Great video! I'm a fellow Mk8 ST owner. I really enjoy the tuning video's. Keep up the good work.

[@JBCTR]

HappyKiller Thanks mate 😁

[@dennisbernaerts6488]

I've ordered an KW V3 for my mk8 ST, Can't wait to get it placed

[@charliestevenson1400]

Que the mk8 in the background with jonny walking slowly forward, talking and waving his hands😂 it’s a guarantee

[@Hollyone]

Thanks! I want to wait, until Eibach release the MK8 ST Springs - but the ST/KW Product seems very good...

[@nathanjp96]

Good video, subscribed 👍

[@pablos.h8201]

Now if it's perfect! I needed those docks, too high a series the new St

[@96SATIN]

Did you get your alignment checked again once the springs had settled?

[@pdmelb5042]

G'day from Australia. Great video. Ford Oz will be launching the Mk8 here in the first quarter of 2019. By the way what's the song at 3:30?

[@MooMedia.]

how did sped bumps and parking differentiate after this? curious for my own mk8st. such as kurbs etc.

[@ashb1502]

Good video, but why does the screen showing the wheel alignment data list it as Fiesta ST 2013-2017?

[@TheSavageGarage]

Working on new cars looks so easy :P

[@JBCTR]

The Savage Garage Certainly easier than the older stuffs, but there’s no getting away from dumb design 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@paulyj3577]

What about warranty JB?

[@priteshtrikam1239]

How’s the ride comfort after 4 months of them being installed? Looking to get a set but enjoying the stock springs on motorways and in general...are they near enough the same? Pritesh

[@JBCTR]

Pritesh Trikam Hi mate! They’re a little firmer than stock but certainly not uncomfortable. I spend a fair bit of time on the motorways and they’re all good :) When compared to H&R’s, they’re much less harsh.

[@ross1506waddy]

Hi JB, how are you getting on with the springs? Style over substance or making a difference? I've got an ST arriving in a couple of weeks and yours looks ace lowered, but wondering about the driving benefits.

[@JBCTR]

ross1506waddy Hi mate, handling is improved - you can definitely tell it’s slightly lower in the corners. Comfort is not really affected to be honest, well not that I’ve noticed anyway! In terms of bang for buck, it’s probably one of the best mods out there. 👌🏼

[@ross1506waddy]

@@JBCTR Awesome, will highly consider. Made the error of ordering SYNC3 without nav assumed (wrongly) that ST2 would come with it as standard! *Face palm* Good to see you got on okay with Apple CarPlay in one of your other videos as I'll use maps via that. Other than that can't wait for it to arrive, previous Mk7 ST owner so interested to see the improvements.

[@JBCTR]

ross1506waddy I use Apple Maps and Google Maps more than the inbuilt nav anyway. They’re better 😁

[@Oleks380]

Hey. How is the default suspension in day-to-day driving? Isn't it too stiff?

[@JBCTR]

The lowered springs are a little more stiff than the standard springs as you'd expect. However, I daily it and I'd say its far from uncomfortable. Very pleased with them.

[@officialHarryW]

Hi mate, I've got a Seat Ibiza Cupra 1.4DSG. If you ever want to borrow it for a video let me know. Similar BHP figures, I know its more comparable to the Mk 7 Fiesta but hey ho.

[@JBCTR]

Harry Williams Hi mate, cheers for the offer! Please can you drop me an email or DM me on insta? [e-mail] @ctrjonny

[@olihaub]

Any reason you didn't go with the eibach reclines which are meant to be made to work with the standard adaptive dampers?

[@JBCTR]

The Eibach’s weren’t released when this video was made. This car doesn’t have adaptive dampers.

[@rebel1052k]

Good video. Shame you didnt see a side/rear photo of the car after the springs were fitted

[@JBCTR]

Busstheleng Thanks! The intro and outro are before and after. Although they don’t look too different as the springs need to settle. There are some more recent photos on my insta 👍🏼

[@rebel1052k]

@@JBCTR Sweet will check it out. Keep up the great content!

[@Damo-gq6wl]

I thought the same

[@cyborgxcyborgx]

Let some air out of the tyres for that extra low look...oh and put some concrete blocks in the boot for good measure.

[@fivefingerstotheface6149]

So just bought a mk8 ST3 going from a mk7 1.0 Ecoboost, i feel the steering is really weird like when Im turning the steeringwheel all the way in low speed the steering feels like it’s sluggish and don’t return to center unless I increase the speed a little more, is that normal or what could the issue be? Had the car checked, and they found no problems :/

[@JBCTR]

Apologies, it's quite hard to diagnose from here!

[@cameron_xbx6672]

How much is this all in?

[@markjwoodford1931]

Did you have any noise from the front at low speed whilst turning by any chance?

[@JBCTR]

Nope, didn’t get any.

[@d.g.3803]

Are the lower rear springs also vector (banana shape)? modify the original behavior?

[@JBCTR]

D. G. As you can see in the video, the stock springs aren’t really banana shape. Think that was a bit of marketing! They are however wound in opposite directions, which is a design mimicked by the lowering springs. You can see this in the video 👍🏼

[@JayEmmOnCars]

Excellent video very well put together

[@JBCTR]

JayEmm on Cars Thanks James 👌🏼

[@liamroutledge3794]

Hello, do you have a link for the springs?

[@FerrariCS16]

in the description

[@grantnash4487]

How much did this cost all together? If you dont mind

[@JBCTR]

Grant Nash Get in touch with SCC for their pricing 👌🏼 the springs are £149 on their website :)

[@nickmic1335]

Maybe next task the rims??

[@JBCTR]

Nickmic13 Could be... although I’ve grown to like the MK8 rims!

[@luke50191]

Bet this was nice & easy on a mk8, try doing it on a mk2 xr3i thats rusted to hell lol

[@xtr970]

Hi, Marry Christmas. Please you have solution for High beam for Fiesta ST? Hi have normal lights with dipped beam led and alogen hight beam . If you have solution please send me. Many thanks for your patience regards

[@JBCTR]

I have the LED headlights so I've not had to upgrade them, but I know others have put LED's in the high beams too. Give that a try :)

[@xtr970]

@@JBCTR many thanks . You know necessary adapter? Best regards Daniele

[@JBCTR]

Daniele B. I don’t - you’ll need to get in touch with a retailer. Try CEUK :)

[@CozMiikIStatIIk]

Do these springs keep the force vectoring??

[@burghyr]

I want to put lowering sprigs on the Ford kuga but I really dont know

[@ilpatongi]

Why would you lower a Kuga?

[@burghyr]

@@ilpatongi I want to modify it. And I think it's way to high on the back

[@ilpatongi]

@@burghyr I don't want to sound rude but I think it would be an insane waste of money. Is it petrol or diesel?
