ISC N1 COILOVERS // BMW E90 Installation

[@g07hamprinc38]

No "yo yo yo", none of the annoying "boi / bro" shenanigans! Very informative, very clear and stable filming. So detailed step by step. My E91 is done but I still watched your guide

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you very much, I'm glad you appreciate my video style.

[@Soravia]

And no shitty loud music

[@tomlapointe8171]

This is an excellent video and your ability to explain slowly and with calm demeanour is very well done. Thank you.

[@ianevans98]

I’m installing these on an e46 and NOBODY has a DIY for them. Thank you for this outstanding walk through. I let my buddy at ISC know how informative it was. Great Job!!

[@lachie3689]

you deserve way more subs, your vids are insanely professional and very well detailed. Best of luck as time goes on ✌️

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you! I truly appreciate your support, it's comments like this that keep me going!

[@BMWE90HQ]

I love my ST coilovers it completely changes the way the car sits and rides. It is my favorite mod so far!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Completely different! The handling is amazing.

[@AIITheGoodies]

Proper English and we'll documented install. Well done keep up the good work

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks bro!

[@eaglei_trade]

Bro you're such a gangster. I love how you make this videos so detailed and simple. Your car is lucky to have you and do are we! Keep it up, thanks!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks man! That means a lot to me, thank you for the support!

[@PistonPerspective]

I’m making an offer on a 2009 328i rwd tomorrow and I’m so excited! Binge watching all ur videos to see what I want to do! Can’t wait!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Awesome! Congrats!

Best coilover installation EVER 👍🏾 good job

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks bro! Glad you liked it.

[@xExiige]

Love the amount of communication with each step. Excellent video dude! :)

[@JDCarsChannel]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks man!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Glad you liked the vid! Thanks man!

[@bmwplayground]

Great DIYs man! Thanks for sharing. I think it would majorly improve the quality of them by adding torque specs in during for each bolt and section, or text on screen. Not hard to look them up, but make for a much smoother install with your videos when the viewer doesn't have to leave the video with dirty hands to search for accurate torque specs. Keep it up!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Absolutely dude! Good idea! Thanks for the support.

[@BVonBuescher]

Dude, no offense, but you’re probably the last person should be giving advice on how to make BMW DIY videos after checking out your channel. I do agree that torá specs would be nice to have.

[@bmwplayground]

@@BVonBuescher no offense but I checked out your channel and you shouldn’t even be on KZbin, with your toxic comments and your singular video speaking on mental health. Do you have any qualifications for that? There’s another field that I’m also versed in. I made a couple videos for fun, I’m not a BMW KZbinr, and yes I made a silly 10 minute VLOG style video about a license plate cover :p Who cares lol. What’s you’re point? My comment here was to help beginners have an even deeper understanding and get even more out an already great video. Which is what the creator asked for. Constructive comments. Not you jumping from his channel and then to mine and whoever else’s, leaving not one but two lame, toxic and unproductive comments. Also, I’ve built multiple race cars, including several 600+whp BMWs. I feel sad for you if these kinds of comments are what makes you feel good about yourself. You are preaching mental health on your page but go around being toxic and destructive to others, who could have potential mental health issues on KZbin. Have a good one dude. Someone should pray for you or you should look into going to therapy on how to be respectful. Sorry about your feelers🙏🏾

[@Juammpy81]

Great content, definitely my favorite BMW channel! God bless you man!

[@djblanton]

Really appreciated the detail you put in this video. I can only imagine the amount of time it took to do so so thx!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you! I'm glad you appreciate the video!

[@Futemire]

Thanks man, I used this video as an install guide.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Glad to help!

JD YOU DA MAN I CAN'T DRAW A STRAIGHT LINE WITH A RULER I COULDN'T DO THAT IN A MILLION YEARS CHEERS

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hahaha thank you, Eric.

[@FalseShxpherd]

Removing interior in E90's is always a pain in the ass. Thank god you dont have to take the seats out lol.

[@todtod3192]

Why? It's only snap on plastic pieces on the doorsteps that i found to be really annoying to put back

[@FalseShxpherd]

Older cars used to be much more easier.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yeah... it's a lot of trim for that one nut.

[@rubenbordonbordon7026]

Guess u never have put coilovers on an e39 sedann, u need to remove the whole rear interior

[@zhiznloca684]

Thanks brotha! I appreciate the support!

[@Senokone]

Thanks man, this is exactly what i needed!!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Glad I could help!

[@lhaitianpapil]

Mine are shipping out today. Lowkey wanted to hold off on pulling the trigger but had my car up on the lift checking something else and seen the passenger strut was blown. Figured nows the best time nearing 91k on the clock. Got sleeves and rear extensions for the dampening adjustment. Hopefully with extra love and care NYC doesn’t destroy them.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hell yeah man! Definitely be careful of potholes in the city!

[@DrizziG]

Woahhh, what kind of jack is that?

[@paulewing1094]

Salty roads = anti-seize is your friend! Great video. This is the next mod for my e90. Interested in how the ride is with the high miles on the rest of the suspension components. I have 194k on my car.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Definitely a good idea to apply anti-seize! I'll be sure to make a follow up video on the ride!

[@David-rv9hb]

Dope Man I recently bought coilovers for my 328xi too and I'm excited to install them on

[@JDCarsChannel]

They make a huge difference in ride quality!

[@jellyfishedx]

Excellent video. No bs just straight to business. You covered everything. BMW really didn't make it easy to lower their cars lol.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hahaha thanks man, and nope! They didn’t!

[@JordanLagoFilms]

Thank you for the great video bro. I referenced this a few times while installing my coilovers on my E92. Helped me a ton!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks bro! Glad to help!

[@Jay-sz5dt]

car stands really really nice man !

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks bro!

[@christianm1279]

“first things first u wanna apply some lock-tight, FIRST things FIRST u wanna apply some lock tight”

[@Dutch79]

Informative video. Good job. I did it the same way (and same spring compressors) at the front. Took some time, but managed to accomplish.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Definitely takes some time, but worth it in the end!

[@abishakesutharsan9616]

U need like 100k more subs lol ur awesome

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks man! Hopefully some day!

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Thedatsuntech]

Great job on the video! Looking forward to the review after they've settled in. I'm looking to get the ISC street comfort ones for my 335xi.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks man! I'll be sure to update everyone!

[@wach1722]

U Rock man!!! Which u was my neighbor

[@Frakman5369]

this was great! I feel I can do now easy.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks! Don't be afraid to give it a shot!

[@jacobburr4348]

Thx you I couldn’t do this with out you

[@sahak7437]

great video, just a little note. You don't actually have to remove the whole cowling, just loosen the e14 nut of the engine strut bar, which would give you a little room to lift it enough to remove the bolt underneath (you will however will need to use a size 13 mm open box wrench to remove that one bolt).

[@JDCarsChannel]

Good tip!! Thanks!

[@PetrolJuice]

Looks good already!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks man! I can't decide if I'll lower it any more or not.

[@wayneschoenberger3245]

Do you have Information on that control bar you reinstalled on the top of the strut? I am thinking I’m going to need to purchase a longer bolt and some washers to achieve some clearance to that as mine is hitting it currently and that can’t happen. Your video also shows more information than any video ECS provided and I wanted to thank you for that because they’re pretty close in product to what you used here. So F them as their video didn’t explain Jack! So I appreciate you’re clean frustration free video that went above and beyond theirs. Please let me know about that control bar you installed if you believe that’s what is needed for it to clear that adjuster on the top of the strut. Thanks in advance!!!

[@truth4reel]

you could also just lower the seat backs and peel the trunk liner a little bit to access the shock towers.

[@SidewayzDre]

does rwd and awd matters when it come to the coilovers because i have a 328xi and i only see rwd coilers evern in your link it says it doesnt fit 328xi

[@Zoethecut]

Hey I put some maxspeed coilovers but front is not lowering do think I have to change the stabilizer link

[@JimmyBimmers]

Stupid question guys and I’m dumb late I know but ; you don’t need the oem strut mounts anymore after most aftermarket coilovers right?

[@Raniya4]

These look to be rebranded BC Coilovers

[@Objectional_Opinion]

I just did my front BC BR Coilovers today because I thought it would be the easiest to tackle first. And you’re saying the front is the hardest? Wooo whooo. Rears should be easy then. Just waiting on my new absorber things for the rears before starting them. I’m doing my rotors next week as well so I’ll do the anti-seize then. Forgot about that...

[@JDCarsChannel]

Awesome! I just did another set of coilovers and I’d say it’s pretty equal front and rear in terms of difficulty. Slightly easier in the rear though. Good luck!

[@goochslayer1639]

Are you flexing on your thumbnail LOL anyways thanks for this mate, imma get some coils after i get new turbos next week

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hahaha no sir, just been hittin the gym bro.

[@JDCarsChannel]

I definitely do recommend the coils though!

[@EliteMiningSkill]

Looking good bro!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks, Chris!

[@AvidLightHater]

Bro simple question, how did you fit the strut brace over damper knobs?

[@thedanklord1556]

8:45 It came seized on from the factory. Can't even tempt it to loosen off. Hope it doesn't screw me in the long run

[@acetime447]

You are similar to ChrisFix. Keep up your work man. you got my sub anyways

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hahaha I've had people tell me that. Thanks for the support bro!

[@kgandrala]

This might sound like a dumb question but does that kit ship with instructions on how to remove the prexisting shocks and springs(Just for additonal info)

[@glinx1]

Can you provide a link to the lift you used to raise the rear of the car? Or at least one like it.

[@JDCarsChannel]

I actually built that jack myself! I have a video about it

[@glinx1]

@@JDCarsChannel very nice. Can you link the video please

[@seanthao]

Quick question. How do you know what what to set the spring and also the shock setting height to be at? Since they're both adjustable. Does one greatly affect the other? Do they have to match in terms of height? If I lower the shock lock ring to lower the car, what's the general idea of lowering the spring lock ring?

[@rxlo1062]

Great job 👍

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks man!

[@Objectional_Opinion]

@ 6:51 I got the bolt loose no problem and the nut off no problems at all but holy crap did I have a tiny marginal area to get that bolt out of there, and back in. I know you skipped your extraction but I saw some videos were they took it out by hand! Mine required vice grips on the bolt side and a pry bar on the nut side to force it out because even with no tension, from using the jack underneath, that bolt was in there so good. And one more thing for others if you see this... @ 11:58 BE CAREFUL WITH THAT NUT. My hand jerked a little and I dropped that nut down that hole... which isn't a bowl type area which I've seen on other cars. That hole goes down near the battery on the passenger side or the silver amp (if you have HiFi) on the driver side and it's just an empty cavity. Kinda resembles a motorcycle gas tank in a way. I had to go to Ace and get a suitable nut, but on my BC BR Racing Coilovers for 2006-2011 AWD models those nuts are M12x1.25 with nylon locker on them (might be the same for all models of the BC Coilovers) which ACE does not carry on hand. That sucked so bad.

[@AbrahamMusalem]

My god those are beautiful

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hahaha thanks man, I agree.

[@misaelnunez5116]

After you do all that do you have to align the car?

[@AlexTurbo]

Please do a review of these coilovers if you ever get a chance. I'm trying to decide between these and a few other brands. Also, which spec are these? I know they offer 3 types. I believe they are Street Comfort, Street Sport, and Track & Race. Thank you so much!

[@charlesd7301]

Bro where’d you get your front bumper lip? Mine’s cracked on the right corner and i’d like to hide it with a lip just like you have! Thanks in advance

[@JDCarsChannel]

Link in front lip video. I'd definitely recommend this one.

[@wisnuprawijaya]

is it changes, comfortable of the car?

[@cosmicsins2183]

Does this fit on a 2011 335i?

[@nickguillet8235]

Did you have any sort of gap (about an inch or so) leftover where the housing slides into the knuckle, or does it sit flush? I just installed mine and I'm being told its normal directly from ISC

[@JDCarsChannel]

I’d need to see a picture to understand what you’re trying to say. Sorry

Hey man, just wondering. Im doing this now, and im stuck on getting the bolt on the control arm u make it look so easy. Idk why mine is so torqued

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hey Julian. It can definitely be difficult sometimes. Just keep messing with a floor jack and it should slide through

[@JulianRodriguez-lq8mf]

@@JDCarsChannel i got it off! I didnt use an impact, i used a ratchet and a long tube off of a floor jack and it worked. Thank God it did. Only problem i have right now is when im steering the wheel, its having that clucking sound. Idk what to do

[@micraw714]

Hey bud maybe I missed it but how did you tighten/torque the front upper strut nut? I see there's a tool you can buy for it but I might just impact mine. Thanks!

[@JDCarsChannel]

I'm not sure what you're asking about

[@micraw714]

JD Cars sorry I meant the top nut on the front struts. I was having issues tightening them without the shaft spinning but I ended up impacting them since I didn't have a window socket to accommodate an allen wrench in there.

[@Soravia]

@@micraw714 they sell window sockets in many places like Turner Motorsports

[@Mebbyx]

Hi, did you had problems with brake rotors? Mine shake when I apply the brake.. Annoying

[@JDCarsChannel]

Only noticing slight feedback, but that's expected with slotted rotors.

[@Mebbyx]

[@colekampa1541]

Any tips on lining the rear control arm bolt back up? Been at it for an hour and it won’t line up last bolt and I am fully complete😂😂

[@JDCarsChannel]

Hahaha sorry to hear that. You have to mess around with the floor jack a bit to get the arm in the right position.

[@Soravia]

Can it be raised up to factory height? Especially the front?

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes

How did you measure how high you had to set the shock and spring in the rear?

[@e90jay49]

I installed these on my 335xi and I'm having issues where the front coilover is maxed out and the front doesnt really lower. So my front is sitting higher than my rears

[@JDCarsChannel]

That sounds to me like a mounting issue... you either did not fully insert the shock in the collar, or there is an unnecessary spacer somewhere.
