2G MaxPeedingRods Coilovers Review

[Chewy4g63]

Hey all! I just replaced my stock struts with the most budget friendly coilover you can buy. I had to modify the fronts to fit by sanding off the powder coating, the thickness of the powder coating made them thicker than the opening of the fork by a little, and I still wanted to put the bolt all the way in to hold them obviously. The rears fit perfectly. Below are pictures of the old and new suspension. I had some yellow oil in the box when I opened it, so I'm sure one of the shocks may be blown and that was shock oil. Thankfully they have a 1 year full replacement warranty! Not doing an install write up, as there are plenty of those. Now these coils tend to ride a bit stiff, which is how I personally like it. These have 24 way adjustable dampers, which adjust with a firm click each time. I run them maxed out. They don't last much more than a year normally so I would recommend these as a base line for length, getting familiar with height adjustment, and etc. DO NOT LOWER THE CAR WITH THE SPRING PRELOAD ADJUSTMENT, just use the body and mount threads to raise and lower as needed. If the shock is bottomed out on the body, you need new coils that are meant to go that low or bags.

Edit: Here is the link for the coils on their site.

Good luck with that.

Well, to be fair, at $387 a set, I wouldn't expect them to last long, but who knows.

You going to put any sort of synthetic grease or anti-seize on the shock fork to coilover raw material so it doesn't make a complete nightmare to disassemble in the future?

Had done that on my car already bout 2 years ago. Don’t daily mine but drive it as much as weather allows me too. But for the money they ain’t bad ride just like any other car I ever rode in with coilovers that r slammed. Lol but yeah they r just beginner I guess cuse I’m sure one day u will upgrade again to better, just like I will but have fun and enjoy man keep doing what u can your self.

Update: Maxpeedingrods saw that it is indeed shock oil, and are sending out a replacement strut for when/if one blows prematurely. Great customer service, and they honor their warranties!

 

[Chewy4g63]

Good luck with that.

They just got back to me, and stood by their warranty whole heartedly. They're sending me a replacement strut in case one prematurely blows or if one feels different.

Well yeah, you just bought them. Hit them up in 11.5 months.

MSR is one of the worst companies on ebay hocking parts. The copying is egregious and blatant with poor execution.

No I got them 5 months ago and just installed them because of personal issues going on.
