Carefully check the front strut upper plates before installation to make sure it is good.

[@annemozena2740]

should i be setting the height with a person in the seat? how about how much fuel in there? so how did they handle and feel? you didnt talk about any of that. why should I buy these?

[@DocsBoost]

All very good questions. Should I have placed weight in the driver's seat? Maybe. What about both front seats? Maybe. Since this is my wife's car and she drags around 3 passengers quite often, how about weight in all four seats? I played with all of those scenarios and decided to keep the car empty. Same idea with the fuel. Just wondering how far anyone really needs to take the idea of how much to consider before setting ride height. So an empty car with a full tank is how it was set. The fuel level was coincidental, not planned. Handling was surprisingly good. Much better than what was removed. Granted the old stuff was, well old, right. If you were looking for a very solid product without breaking the bank, these are a good option. How long they will last, well we just have to wait and see. That's my take. I loved the questions. Thanks for watching and taking the time to share.

OMG sketchy loose front blocks and your car shifted sideways over an inch on release.... pretty sure what the retort will be , but good luck and nice content.

[@DocsBoost]

The truth here is they did not last long on the car. Driveability did not pass muster for me.

Thanks for the video, I own a 12 Mustang and was looking at these on ebay..

[@DocsBoost]

You're welcome. Even though the manufacturer provided the parts, I had to tell the truth according to my experience.

[@xxjonasz83xx]

RTR Tactical performance coilovers is good option ?( I have a mustang gt 2014)

[@DocsBoost]

Yes, I agree. Down the road a piece I may be in the market for new suspension for the GT500. Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.

[@krackatoachainsaw]

Hows the ride quality though

[@DocsBoost]

Just like most coilover kits, the ride is hard. I happen to get a faulty upper strut plate and it rattled to beat the band. I had to take them off because it was so bad. I know many people that really like performance to cost ratio for these kits.

[@upperccutt]

Well IS IT?????

[@DocsBoost]

I am guessing that you want to know if they are a good choice or not. Well, I did a drivability video shortly after this one. I voted NO on these. Maybe I just got a bad part, but I had problems. Check that video to hear the details. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHvEe5SCe65-pLssi=jFpceacFs2qNQney
