My Civic Si gets $300 Coilovers

[@slickproductionsTV]

I’ve had tein street basis coilovers for 3 years now. Going from 220whp all motor to 450whp turbo, and they are absolutely amazing. The car holds traction at 450whp, I know they’re doing their job. And they ride just alittle stiffer than stock.

[@matthewsmith1909]

I went with BC coilovers with custom spring rates. Love them. I'm lowered 1" front and half inch in the rear. Not sure what other mods you have. But get a Progress 24mm rear sway bar and it's easy to swap the front calipers, rotors and pads for larger TSX parts.

[@jimmyyking]

Ngl, the color really pops on those things. But I personally watched a lot of youtube reviews and almost everyone recommended against it. But on a budget, it gets the job done. Glad it worked out 👍

[@zinoo7569]

They’re good for price. I ran them and they hold up pretty good

Next gen car girl right there! working w my dad is what made me like cars so much really nice to see!

[@joeseibert1425]

I had a set of maxspeedingrods on my 2008 and within a year and a half they started making a shit ton of noise(ticking on bumps and squeaking when turning the wheel). I went back to stock after all that.

Nice to see a person driving a civic normal and not like a ricer

[@TheGerbsteve]

Sometimes I drive like a ricer lol.. as I’m getting older, I’m relaxing a bit more while driving

[@Roobsrandomz]

They may not last 2 years, but they probably will be a "tighter" feel over the OE's that have miles on them. They might be bouncey too after awhile, give us feedback after 30-60 days. Note! It's accidentally cool ass angles when your little human helps you with recording haha. Like forreal. Great vid as always mang! Cheers Gerb

[@paulescoto9181]

Your boy rocking Bc coilovers and I love them recommend them to anybody, i definitely want to change my spring rate and springs with the bc swift spring upgrade. But yeah man your car looks good I say maybe drop it .5 of an inch more and you’re Golden💪🏾💯🔥 great video

I bought my FG2 with Max Speeding Rods and they’re absolute ass. The back shock absorbers that they come with went bad so quickly. Also every minor bump makes me feel like i’m on a boat

[@anthonycronk2001]

@@vtecfred4796 My car would ride significantly better with all blown struts. though being lower and stiffer makes corners feel pretty good but thats really the only benefit. If you dont drive the car you put these on as a daily then it would maybe be worth it. Though I daily my 8th gen civic and its rough on these Michigan roads man. I almost lose traction going over bumps sometimes because the car legitimately gets air.

Hey bud! I just installed these on my 8thgen civic also! Not to bad. I’m around 2-3k miles on them. I guess my KZbin audiance watches your channel too. I just put a turbo on my R18 civic. Check it out sometime. Thanks and cheers!

[@JonHop1]

Those coils will never fell all that good sadly, BUT, I am glad to see my man Gerb doing these reviews. Not everyone can afford good suspension, so some people are forced to go with the Chinese/Taiwan stuff.. And its like a 50/50 gamble.. Whereas when you start going up the Chain with BC/D2, then go next level like KW/Fortune Auto/AMR, you really do get what you pay for in terms of product but also customer service and response. Like even going from BC to Fortune Auto for me was just NIGHT AND DAY!.. Pretty sure the lower rungs of BC coils are made in Taiwan as well sadly. I was tricked as I thought all BC's were JDM made.

Bye bye oil pan if you go slammed in New England

[@JonHop1]

Racelands are average at best.. Decent though for a super Chinese/Taiwan budget coil.. I wouldnt use any of those coils ever though on my baby... Good suspension parts are so important.

[@McDzy]

@@JonHop1 which susp would you recommend?

[@McDzy]

for 8th gen civic SI

[@JonHop1]

@@McDzy Depends on budget and what you are using them for man.. If you care about performance and a quality shock and spring, you are going to have to spend over $1K.. Suspension is an investment. A worthwhile one.. In the 800-1100 range BC's and Tien's are good options. Decent, relatively quality parts. Some of the higher end Taiwan-made Coils. They are good for a drop and okay performance.. After this, the next level up you really start to get into really good quality shocks/struts that are well made with good warranties and good customer service. A few I would highly recommend are Fortune Auto, AMR, Feal, and KW. KW is on the stiffer side tho.. AMR/Feal/FA are all totally customizable and are custom made in the US to your specification and ride needs. I recommend Fortune Auto, but Feal and AMR are fantastic as well. Top of the line street/race coilovers. You wont get better in that area.. And Im assuming you arent looking for 2k-5k suspension systems for track only use, but if you are, I can recommend some great circuit suspension systems for the 8th gen. Getting a custom Bilstein setup would be what I would choose personally.

[@Matfast32]

Let us know how you like them after a couple weeks and how low your Si sits, glad for you buddy ! Also you can put antiseize on the treads to prevent the suspension bolts from jamming next time you work on you car.

Yes to this. Had these coilovers on my EM2 it was eh. I wouldn’t cheap out suspension is a important part to the vehicle. Even matters Performance and handling wise. Id give these coilovers back and like my man above said go with racelands or at least something higher up.
