you should always use a go through or pass through socket and allen key to undo and tighten your top hats. using an impact gun runs the risk of blowing the seals on your dampers/shocks. if you blow them you'll only find that out once you start driving it, then your up for new ones and re-installation. bit more work but could save you some $$ and time later on.

How can I tell if I blew the seals on the damper/shocks? Would there be oil leaking out of the strut or clunking noises?

An FYI: MacPherson strut is a style of suspension - both the stock and aftermarket front coilovers are MacPherson struts. The rear suspension is multi-link (poor-mans double wishbone lol) so they are not MacPherson struts, just regular coil-over-dampers. If it’s got more than 1 bolt hole at the bottom, it’s a MacPherson strut. AFAIK we colloquially call aftermarket suspension coilovers because OEM stock suspension in the past often separated the spring and damper (still done today in compact cars and trucks) which are typically replaced with one piece coil-overs in the performance aftermarket.

Great vid, though I put Tein lowering springs 15mm drop on my 2012 stock shocks, after a while 2 of them started leaking. So I replaced shocks with Koni yellow shocks and kept the Tein lowering springs. If your lowering with lowering springs, and your stock shocks are a few years old, I’d recommend getting new shocks that are designed to take lowering springs.

At that point you might as well get coilovers though. When you add together the cost of all new shocks + springs you can get a decent set of coilovers for the same price.

the rear is not a mcpherson strut, its just a coil over shock design with a multilink, mcpherson strut refers to the front suspension design

Since you gonna need a wheel alignement... Might as well change the rear lower control arms while at it. So you can dial back all that extra negative camber. Exessive Drop induced Neg. Camber makes Axles snap like twigs on these cars. (On launches) Also: Could of been paired up with a set of koni shocks. Stock shocks hates lowering springs to death... quite litteraly.

What was was.the problem with them bro? I'm planning on putting them on my stock struts on my Corolla Axio. Would you say it was too stiff? I'm looking to lower my car but I daily drive my car and our roads are FILLED with potholes and every sort of road undulation. Also, what's the difference with TRD lowering springs? Do you have a link? Need your advice bro.

@@cocolopz1 Are they different for each car? I thought the Megam Racing lowering springs were the same for a lot of cars. But I was able to take it out of the box and take a picture. The Manager said it will fit on my Corolla. I also just watched a video of a guy[here on KZitem] installing it on his 2017 Corolla. He said it was just right, relating that it got slighty stiffer but wasn't as soft and bouncy as before. I also just saw a video on guy's 2007 Civic and he had them on sport shocks and he said they were "soft" and he daily's his car. He even said in his video that it was too soft around corners and didn't chain him to the road so these reviews sound good for me. I hate stuff rides and I'm irritated when I'm in a car and it crashes and bumps you through your body when you hit bumps, potholes and undulations. I daily my car and am a delivery driver but I want a slightly lower look with some comfort. Right now I'm on clouds [it's incredibly comfortable] but I'm too high.

I'm so sad you said you were putting the MacPherson strut back into the car. MacPherson strut is a type of suspension geometry. So even with coilovers, you still have a MacPherson strut, only in the front. The rear isn't a MacPherson strut

Where did you get those torque specs from? They don't match the factory service manual, nor your earlier videos. The biggest differences is 89 on the rear bolts that should really be 59.

Any spring upgrade I can put on the tein street basis? I want to get a lower height then what I have and don’t want to buy whole now coil overs
@DenisDamulira23
4 жыл бұрын
What's good brother. Tein street basis is 5kgf/mm front & 6kgf in the rear.you can go +2 on coil overs especially if going lower so your car doesn't get all bouncy and scrape everything.Get more adjustability via a shorter 8kgf spring. The front is a 5-inch spring. The rear is 6 inches I believe. Get a 65mm 5" 8kgf in the rear and a 65mm 4" 8kgf in the front...that's one more inch of gain.
