Installing Coilovers on My Toyota Matrix
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Just can't leave any of my cars alone. The daily Corolla Matrix gets some upgraded suspension on the cheap!

It looks really good dude! Some window tint and black housing headlights would really make it pop

You know where to get headlights for these things
In canada are roads are heaving always. I will only lift vehicles for bigger tires and clearances for winter etc.
Thanks for the video! How do these coilovers ride compared to stock struts?

No problem! Coilovers always will provide a stiffer, more aggressive ride than stock struts. These coilovers feel pretty decent for how cheap they are. (Although, they do not compare to my K-sports on my MR2). I will say, these coilovers have bottomed out on multiple occasions. This could be fixed by cutting the bump stops or adjusting the preload on the springs. I may be attempting this fix in a future video!
can you say more about the mr2 drive train in the matrix?
How much were the coilovers
😢Can I buy those same ones for my 2007 pontiac vibe
Anywhere to buy those stock tails I got chromes and what wheels and setup on them

Rock Auto sells the base trim ones. Why wouldn't you want chromes? I grabbed the chromes from a scrapyard because I hated the base ones.
What size of wheels and tires do you have?
Regular hammer drill it's all you used 😬😬😬 I'll be a little bit scared to ride

Does your car have problems or drink oil?

Pretty normal for these 1zz engines to burn some oil if they're older and haven't been meticulously maintained. Though if there's any splatter near passenger side of the engine and/or on your belt, it's probably the O-ring on the timing chain tensioner. Super common for these 03-08 Matrix/Vibe once that o-ring gets old. Easy cheap to fix.
Did you manual swap your matrix or it came stock with the 5spd?

The car was originally manual, but the stock 5 speed actually blew up, so it now has the 5 speed from my MR2 Spyder, which has slightly different gearing, but only a few modifications had to be made for it to work!
Did you fender roll
What coilover are those?
