WHAT MAKES COILOVERS AWESOME - How it Works | SCIENCE GARAGE
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This Science Garage hits the road to talk with Formula Drift driver, Odi Bakchis. Odi runs his own suspension company, and makes coilovers for all the sick cars that need them. He runs us through the ins and outs and ups and downs for performance suspension and coilovers. We talk about what makes one coilover better than another, and how to know you’re getting a suspension upgrade that does more than just look good!

Bart teaches us how cars work by blowing stuff up and cutting things in half. It’s a science show for the car lover who’s easily bored. Join Bart as he explains the science behind everything automotive. This is cars down to the atom. This is Science Garage.
Some of our best videos ever are coming out soon, stay tuned so you won't miss a thing!

I like how Bart is speaking quietly. He’s being taught something and it shows that he is taking all of the information in. He’s truly paying attention. Despite teaching us about cars a lot, he’s not ashamed to be the student here and there. You never stop learning. Even if he already knew every single thing, he still stayed humble.
So strange seeing Bart speaking instead of shouting everywhere.

I found myself missing the diagram style animations, they can be very helpful especially when the action being described occurs internally. But pretty good job of explaining. They must have adjusted Bart's meds again, his tone was more subdued than usual, or his manner was noticeably even-keeled.

I was thinking that throughout the whole video. not only am I a beginner at learning mechanics but english isn't even my first language. so basically the good old "draw it for me as you would for a little kid works better" XD couldn't really keep up with all the info so a visual representation is a lot more useful to me and other beginners. still I learned so much from science garage the past year :D this added to the mechanics in the driver's manual necessary for driving school and what I learned from experimenting with the tuning in Forza Horizon ( lmao I know ) are really starting to pay off. I've always loved cars but only on a visual level ( car models and manufacturers and such ). thanks to Donut Media and Forza I've finally started understanding and loving the "guts" of the cars too haha

@casey escobar for real I always suggest going over everything at least once a year if your going to go crazy with it, at the very least even if it doesn't need it, it helps you feel better knowing everything is at 100% and locked down so you're not going to be slowly losing bits and bobs over several different events and then worry about some crap getting free or having a catastrophic failure of a vital part

Got a set of Feal coilovers in 2016 for a track Miata and loved them. Thanks Odi
Please keep doing videos like this, tons of KZread channels do general stuff about car parts, but all this in detail stuff with a manufacturer was amazing
You guys should do an episode about the difference in controlling AWD RWD and F(ront)WD vehicles, the differences in handling and what conditions each would be suited for.
This is such an exceptional channel, always learning something new. 👍🏼

The value truly happens when you get into the second level ones. The lower level ones, are just to lower the car, and take your money. Aka, the $2000+ ones.

can you guys talk about lifting cars? love my hybrid sedan and ive already done a couple mods that make me want to keep the car rather than buying an suv. uh thank you. this episode was great btw. thanks for the work.

Wow, I didn't realize Odi was so smart wrt coilovers. Nice.
I am going to check out Feal Suspension I'm in the market. I've never heard of them but I'm into quality of ride and handling, not flash.
Something I've always pondered about - magnetic damping. I've seen videos of a neodymium magnet dropped through a copper tube, it goes very slowly because of eddy current resistance - a form of damping, with force proportional to speed. Could someone build a shock using this principle? Would be extremely simple, and no fluid to leak. Could get more adjustability by using an electromagnet so force can be adjusted very quickly, still very simple and with very cheap components. No sliding seals, just linear bearings (which would be fairly simple to replace) so it ought to last forever. Would want to put fins on the outside for cooling, but internal components would not get hot as the heat is generated by eddy currents in the outer tube.
Odi is the man!!
there should be that desk-explosion at 1:22 when he puts the coil up straight
Ok. Number of the Beast shirt you sir got some newfound respect XD .
I'm not looking to lower my car, I like the ride height as it is but I do want to fit some performance suspension to it. Am I better off buying some quality springs and dampers or fitting some kind of coilovers?
This is good to know for future skids ! Thanks !

Papa Bart so gentle and quiet. Seemingly Like i am right now focusing on understanding how Coil over works.
Primary and secondary spring... The smaller spring rate (secondary spring) is for better ride over small bumps. That's why it's called a duel spring rate as opposed to progressive spring rate...
Awesome video!
