"I don't speak Netherlands" 😂 Keep up the great vids Greetings from the Netherlands Btw, we speak Dutch not Netherlands.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Hello! Crazy to see our reach gets to you guys out in the Netherlands👍 I will make sure to let the team know "Dutch" is the correct term have a good one!

[@MrDragonfly]

Fitment Industries it reached Malaysia as well.

[@TestarossaMusicista]

Awesome to see a spotlight on a properly good suspension company. A set of Koni dampers with high quality lowering springs like Eibach, or Swift will outperform ANY coilover that costs less than $1700.

[@brendansmith270]

Lance Danley Haha I just bought a full kit today from Ground Control to go on my EM1

[@vizualmrs]

Teins???? I don't know. The Japanese know

[@brendansmith270]

fed Z Teins are no where close to as good as a set of Koni race dampers with a Ground Control Eibach coilover kit and race top mounts.

[@TestarossaMusicista]

Brendan Smith agreed. Teins are a good "tuner" suspension. Not a proper racing suspension like Koni, Bilstein, Ohlins, etc. They're in totally different leagues.

[@brendansmith270]

Lance Danley exaclty! Just another street driving coilover, it annoys me when people comapre street bullshit to race purpose suspesnion. But agreed also dont forget JRZ haha!

[@jaywhy225]

It’s refreshing that you folks are using this platform in the way that you do. I’m sure there are some others out there that are the same but it’s nice to see a relatively new face(s) to the KZbin game and that their content isn’t centered around they themselves and “look what I (we) are doing !” 👊

[@FitmentIndustries]

Absolutely man we’re happy to hear that thank you 🙏❤️

[@jaywhy225]

Fitment Industries Y’all will know if I ever make it back to WI 👊

[@tylershumaker2605]

Next company: Greddy!

[@justincoetzee6809]

In the spirit of Suspension companies, the truth about Ohlins could be a good one. Great vids guys!

[@FitmentIndustries]

Thank you for the support Justin! 🤟

[@stevensanchez330]

More wheel histories 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@jakethesnake1503]

I ran Koni STR.T with Eibach Sportline springs on my E46 sedan and what a great ride. So low yet drove absolutely fine on our road hazardous roads.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Hell yeah! Hows the E46 looking now? Whats all done to it? -Edgar

[@LouisLuzuka]

[@Berserked]

I swear these thumbnails are amazing. Just want to see more videos and crazy thumbnails

[@FitmentIndustries]

We got you covered we love this just as much as you do! ❤️

[@AmmarAlZeibak]

Dr.Alex you are looking sharp. Also, don't stop believ..I mean don't stop these master pieces from coming out.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Thank you man I’m sure when Alex sees this he will appreciate it ❤️😂

[@universaldrummer08]

It would be interesting to hear you guys talk or say your opinions about Federal tires.

[@chrisvonahnen3578]

Very impressive presentation 👍

[@chi6831]

Damn I missed the notification for this video. So happy I can watch this though.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Were happy to have you here! 🙏😍

[@kentalexander936]

Hilarious yet very informative!

[@raviolitrail]

thanx Brian!

[@Spirit01_official]

Just ordered my set can't wait to start putting together my custom coilover kit . I'll be back to let you guys know how they function

[@coopnhtown]

@bitchin butter Still working on it

[@crazycrawford]

@@coopnhtown I just looked and was literally wondering

[@TheIronmonger]

Yes you guys listened

[@FitmentIndustries]

🤙

[@AL_THOMAS_777]

🙌 👏 🙏 🤝 👍 Yeah, I had KONI on my bike and they never EVER leaked although VERY heavy duty over almost 20 years . . .stunning reliable . . . and MAN, could I lean over in curves . . . unbelievable . . . Once Koni - ALWAYS Koni. You really won´t regret it . . .

[@miguelalopezjr4120]

Can you do a review on scale suspension coilovers?

[@ohitsaijie866]

Thanks for doing Koni! I've been running Koni Yellow shocks on my Civic since 2013!

[@jessedixon326]

OhItsAijie what year civic you have?

[@ohitsaijie866]

It's a 2010, so 8th gen.

[@jessedixon326]

Same 8th civic Japan only edition

[@FitmentIndustries]

Nice thats a fair amount of time spent on those! Have you put a lot miles on them?

[@FitmentIndustries]

DAMN SON that sounds sick 🤙 have you uploaded your ride to our gallery yet? bit.ly/2Ma4oca

[@nathanmaynard131]

I crack up at the fact that the/my compass Trailhawk was fitted with Koni dampers from the factory. That and the Multi-link rear end make it surprisingly pretty damn decent in the corners

[@tictac556]

Hey guys I love your videos! They're all really great! I have a suggestion, maybe on the bmw 5 series and more specifically on the e39 because it's in that sweet spot generation for BMW!

[@victorschepers6286]

I had 4 of them on my 1957 Austin Healey 100/6 👍👍🇾🇪🇾🇪😉

[@iandude44]

I wanted to get some coilovers for my Veloster turbo, but after reading all the forum threads I could find I think I'm going to get some koni yellows and some good springs instead, I mean I don't care for the adjustability, just want a little drop and to set it and forget it

[@desmondmoonbear4143]

What would you do for a Klondike bar ?

[@midnightrush1640]

Did you know about racing hart wheels...(are they still make wheels???)

[@StephenBrewer89]

I love my iPhone, iMac, iPad, air pods, nest thermostat, etc lol.

[@fangk.7367]

Waiting on either KYB or Bilstein

[@FitmentIndustries]

Coming soon! 👀

[@fangk.7367]

Well I'm hyped! KYB shocks are pretty much the only suspension component my broke college ass could afford

[@fairdinkumpiereviews5357]

Wait for koni

[@dishonmaharaj7798]

Please do a review on JNC wheels

[@bimmerlife5452]

FSD amazing shocks i run it on my E39

[@DeronMidgeblu]

I'm running Koni's on my Acura Legend set on their lowest perch fwiw. It's low AF. But knowing what I know now, I'd gone coil-overs because I like to drag a little and CO's def handle better. Koni's are good tho' and the only aftermarket shock we should use on our 20 plus year old Legends. I've got the first one on this website and they had to add Legend as a model lol. Check it out folks :) ***Edited to add my Koni's are set on their lowest setting. Pretty low, but not quite coil-over low. EVEN THO" I did mention that. duh

[@FitmentIndustries]

Sounds like a gnarly set up man have you added your ride to our gallery? bit.ly/2Ma4oca 🤟

[@belalangtempurmy4656]

Please do Desmond/Regamaster 🙏

[@richardhufferson8511]

Spotted Cow is fantastic. Too bad they don't sell it in Minnesota, but thankfully Superior Wisconsin is a 15 minutes drive across the bridge so can grab a 6 pack whenever I'm over there

[@FitmentIndustries]

See now thats a convenience! 😂👍

[@samelties5090]

You didn't 'just' murdered that saying XD. But good to know , apperently I live like 4 km away from Koni. So I know where I am going to shop this christmas

[@stefan_4508]

Should I get the koni sport kit (yellow shocks + h&r springs) or bc gold coilovers?

[@FitmentIndustries]

That’s tough! I’m familiar the H&R and also BC so either of those I would suggest, I can’t speak on Koni but I’ve heard good things! Choice is yours really. -Edgar

[@randomthingswithwheels1641]

For the next suspension video, can you talk about Bilstein?

[@FitmentIndustries]

I believe it’s on the list!! 🤟

[@rosesbite]

Koni Active in the mail, cant wait to put them in my MK6 Golf

[@Marc-br8du]

My S2000 came with these and Tein springs lmao, they feel great

[@FitmentIndustries]

Lol thats a package deal there have you uploaded your S2000 to our gallery yet we'd love to see that! 🤟bit.ly/2Ma4oca

[@Marc-br8du]

[@DeronMidgeblu]

And thanks my dudes for doing a piece on Koni. Dom is the bomb...I don't care what you guys think lmao He answered all my questions quickly and he has to be a busy busy feller. Alex, I see late night porn uhhhhh, talk show host in your future my man. You have that "it" factor and a good mix of humor meets serious. I have a feeling you'd rather be much more humorous than what's allowed. Oh well. Thanks for what you do and how you deliver it brosef.

[@FitmentIndustries]

You are right Dom is a very busy guy! Thank you again for the support man! 🙏

[@rosesbite]

spotted cow is soooo good

[@AeroWolfpunk]

Android for me is best. Used to be on iPhone. But there wasn't enough customization. It's like going from a one piece to a 3 piece wheel

[@FitmentIndustries]

The customization on the android is definitely nice! 🤙

[@MrBillDaBear]

So glad this came out cuz I was boutta spend money on Koni Inserts

[@twitchyg1373]

Whoooo glad to be part of notification squad

[@FitmentIndustries]

Glad to have you on board 😍

[@ilandman4evr]

I care nothing about that fruity echo system thing!!!Android forever. Koni just does it thing it would seem. I learned something new today thank you guys (even the interns too) Haha. Informative as always

[@FitmentIndustries]

Glad to hear that you are learning from our channel!! 🙏❤️

[@rolandotillit2867]

My Koni yellows have been working flawlessly for 100k miles, if you don't slam the car or take pot hole safaris they'll outlast the rest of the suspension.

[@coldsaus8970]

The word "well" was said a lot in this video.

[@baileybehzadi2308]

Next one racing hart wheels. Or Cusco

[@flewis763]

The truth about stance suspension or reinharte suspension

[@codylongoria4152]

Hell ya spotted cow is top tier

[@vally6853]

Might as well get coilovers for the price

[@nike4life09]

Is no one going to point out his use of an iPhone 🤔

[@voxer16333]

Always android. I also prefer Moon Man over Spotted Cow because SC just tastes like an over hyped Budweiser.

[@FitmentIndustries]

Totally Naked 👯‍♀️ bro or Blue Moon 🍊

[@voxer16333]

I live near Chicago so I'm kinda biased, I'm not a fan of blue moon, but my favorite beer is probably Half Acre Daisy Cutter

[@FitmentIndustries]

Interesting what kind of beer is that?? 🧐

[@voxer16333]

Just a regular, but very tasty pale ale

[@mattkasicki301]

Theres a reason Koni is used in F1 cars and for that reason i stick with Koni :)

[@larry12345]

[@BranGrizz]

In engineering terms, a shock absorber is a damper.
