Great video, only thing I have left to research now is the rear strut because I bought Bielstein struts along with my eibachs :)
Love the video. Shops always want way to much money for something that isn’t all that hard
Are these springs Eibach Pro-Kits or Eibach Sportlines? Nicely done though, great to have this video out there for us Genesis owners messing with suspension.
I have zero fingers in my genesis and I'm here trying to figure out how to raise mine lol
what number of rim measures you have muntado and what number of rubbers you have on the front. and back
I’ll be doing this in a couple days👍🏽

Saludos te sigo en todos los videos quiero saber si esa es la sportline y si esa baja más que la pro kit estoy indeciso cual muntar en mi bk1 Greetings, I follow you in all the videos, I want to know if that is the sportline and if that is lower than the pro kit I am undecided which one to use in my bk1

You didn’t show how to Install the new springs in the front with the spring compressors
Did you have any issues getting the Rear Control Arm Bolt Hole lined up with Knuckle? The fronts were quick and easy but the rear installation is kicking my ass. I can't get the outer bolt hole (not the one for the Shock) to even come close to lining up. When I jack up the arm it gets hung up on the knuckle and hits the shock. There seems to be a 'twist' in the whole assembly which is causing the hole not to line up. I'm scratching the crap out of the new Bilstein B8's.

I have a 2012 3.8 with the brembos on it, im assuming those rims are 18s but have you heard of rubbing or clearance issues with 19s and big brakes? springs vs coilovers im not sure which makes more sense right now
@acauto7886
4 жыл бұрын
Hey, my wheels are actually 19s. And yes I have had heard of issues with wheels hitting the brakes with genesis coupes with brembos. To fix this issue you just got to get a wheel with a less aggressive offset. I dont have to worry about that because i dont have the brembo brakes on my genesis. My rear wheels have a +22 offset and my fronts are a +30. Springs vs coils is not going to make a difference with hitting your brakes. But it depeneds on what you want. Springs are a cheap way to lower your car that give you a decent ride. Where coils gives you the opportunity to go lower or higher depending on your liking along with a nicer ride but will cost you more than double the price of springs.

@@acauto7886 i don't plan on going crazy on mine, isr catback and a wider intake, thermal manifold spacer, engine mounts, sway bars, and then either springs or coilovers.

Just get bigger rim sizes, Im assuming it will make the gap go away. Ima try that with my genisis before i go bagged.
