I walk you through all the steps for installing a set of Coil Overs on a 2014+ Kia Soul. My friend Alex says it rides a bit rough, but he is very happy with how it sits and how much better it handles. (The front coil overs have upper pillow ball mounts).

I was thinking about giving these a try. How are they holding up?
Demonios que genial se ve yo tengo un Kia Soul 2010
It's good to see some people doing some modifications to the Kia Soul. I think it's the most underutilized hatchback out there that has a lot of potential performance. I'm sure you could put a bigger turbo charger or engine swap it or flare the wheels etc and get a little hot hatch out of the deal. Not to mention a used Kia Soul in very good shape goes for pretty cheap on the used market
Does this do anything to the drive modes for the vehicle, or do they operate as normal? I love the wheels man, they look awesome and yeah that gap is waaaaay better.
This is exactly what I want to complete on my '16. Informative and easy to follow diy instructions. Thank you for putting the products in the description. How long did this take you to complete?
How much does it cost wanna lift my sorento 2-3 inches debating on coilspring or spacers
Have your buddy join the Kia soul USA group on facebook, we would all like to see this
Plan on making a follow up to this video? Interested in how you guys like the coilovers. Keep it up, enjoyed this one.
What size wheels how much wide
I’m looking to lift my 2018 Turbo Soul 2 inches.
So if I have a soul like this but I want a more comfortable ride for long trips without changing the ride height what would you recommend
how's the handling and ride improvement ?
Very informative…im guessing a 2011 soul isn't much different?
I also have a 2018 soul, what brand is the coilover kit you used? What was the final lowered height of the car when done? Thanks for the vid, any info is appreciated.
Whats the wheel and tire specs?
