The MaXpeedingrods coilover series explained

The names on MaXpeedingrods coilovers can be confusing, so here is what the brand and our listings actually say:

  • T6 (also sold as COT6): the brand's street performance coilover. MaXpeedingrods lists 24-way damping and 1 to 3 inches of height adjustment, with camber adjustment on some models. Our T6 kits list front spring rates from 5 to 10 kg/mm.
  • T7 (COT7): the firmer line. The brand says it uses firmer spring and damper calibration and racing damping oil, aimed at performance street driving and occasional closed-course use. Both T7 kits we list use 12 kg/mm front springs.
  • SP1: a name on older listings. Our SP1 kit for the 1994-1997 Accord lists twin-tube dampers and separate height and preload adjustment. The brand's own T6 upgrade article uses the SP1 name for the earlier version, so go by each listing's specs.
  • Comfort 1: our Civic and Integra kit has factory-preset damping, stainless shock bodies and softer springs than the other kits we list.
  • Street: height-adjustable kits with fixed damping, often with front camber plates.

The brand says both T6 and T7 are twin-tube designs with 24 clicks of rebound adjustment and preset compression damping. Twin-tube dampers usually ride more comfortably than monotubes but carry less oil, so they handle sustained heat less well.

How to choose

  • Daily driver: start with a T6, Comfort 1 or Street kit and the softest spring rates listed for your car.
  • Spirited street and occasional track days: the T7 or a firmer T6 kit, with camber plates if your car has struts.
  • Budget autocross or drift car: owners on enthusiast forums commonly say this is where MaXpeedingrods makes the most sense.

Read every listing's fitment notes. Some kits need your factory top mounts, and the Comfort 1 kit fits rear fork type cars only.

Setup tips

  • Set ride height with the lower mount, not the spring perch, and keep the advised 7 to 10 mm of spring preload. Our how to adjust coilovers guide walks through it.
  • Check that the listed spring rates suit your car's weight with our spring rate calculator.
  • Get an alignment after install. A lowered car often needs camber and alignment kits to get back in spec.
  • Recheck lock rings and top mount nuts after the first few hundred miles.

MaXpeedingrods FAQ

Are MaXpeedingrods coilovers good?
They are a budget coilover. Owners on enthusiast forums commonly say they are fine for a cheap autocross, drift or project car and give you adjustable height and damping for little money. Others report a firmer ride than stock, soft damping on some cars and hardware that needs rechecking, so they are not the best choice for a car you want to keep for years.
Is MaXpeedingrods legit?
Yes, it is a real parts company. Its 2021 press release says it was established in 2006 and runs more than 20 warehouses in the US, Europe and Australia, and it sells through its own site and the big marketplaces. Whether the parts suit you is a separate question about quality and use.
What is the difference between MaXpeedingrods T6 and T7 coilovers?
MaXpeedingrods says both are twin-tube coilovers with 24 clicks of rebound adjustment and full-length height adjustment. The T6 is tuned for street comfort, while the T7 uses firmer springs and damper settings plus racing damping oil for performance street driving and occasional track use.
Are MaXpeedingrods coilovers good for daily driving?
They can be if you pick a softer kit, such as a T6, Comfort 1 or Street kit, and keep the ride height sensible. Some owners describe the ride as harsher than stock, so start on a soft damping setting and avoid slamming the car.
How do you adjust MaXpeedingrods coilovers?
Set ride height by turning the lower mount on the threaded body, keep the advised 7 to 10 mm of spring preload, and lock the collars. On adjustable kits, the damping knob on top of the damper sets rebound in 24 clicks. Get an alignment afterwards.
What does MaXpeedingrods make besides coilovers?
We list MaXpeedingrods control arms, camber and toe arms, suspension and steering kits, a BMW E46 drift angle kit and lift kits for the F-150, 4Runner and Ram 1500. The brand also sells engine parts such as connecting rods and turbos.
