Great Video! how did you go about fully adjusting rears? as well as springs did you adjust the rear struts too with the threads?

I left the ride height / preload all the same from factory. Only change I made was dampening. I turned the dampening on the rear to half way point and front to the softest. Perfect height for me, little stiff and uncomfortable for the amt of potholes and rough roads in my area but new roads feel amazing.

About anti-roll bar link that was spinning, if it doesn’t have a torx or Allen key fitment in the end, near the bush the other side of the mount there should be a slot for a spanner (usually around 17mm)

Excuse me, can you help me on how to put a blow off valve in a 2007 volkswagen gti
@SavageGTI

I have a video on it. It replaces the diverter valvle which is located on the left side just above the front axel. With a blow off valve you also have to tap into the intake manifold to pull a vacuum line for actuation. A BOV kit should come with one.

Its quite comfortable on smooth roads on full soft in front and 50% in the rear. Bumps and potholes make me cringe lol. The car stock has a more sporty suspension compared to a BMW or Cadillac sedan

Next project, that headliner!! Grahamfabrics.com has an Alcantara kit for $60 and feels really nice, you should check that out and do a video. For that busted sway bar bolt, you should have cut the nut off with a Dremel, you were replacing it anyway.

I wouldn't slam it, that height looks perfect. I like a nice even gap around whole wheel well.

Yeah I've kept it at that height. Lots of crazy roads and driveways in upstate NY. My new exhaust scrapes on steep uneven angles

Nice. How do you rate the comfort level compare to stock? I know the stock is already stiff

Comfort level compared to stock is pretty low. However my coilovers have BC's regular springs installed. If you pay extra to get the swift springs the ride would be better. With dampening all the way soft in front and medium on the rear is most comfortable and handles really good. But hitting potholes and rough roads out here in NY with low profile tires is rough. I noticed with my higher profile winter tires it is a lot softer ride on bumps.

@@SavageGTI Thanks for the info. What you have describe is spot on to how my MR2 and Caldina GT4 rides with them BC coilovers. Oh well, might be getting a VWR springs for the R then since i daily this car with my kids. Thanks again for the feedback buddy, appreciate it.

@@sky1802 I think if you're trying to go low in any way it will be rougher than stock because you're reducing the available suspension travel and has to be stiffer to hold the weight of the car, otherwise the car would bottom out and rub tire. The BC's are my only experience with coilovers, I hear KW makes great coilovers but they are a lot more money.

but maybe springs and good shocks could give you a nice ride but not aggressive low.
