Noob's Guide to Modding Suspension!

Adjustable or Non Adjustable? Linear or Progressive Springs? STATIC OR BAGGED? AIR OR HYDRAULICS? In the automotive world, how you ride (literally) can determine a lot about your vehicle. Suspension affects how it corners, reacts to bumps, how it makes aerodynamics bend around, but most importantly...how it sits!! So GET LOW, GET LOW. Or get High too, I guess whatever is your preference. Get ready to squat, dance, bounce, bog, and prepare your booty for whatever ride the road is about to give you.

Believe me when I say Coils change the way your car ride. It can make a derpy Mustang with garbage OEM suspension feel like a whole new car! Sporty, reactive, better center of gravity, better aero, and way less wheel spin. It squats less when accelerating and bogs less when braking. Clumsy begins to feel sharp and lazy begins to feel focused. I'm honestly shocked how Fitment from both a wheel and suspension standpoint were the last mods I ever got around to on both of my vehicles. Seriously, my poor Corvette and Mustang had to suffer with massive 4x4 looking wheel gap, but now look at em. Ahhh, that's hot. They're so pretty now.

I said it was involved in an accident so brutal it was considered a total loss by insurance... but I never once said...it was gone :)

“Disadvantages of magnetic suspension: Give up your first born child” LOL I LOST IT RIGHT THERE!! Bladed, your tutorials are so funny and really useful, it always makes learning things about cars so much fun.

[mortis]

Just at work i thought "I hope Bladed does a new noobs guide or history of freaking car video again" and then I get home and there it is.

Don't cheap out on coilovers, they can be worse that stock of you go too cheap. You can also get more adjustability with the more expensive ones as well.

6:05 Thats not always true, there are Coilovers like the KW Clubsport, who are compatible with the adjustible OEM System, so you can adjust them with the onboard computer. But they are super expensive compared the normal mid tier coilovers

Straight style on fools at your local car meet 😂 couldn’t have said it better myself

[exquisitedelusion]

Your “noobs guide” videos are what brought me to your channel a while back when I was trying to get into cars. Easy to understand while giving the pros and cons straight forward

Best suspension is hydro pneumatic

Advantage : smooth driving feel
can defuse bombs on uneven roads
Could save someone live
No pot hole could ruin your life

My moms moms dads grandpas uncles aunts grandmas moms moms friend friend friends moms dogs cat owns a Supra with air suspension!

I’m expecting to hear that someday. Btw Your videos are amazing and I have learned a lot more than I already did.

Im 14 and ive been watching you for 4 years i grew up with a dad that loves cars and recently me and my dad saved up and bought a legend car and we started racing last season and all of your videos are great i love them so thank you

Hey Bladed, great video! I also wanted to point out that hydraulic suspension in road cars does more than raise and lower for bumps. For instance, on my CL63 AMG, it virtually eliminates body roll through turns. This gives the vehicle much more stability, control, and just a more sporty feeling when driving hard, without necessarily giving up a comfortable ride.

[foundationsmedicalinformat]

I’m totally not a car guy, I’m just a huge nerd and I have watched every single one of your videos just so if I ever find myself in a “car culture” situation, I’ll be able to blend in seamlessly. 😂

The “sad pushrod noises” got me alright

Side note about the Magneride part: Tein makes an active suspension kit for their coilovers (EDFC Actice) which perform similarly in theory, being able to adjust damping on the fly. Since the system runs of a g-sensor and a GPS speed sensor for some versions, it's nowhere near as advanced as Magneride, but still an impressive feat of engineering for what it is imo

When comes to modding your suspension specially Truck owners go way off they make it even more Tall it's just not right so please When modding your truck do it in a right height Air suspension is good suspension for trucks because you can sit low and adjust your right height that's good

[CephBacon]

"give up your first born" is no joke. Moton's aftermarket EDC struts are like 10k

I know you probably haven’t seen the lowrider side of the air suspension community yet, but I’m from east Texas and where I come from it is a huge deal to bag trucks and do them in a lowrider style.

[TeddyGyro]

I’ve had different experiences with springs vs coilovers on my s550. Did a lot of homework but long story short, the springs were much nicer than my street comfort spec coilovers. Yes I lost adjustability but I’m not blowing shock mounts. I’m sure good coilovers are out there but I guess they weren’t for me

7:00 that car looks like it high fiving another car like in the movie cars (ik amazing discovery)
