now!!

[@robsendall9847]

Great vid Sarah, as always. Love your humour and appreciation of engineered stuff. Gump is looking great, as are you. Stay safe 😆🐧🐧🐧🐧

[@mikeb3172]

The rear can sit up high if the bushes were tightened with the ride up high... rubber bushes are vulcanised on both pin & outter shell so hold energy and wear out if they're not tightened at ride height...

[@anydaynow01]

You always have the best soundtracks to your videos!

[@southpawgarage4718]

00:05:30 Love the "Happy Gilmore" reference. 👌 Use that line myself often.... Probably too often. I guess that's what happens when you work on old stuff! 😜😜😜

[@derekwalsh9625]

I love your videos Sarah!! You’re the reason I watch KZbin 😊

[@lordraiden5398]

I have a 2009 Forester that I installed ISC coilovers on. Fronts have camber adjustments but were not needed. I marked my camber bolts on the fronts before removing them. I put them back in the exact spot. When I went for alignmenr front was perfect. Rears on the other hand where a mess. Not only was the camber off but so was the toe. I went as low as I could go but tires are still not tucked into fenders. I bought ISC lca's and some adjustable toe arms now my Forester handles like a gocart and I still have decent ground clearance.

[@wakeupamerica4610]

DANG IT SARAH!!!...... YOU POSTED THIS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY GAME OF SOLITARE!!!!!..... hufff....now i have to stop playing to watch you work on gump..... (as if im suffering because of it lol) grwat vid....your humor is still fire....love the vids.

[@harmab2]

I just found your channel a few weeks ago, love it!!

[@FixitBongbong]

11:01 I've been saying this for years!! I get neck, jaw, back, ab cramps. After a long day laying under a car I feel like I've been beat up.

[@jamesb990]

Hi Sarah nice white coilovers with Gold shiny bits. Love you're work.

[@Dave-fx5zw]

Good quality and matching colors don't happen often enough. That rear lateral arm to knuckle bolt does come out past the knuckle. The ball joint that the Forester and the STI use there allows the joint to pivot, which would allow the bolt to clear. The knuckle can't block a bolt that goes into the knuckle.

[@iMintyNinja]

What an amazing job filming as always.

[@user-qm9oo2fd2o]

Funny....Our ‘15 XT just had a recall to replace suspension springs. The dealership called us to get it done. They are spending a lot of time contacting customers to drum up business.

[@mikeverdiesen]

Hey Sarah as Jeff said to prevent the bolt drop when the nut drops. You should know as I am also former Aerospace engineer. That's basics, bolt down or bolt backwards (law of Newton) Must say you are as good as you are a beauty. However some nice rides, love the MR2!!! Greetings from the Netherlands Europe. Stay home stay safe and keep the vids coming

[@mikeverdiesen]

Btw what Aerospace where you engineering, mine was Fokker main (F100 F70 F16) , Airbus production (A380XX), KLM (Boeing 747 767 737 MD11 DC10 and several Learyets)

[@jeremypleso676]

Slapping on KW coilovers and a 034 Motorsports rear sway bar on my '13 GLI. Stoked.

[@tymeryder7264]

Anyone that gets excited over coilovers is definitily good people. Thanks for wrenching info, humor and maybe a naughty thought or two. lol

[@neoanderson7]

Always nice to get a quality upgrade installed. 👍🏻👏🏻 Gump is pimpin! 😉😎

[@rogerjohnson2515]

Always entertaining and fun to watch, Sarah keep the great videos coming, thanks.

[@Zigg317]

I know you're in AZ and not in New England anymore, but I really wish I had ceramic coated my old coilovers. They became very hard to manage due to the road grime and corrosion, not to mention the springs did find a way to rust. Also, your kumquat looked fantastic.

[@sporttruck5103]

Great job, Sarah. High-quality parts, even the colors fit nicely. Gumb looks really good now, as do you of course ; )

[@nservais]

An empty coolant jug makes a surprisingly nice head rest when working under vehicles

[@shanemartin2762]

Nice blue and black coilovers.

[@davidmccoy9021]

Bounty Paper Towel roll is the neck pillow of choice around these parts

[@JJBanuelos]

Just got done watching this video which you are amazing! Love your attitude! Keep the great content coming!

[@fiddycaliber947]

Entertaining as always, the Gump is coming along awesome!

[@igotaction]

You could see it settle in the rear as soon as load was put on it driving out, take stills of it right when it was let down and then once load was put on it. Looks good!

[@celestinoybarra3057]

Those coil overs are so dope, all us car people are so nerdy when we get new things lol!

[@bobbyrios2k223]

Awesome job getting the gump lower! It's looking nice! 👍

[@moof2]

I think that a high wing that is about half the height of that blue car example you showed would look really good on Forrestor G. Ride height looks really good it no longer looks like a grocery getter w the too high rear end. Thus my comment about the wing, keep the car low/level but add a somewhat tall wing to give it some rear end attitude. I hope the test drive went well, I wanted more at the end of this vid so I can learn how coil overs work.

[@Max-iz8jr]

Sarah, you make it look so easy ! Awesome YU video !

[@Dresknowsbest]

Congrats on your install. Looks great already.

[@jimlester5003]

Great job Sarah. I love how clean you got Gump. That's insane. Lol

[@rice-rocket]

The Scooby is looking mint, Sarah. 👍Painting the anti-rollbar is a nice touch. 😎

[@slobilobstechster3213]

Always great tunes.... awesome taste in music

[@matrixhalox]

OMG Sarah is the first person I know to buy HKS Hipermax Coilovers! O_O

[@peterbertuglia1378]

awesome awesome, lowered 2 inches all the way round... beautiful.

[@rodjanusz3084]

Sarah sorry about my comment a retired mechanic, like your work it's awesome to see girl's like cars but hydraulic hoses have steel braided in them 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@MrElectroman3]

I believe the dimensions of the rear fenders are different than the front, that is why clearance appears to be less in the rear. I have the same issue with my 04 forester on STI struts/springs. There exist a product called "saggy butt spacers" that you install between the rear struts and the vehicle to fix that appearance issue.

[@bray7607]

If I bought a car from you I would always be scared of taking it out in case it got dirty, I would definitely feel guilty after all the hard work you always put into your builds. Forester Gump looks fantastic after your 5-day cleanathon =)

[@houla]

The roof, the roof, the roof is on fire.... Entertaining as usual. luv ya.

[@SarahnTuned]

houla love me some bloodhound gang!

[@johnceragioli9671]

Nice lemons Sarah! Make sure when you get it aligned, get it corner weighted too!
