How To - 2014+ Kia Soul Coil Over Install

[@thetreblerebel]

It's good to see some people doing some modifications to the Kia Soul. I think it's the most underutilized hatchback out there that has a lot of potential performance. I'm sure you could put a bigger turbo charger or engine swap it or flare the wheels etc and get a little hot hatch out of the deal. Not to mention a used Kia Soul in very good shape goes for pretty cheap on the used market

It's sure nice to have ve a friend who can help you with these kind of installs. Great job!

[@godlovemerica]

Going to 100% honest here first impressions looked like a really amateur video upon watching said video very pleasantly surprised tbh great info super detailed keep it up man

[@gostickorgohome]

I appraise it! I’ve been so busy with my new job, living situation, and family stuff but I’ll be picking up where I left off, most likely after the holidays.

[@carlosh7166]

Thats pretty sick great video makes me want to look into coilovers for my 2018 !.

[@prestonrose5627]

Plan on making a follow up to this video? Interested in how you guys like the coilovers. Keep it up, enjoyed this one.

[@gostickorgohome]

You know I hasn’t thought about that but I probably should. I’ll ask him and see if he wants to do that. Give them a review.

[@donnyjosker1980]

Yeah I wonder if them same coilovers would fit my 2020 kia soul or not because it is so hard to find any for this year kia soul .I wish they had a bunch of aftermarket parts ..and if things persist I might even take molds of the stock front and back fenters so I can make a wide body like something like a liberty walk kit and have more then one option for style as well as a fiberglass version and possibly a carbon version .

[@donnyjosker1980]

As well as a hatch lip like the whale tail style as well as one that's less aggressive.

This is exactly what I want to complete on my '16. Informative and easy to follow diy instructions. Thank you for putting the products in the description. How long did this take you to complete?

[@gostickorgohome]

This was about an afternoon. I’d round up and give yourself 5 hours, just in case. If you haven’t ever done much on a car before, you may want to give yourself a bit more than that.

[@AnthonyGonzalez-lw1ek]

That looks so nice 👍🏼

[@markphillips4832]

I bought the same SF coilover set for my 2018 Soul. Do you remember what damper settings you landed on, front and back?

[@memeet2511]

Demonios que genial se ve yo tengo un Kia Soul 2010

[@nikkigolightlygames]

I’m looking to lift my 2018 Turbo Soul 2 inches.

[@ianbrooks521]

Very informative...im guessing a 2011 soul isn't much different?

[@gostickorgohome]

From what I can tell, it’s very similar, yes.

[@robertbennett3363]

Do you know what size the Enkei rims are? And what offset? Thanks!

[@kylepeterson]

how's the handling and ride improvement ?

[@gostickorgohome]

So these have “pillow ball” mounts in the front, and on rough roads it transmits a lot of that into the car, mostly through sound. It handles way better though, which was the point. And overall it still rises decently - if you’re used to a lowered car’s ride, you’ll be alright

[@jamesp2246]

Wheel Color? Hey thanks for the video guy's really inspiring!, Just wondering what color those rims are?. Thanks again.👍

[@gostickorgohome]

He got them powder coated at a local place. It’s an off grey color that’s pretty nice.

[@Th3Sush1R011]

did you get an intake for the kia? and may i ask which one you got?

[@mardano8121]

Whats the tire size? And the specs

[@mr0feelings]

👌🏼

[@tristenlittke7593]

How much does it cost wanna lift my sorento 2-3 inches debating on coilspring or spacers

[@gostickorgohome]

Usually whoever makes the coil over setup will tell you to what extent it will raise or lower the car. This setup is designed for lowering so I doubt it will be able to lift the car, but the manufacturer’s site is in the video description

[@speinator5519]

Have your buddy join the Kia soul USA group on facebook, we would all like to see this

[@gostickorgohome]

He already is. Put some pictures up on May 22nd, 2020 of it

[@pigmyandtheamazon4154]

So if I have a soul like this but I want a more comfortable ride for long trips without changing the ride height what would you recommend

[@gostickorgohome]

Please correct me if I’m misunderstanding: You want to get some modification so that it sits at the normal ride height but rides nicer/more comfortably for long trips? Well, I’d need to go and look at what’s available on the market, but the easiest (and really only 2) solutions are: - Different set of shocks/coil overs - different tires Tires can make a huge difference in ride quality. Their inflation pressure can, but usually not much of a difference. A cheaper route than getting a completely new coil over setup would be to get adjustable shocks or at least performance shocks from, say, Bilstein or Koni. In order to see about ride quality I would give them a call as ask, and see what others have to say.

[@burydinsm0ke]

I was thinking about giving these a try. How are they holding up?

[@gostickorgohome]

Going to do a follow up vid with him after driving it for a year. From what he’s told me they’ve been solid so far.

[@dmitrydzhemilev8588]

What size wheels how much wide

[@gostickorgohome]

See the other comment

[@HKSguru]

Whats the wheel and tire specs?

[@gostickorgohome]

Armando E they are 18x8.5 with either a +35 or +38 offset, and it’s a 235/40 tire

[@irisbaez1972]

SHIT. YOU HAVE TO DISASSEMBLE THE WHOLE FRONT TO GET A SIMPLE PART OUT. I will keep my 2012 until die.

[@gostickorgohome]

It took us all of 5 minutes to get that off. It’s not a big deal lol

[@irisbaez1972]

@@gostickorgohome ok, but I don't have to at all in my soul 2012.

[@gostickorgohome]

@@irisbaez1972 I understand that, which is good. And I prefer not to have to either. That being said, My point is that even with that it only adds a few minutes. It seemed like you thought it was a huge deal and it really isn’t.

[@kenholt8297]

You guys are not very bright at least not in automotive repair, but you're quit entertaining to watch! 🥴🤣🤣

[@adairjanney7109]

what a waste of money bunch of waste should have lifted it not lowered it, its a freakng soul
