Hell no I bought the full coilovers from an official dealer

But they def have a little bob on the highway. It is what it is

How old are your struts?

The coilovers came with struts

It's not dangerous bouncy, it's just a little oscillation on the highway. It's fine

Oh.
When you push down on a corner of the car, it comes up and stops? Or does it go up and then down and then stop?

I figured it out. On the front right corner the top hat nuts backed out. I should have looked at this shyt before I left the house

How long did this take? I know it usually take vets about 5-6 hours to install coilovers

Took me like 12 hours

Would be a lot faster if I had again, I had to buy tools and figure shyt out

I feel like I got thrown down 50 flights of stairs and I'm still not done

I got ST coilovers for my Civic.... pics tomorrow once the shyt is all buttoned up.

I was thinking of Skunk2's for my Civic, I have rims on it so it would look nice lowered, but, I will be paying someone to do the labor.

Skunk 2 is too stiff

I would do Tein Street or my STs

Is your suspension bounce-less now?

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Yea I think that was the culprit. Feels buttoned down now. I wanna upgrade my sway bars and brakes next

could always do it again for practice and time yourself

Good shyt fam. Are those coilovers adjustable? I would put coils on my shyt but im too poor for that

In principle/on paper the job is easy. But shyt gets a little complicated in real life. For example I could not get the back springs out.... I had to use a plank of wood to pry the suspension open. Little shyt like that can trip you up. Def read forums and watch vids of people doing the install, it can get tricky.

Forums and videos definitely help for sure that way you can see what problems you may come across beforehand. I've changed struts before on a couple cars of mine and some family members.
I've had that same issue with having to pry it out of the lower control arm (i assume thats what you are talking about). That's actually not out of the ordinary.
i'm ordering my shyt tomorrow ,God willing

I watched a video.... they made that shyt look easy AF. Problem is they changed from non stock springs to coilovers

Good luck breh that shyt was a pain in the ass. Mostly worth it though. That Lexus will handle nice. Pls tell me u got a IS350 or better
