The complete BRZ coilover install guide (Powered By MAX, Whiteline, WORK)
 

Thinking about making that big purchase for your 86? I know when I decided to take the plunge and install aftermarket coilovers I was apprehensive. I'd never set to modifying a car, or doing much more than basic routine maintenance - was I really qualified to do an install like this? Was I going to be able to accomplish this task with hand tools in a cramped garage?

To put it simply: I had no idea. But I did it! At least six times now.

Having installed aftermarket coilovers and endlinks on my 86 a handful of times, I and my cohort at Minute Rice Channel thought it would be a good idea to provide an updated, thorough, and easy to follow video guide with clear instruction for all the other at-home DIY garage warriors out there.

Nice video. The only thing I saw was the lowering method. Spring Perches are for lowering if you are doing it properly, though bottom mounts will probably do for most people who don't mind a bit of rubbing potentially.

nice video

Ik this is an old thread but will i be able to use the oem endlinks?

Any tips for setting height looked like y’all did a lot of measuring

:sigh:

1. Set desired height by matching stock to new.
(make new shorter by how much lower you want vs stock)

2. Install

3. Let settle. (A week)

4. Adjust as needed.
