Hi there Subaru owners. Today in your 2021 Subaru Ascent we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install SuperSprings, Coiled SumoSprings. Now before we install our SumoSprings on our vehicle here, we wanna make sure and see how our stock suspension rides so we can get a good comparison of the improvements that we've made with the SumoSprings. So the first thing that we wanna see is our factory ride height with it unloaded then we're gonna see what it is loaded and then we'll perform the same tests on our test course with it loaded up without the SumoSprings. And then we'll do it again after we've got them installed to see how they compare. So first off we need to see our ride height.

We're currently unloaded. And here at the back, we're sitting right at about 33 inches. And today we're gonna be putting these on a Subaru Ascent. And here at the front of the vehicle, we're right at about 32 and three quarters of an inch. So we'll go ahead and load it down now and see how our ride height changes.

So we've gone ahead and loaded it up with a couple of hundred pounds of sand and we're gonna recheck our ride height. And now with it loaded up, our ride height here in the back has dropped down about a half an inch. So we're at 32 and a half inches. And here in the front, it's raised our suspension up by about a quarter inch. So we're right at about 33 inches here.

So we're gonna go ahead and get those SumoSprings installed now and we'll recheck our ride height. We're also gonna have to test course before we get those on. So let's get that test course and then get in the garage. So here we are in our vehicle now we're on our test course and what I did notice just lining it up in the test course versus loaded and unloaded, is that we've got a bit of a.. The Hood's raised up a little bit.

We see more hood than we used to. So we lost a little bit of visibility there. We're gonna start with the uneven bump section. This is gonna simulate hitting a pothole. And as we hit these here, the suspension in this vehicle isn't very smooth. So we don't really have a lot of rocking and stuff like that going on. And the biggest thing so far I noticed is that we can see more hood. You can definitely feel that we're leaning back. Next we're gonna go into the even bump section, and this is gonna simulate a speed bump or like pulling in out of your driveway. And here when we go over it. Our suspension again does seem to be taking it pretty well. We don't have a bunch of up and down motion. It's not accessibly stiff. So it does feel fairly well. So let's go ahead and get to our slalom section now. And this is where we're gonna mimic an evasive maneuver. We're in our section now so we're gonna start giving it a little bit of that. And I mean, it handles fantastic. The suspension on this car is really good. You can hear the things moving around a little bit, but it's. It doesn't feel like we've got excessive sway or anything like that. So this vehicle does have a pretty solid suspension system. So we're gonna head back to the shop now. We're gonna get these SumoSprings installed and we'll hit the test course and see how it differs. I feel like this is mainly gonna be for people that maybe have a pop-up camper or something that they're wanting to bring on the back. And they've got maybe three or 400 pounds or even greater in the back there. So we're gonna go in the shop and see what happens. So we've got our SumoSprings installed now. We've got our vehicle loaded up the same weight that we had before. Let's recheck our ride height. And we're right at about 32 and a half inches. So it didn't really raise our vehicle up any having these installed. And now here in the front when we check our suspension, we're right at about 32 and a half inches. So it has lowered our vehicle down about a half inch from where we were, when we we're fully loaded up. So what it seems like is that the suspension enhancement in the back rather than lifting up on the back of our suspension to kinda raise it back up to where it was unloaded, it just kinda repositioned it a little bit. So we're still down a little bit in the back but we're also down in the front now more level kinda closer to where we we're before. So let's hit the test course and see if we can feel a difference. All right, so we're hitting the test course once again with our SumoSprin
