In this video i show how i turned my stock struts into propper coilovers Music by Kcazingy: kcazingy.bandc... Follow me on instagram @FL0WL0W / fl0wl0w
I've been looking for coil-overs for my 98 Deville with no luck. The 2" drop springs I have, leave the front still higher than the rear with air bags aired out. This helps a lot.

I'm a fabricator and work with hands tools everyday in a precision manner and I can tell you firsthand the grinding your doing would be a lot neater and easier with the grinder handle in place. One hand on the body and one on the handle. Also use 3m cubatron 36 5. 25" buffing pads would make this alot easier and less heat

well noted. I was working with my Dad's tools at the time and the handle was long gone. I have my own tools now and use the hand quite regularly for grinding

I agree with the 3M cubitron cutting/sand abrasive. Although pricy, they last 4-5 times longer, self sharpening and are purple. My wife favorite color after my wallet green!

when you grind the metal then pour water on it like that, would the constant heating and cooling of the metal make it weaker?

Even then I'm also guessing that even if you constantly poor water on it that doesn't cool it down entirely cause heat is inside and you're only getting water directly on the outside so tbh I feel like you'd have to stop every few mins and let it cool down if u wanna be super safe

Hey, Sorry for the late reply. Check out A1 racing. they have a lot of parts for doing this. You will need to measure the outer diameter of your shock to get the right sleeve. I used QA1 springs. You will need to figure out what spring rate you need and luckily there are plenty of calculators only available for picking the right coil for the application. Good luck on your project!

@mrunabout
4 жыл бұрын
The shocks and springs should always match. You don't want a shock that is underdamped or overdamped for your spring rate. If you want to use stock shocks, your best bet would be to find spring rates close to factory. Your ride quality will depend on multiple factors: shock quality, spring rate and spring quality, the amount of spring travel, the rate of your bump stops if you hit them, rim and tire size, and so much more.
@DJTuningCom

Haven't gotten to drive this thing yet and am really anxious to get it moving. for a stock vehicle you will want close to stock spring rates. since this is a much lighter vehicle, i went with a smaller spring rate. we will see how well the stock dampening works as well. because i want a stiff performance suspension and these shocks were made for comfortability and a heavier car, i think they will do quite well.

There is no adjustment really all your adjusting is the spring rate for a stiffer or softer ride the lower you put it the lower the strut is going to compress the shittier the car will ride and hand along is not going to be good
@DJTuningCom
4 жыл бұрын
The other adjustment is the spring rate based on the springs i install. I did all of the calculations for what springs i needed and while i have still not driven the car, from what i can feel they seem right. I will be experimenting with different spring rates. The other thing to point out is that these shocks were made to ride soft on a heavy car. In theory they should be stiffer on the lighter chassis which should make them close to the handling i am looking for. I will address this in the next update video of the car.
