Installing $400 Coilovers on the Mazda 3!

[@schia3888]

I love how you film, you film as if youre actually talking to US rather than just talking to the camera. So many youtubers talk to the camera and its almost hard to watch. You bring us with you as if we are there rather than showing us what youre doing. If that makes sense.

[@mammoth-puppy3246]

Spot on! That's why it feels so much more welcoming. I've never stopped to honestly think about it

[@akeanthethird5539]

I'm in the UK with the corsas

[@tsivilsඞ]

Same

[@TangoRider]

Mazda 3 is the best car in the world

[@ryandoe11]

Indeed.

[@josetan1726]

Really is.. I have an M4 and still love to cruise on my Mazda 3 lol Im going to start to turn it into a project car

[@kennyrees2114]

Just bought it myself and I fell in love with it. It's an absolute joy to drive.

[@boppernostopper8598]

Then why put the worlds trashiest coils on it

[@isackhernandez3691]

I thought it was the Toyota 4runner

[@malcolmhamilton8090]

PLEASE do more Mazda3 vids!

[@Bikklo]

I own a 2005 Mazda 3, so I'm super hyped to see you working on one even though its a generation newer! I totally recommend doing LED head/tail lights and interior lights, it's a fairly inexpensive mod and makes the car feel just a bit more premium while also improving safety and visibility. Beyond that, just do the basics I say; exhaust, intake, injectors, ignition coils, aero. You might be surprised how mean those mazda engines can sound with a good cat-back kit!

[@renderyours510]

Fuck yeah I heard some dude with a cat back mazda 3 and it sounded wicked I was shocked when the dude said it was n/a

[@ryanscooterful]

We don't have injectors on our platform, even for my 08 speed3

[@Bikklo]

@@ryanscooterful damn really? Not even like... Universal fit ones?

[@rwelsher1911]

You can do exhaust, headers, coils probably aren’t that worth it, you can turbo the 2.5, you can advance the ignition timing in like 5 minutes and costs nothing and that’s worth it, I installed Tein S Tech lowering springs and that was worth the 4 hours and $170 bucks, CorkSport has a bunch of stuff too, CAI is kinda worth it? There is a ton it’s just hard to find really

[@Bikklo]

Good to know, I'll keep that in mind when I finally save enough/make enough to finally do some big mods lol

[@stevereynoso7018]

Robbie! you are the best! I own a 2012 Mazda 3, and I can never find any videos on what sort of mods to do to it without it being a Ricer. I don't need it to be a super race car at all. Keep it up buddy!

[@mr.robust3140]

Things to that Mazda , tint windows , black out headlight housings , new wheels (in my opinion go gold or bronze wheels it will have a nice contrast with white) , tires , small front splitter and canards (nothing crazy) , muffler delete, small rear diffuser (nothing crazy) all in all you have a fun daily with reliability

[@rpgfreak92787]

I am raceland's biggest fan. I recommend them to everyone. Best balance of performance and ride quality and you cant beat their price!

[@ConnorTierney]

Wish they had them for my car :(

[@ColtonRichter]

I see $400 coilovers & Mazda 3 in one sentence and I think Racelands immediately 😂

[@nachosmai]

are racelands not good?

[@chrisatwood3168]

4:22 Mostly true, rust in Cali is pretty good but cars from the bay area/ SF are generally pretty rust-prone because of all the salt and moisture in the air (Though not as much as up north with snow).

[@TruZule_]

Like I love certain brands. But I love being frugal more, lol. So seeing more every day mods is awesome. Love the mods that don't make drastic changes but when added to the whole make the package amazing overall.

[@nate34006]

I had a pontiac grand prix for a few years and had no intentions on doing anything to it. I just got a 2014 mazda 3 hatch a few months ago and I now want to do so many things to it! I thought about lifting or lowering and all the mods I could do to it! but damn dude, I wish I had your knowledge! You make it seem so easy and seamless! I dont know what to do the options are endless! Thanks for being a dope inspiration!

[@EliteSlayer542]

My Gf has this car too. Morimoto 2 stroke 2.0s work really well in the stock projector. The highs can be converted to 9011 bulbs for cheap and they are WAY brighter. LED tails look great with a mild tint (50% tint for that light smoked look is what I did). OEM side skirts from the Skyactiv 2012 model are cheap and easy to find. A corksport RSB makes a massive difference in handling. Also a good quality/ well greased poly bushings kit sharpens everything up.

[@anthonygonsalves7020]

I own a 2005 Mazda 3 sedan. I used to have H&R street coilovers for a year and then replaced them with Raceland Ultimos on for the following - WELL over 7k miles (i lost track), since March this month (yes, I drive a LOT), drove them almost maxed out for majority of those months then completely maxed out for two months and live in horrible street/pothole filled NYC, and drive spirited. - They have held up very well. They don't feel as good (comfort) as the H&Rs because of the shorter shock body and slightly different spring rate and the build quality wasn't just as good, however the Racelands were a GREAT purchase. They have done justice holding ground- to-body while spirited drives and playing cat&mouse (....on closed roads of course ;) and I have not felt like myself or my better half was in danger at ALL with those on. They did not destroy tophats like my H&Rs did (in that year, it's killed 4!). They DID blow faster than the H&Rs but then there's their LIFETIME warranty. Get the top hats and bearings when you purchase them because if those blow, you can get them replaced as well (one tophat mount ring separated). They DO eventually start winding out so once a month I check them to make sure they are all level with the height I prefer (maybe it's because I put antisieze on the threads? IDK.) - If you're taking your car to the track or autocross or some kind of racing where you're especially turning often, or you daily but don't care to check your coilovers or can't do work on your own, get something better. Otherwise, if it's your daily, you drive spirited and you're always tinkering with your car anyway, they are a great INEXPENSIVE option with a good build quality. It's a newish company with no middle man so give them a chance. Shit, don't forget BC Racing started out in [insert country in Asia they are from, I forgot] and worked their way up to where they are now and people don't give them much crap anymore. - TL;DR They held up very well and I have no problem getting them again.

[@anthonygonsalves7020]

Oh yeah, and they go pretty damn low. You can always play around with it (taking collars out, etc) to make them go lower. I don't suggest it, but *shrug*. Raceland Ultimos (the one in this video) are much lighter than stock struts+springs, too. For those interested in catbacks, TBH, another inexpensive option that sounds freaking amazing is the SR*S (yes...SR*S lol) cat back. Just note if you have the sedan, you're going to HAVE to extend it...ask me how I Know :)

[@jasonandrews7355]

I just bought a 2012 sedan (2.0l 148bhp, 5 speed stick) two days ago, I don't even have the thing yet! Still, I'm already looking up modding options lol. I don't want to do anything too crazy, but an exhaust might be nice...I'd love to get the power similar to the 2.5, which actually surprised me when I tested it.

[@Erickikii]

Thank you for this video. I’m installing mine on my Mazda 3 this weekend, and this video showed me some things I didn’t realize haha. Car looks good!

[@nickmorgan5958]

Coil overs look so much better than stocks 😍

[@jacoblloyd2573]

Hey robbie, I just watched AMMOnyc vinyl wrap an entire car, and now I want to make my hood (only) vinyl wrapped gold and then a clear bra over it. I would like to see you do a vinyl wrap somewhere easy like a hood or rear trunk! Throwing a friendly suggestion out there because I love tuning in to your projects. They are nifty for info and seeing a process and you make awesome results.

[@acms3340]

i own a 2010 ms3 and i just paid to have my headlights retro fitted. it was extremely expensive but it would be a lot cheaper if you do it yourself. maybe throw some halos and an LED switchback strip and black paint. its a decent amount of wiring but i think it would be a fun and interesting DIY

[@Ghostboy401]

What type of impact do you use? You should do a video about what tools you use.

[@myguy3668]

Can’t wait to see the Civic on the dyno, also, it’s sweet to see another car being worked on

[@RichardSmith-ic1zw]

[@naggingmanity1739]

Make or buy a splitter for the Mazda

May aswell only be subscribed to this man , what a hero

So how did it turn out it's been atleast 2yrs how long did they last

[@dcempiredetailing7502]

Just got my own sp25 and didn't realise years ago u made this. Awesome

[@mrs_xgaming]

Lets say if the top extra barring wasn’t in the package deal I bought, could I use the one from the old shock? For front

[@cmjg0214]

Mrs_xGaming you should buy new ones

[@DivideSubtract]

Love your videos man, you're one of the only people I actually enjoy watching on KZbin :)

[@jeremysanders9771]

Put a front lip on that Mazda! Would look pretty sick if you had some side skirts not to ricer and a rear lip as well

[@ezimpreza7263]

if you have to do thrm again, stick a pry bar in LCA and then air hammer the knuckle down after taking the pinch bolt off, when insalling sand the inside of the knuckle and then lower it in grease, they are cake

[@arikares]

i literally have the same exact car so im definitely hype about you uploading more videos on it!

[@RyanRicker]

I just got a Mazda 3 and looking to do a few minor upgrades to it. Thanks for the video.

I'd love to see you guys throw in a nice aftermarket touchscreen head unit!

[@stefancampbell3846]

Eonon does good aftermarket touch screens for mazda.

[@aeyherr]

The easiest way to swap/adjust the rear springs is to take out the top sway bar endlink connected to the control arm imo

[@maxxas5067]

I've heard of raceland. I'm glad you're thinking different than others. I'm actually using your videos as blueprints to my project cars so I appreciate the mixed diversity of parts.

Looks great! I have ultimos on my neon and love them! Even after almost a year still great!

[@ed4787]

Had these coil’s on my eg like 8 years ago, maxed out and never gave me a problem. Oh and they rode close to stock lol, which is a good thing if it’s just a daily

[@xanvavy]

nice video guys! if you wish to get the most relaiable and affordable parts for your mazda, buy from corcksport. They only make parts for mazda and their aftermarket parts last forever 👍

[@acadienbeast6787]

put a corksport catback exaust with race pipe it sound sooo good on the mazda 3’s

[@nazarrakhmanov9357]

Do a budget mazda next. Not miata tho. That's very over done

[@phiillzzz807]

Bro a mazda 6 v6 6spd would be dope af! Those things are super sleepers and with a few mods they can get up to lux sedans and mopars...

or a mazda protege 5

[@CapnFlappyJaw42]

@Nazar Speed6's are expensive af. Parts are hard to come by (at least around here). The regular 6 with the v6 6speeds really are sleepers though. My best friend had one for a few months (someone rear ended him and had to total the car) and it fucking WENT.

[@James-rg4kv]

Where did you get $400 shocks? Most coil over I've seen are like $1900

I've heard theyre Street Z Basis are garbage

Hoboe Mojo Actually I'm incorrect, previously I've been looking on dealer websites like Fitment Inc., but on Tein's own website they actually do have several Mazda 3 kits/dampers/springs: www.tein.com/srch/us_search.php?maker=MAZDA&carmodel=MAZDA3&modelyear=default&item=default

My abs isn’t working on my 2004 Mazda 3, I need to zip tie my abs cable on my front left coil over, Idk what else to do with it. I also need to install the front left cv axle and maybe left front bearing assembly Coil overs are pretty awesome though I have front coil overs and rear adjustable springs, but not the shocks yet, need to measure, need more mileage on the stock shocks

[@joebonic1415]

Bro that impact driver is a BEAST

[@billytalentrs]

hey man the snow and salt in the winter is pretty harsh on the coils. Maybe you should look into getting some coils cozys for some protection

[@MrRayoBlanco]

Did you have to remove or cut the rear control arm bumper stop by the spring?

[@chusay2562]

You should put roof racks and tint the window real dark and put a spoiler on they look phat with them

Do smooth mods, ie tinted headlights/taililights. Maybe Get better brakes?

[@joshuam2233]

I was just wondering how they held up... would you recommend them.....

awww shieeet they start modding the daily haha typical carguy things #ripdaily

[@Ryan-Louis]

You should do a fog light install on it! They really help show off the front bumper, and that "smile" gen 2's are known for. I'll be Installing new headlights, and deleting the muffler on my Mazda 3 later this Fall :) Taking care of that nasty wheel gap in the Spring next year though.

[@HoUsEoFcAtS78]

Are you having any issues with turning or bottoming out on the fenders?

[@Nomadfilms_]

How much preload did you set? And how high/low did you twist the rear adjustment threads? I did the same install with Rev9s and the car is bouncy AF! Most of the bounce is from the rear which I assume the problem is there. Thanks!

[@dylanc2252]

When you first put it on was that the lowest setting?

Do Xenon or LED headlights or brake disks/calipers. Thinking of upgrading mine

I'm not reading through all these comments to see but a knuckle spreader tool is a thing. You can get it pretty well anywhere.
