I feels so good having this series back with new cars
They will have a million more issues with these cars too lol.
yees you say it and wrx"s too
Yeah because its the only actually entertaining series they still do.....no some stupid wish parts test🤦
If they ever do this again I hope it's with a honda like a s2k maybe
Idk, I miss the Z's
Next video: New head gaskets damn those likes, wish i had as many subs :D
totally necessary on an older Subaru, hell, my 2018 3.6R Outback needed a head gasket once when a year old or so
Every second episode is going to be replacing the head gaskets 😂
The video after that : real te's or rep te's
If it’s a 2.5, yes
Lmao
To see Nolan improving so much and getting so comfortable driving on the track is awesome. Love everyone's energy and for bringing hi-low back!
Nolan having best time lap amongst them shows A LOT of improvement
Has Donut ever considered doing a 24 hours of 🍋 car? It looks like it would be a cool series
yeah i agree, i mean just based off the fact that they are willing to put 30k+ worth of mods in a car i dont see why they wont make a new hi low series and mod cars to create a type of time attack car
Could potentially be the best car related series on KZhead. Really great idea mam 👍
They already did it years ago
There first vid was on the 24 hours of lemons
Yessss do it
That Jobe split shot taking out the strut tower was cool as heck. Fantastic job editors!!
when he reached over to grab it and help Other Jobe... mind blown
@@slaypiece I’m glad I’m not the only one that was like, ayo👀
Love how this episode has everyone doing what they do best, Jobe explaining how to get things installed, Nolan and James looking good for the camera and Jerry explaining the sciency stuff
It's the Avengers of car KZhead shows. Edit: And don't even ask who is what Avenger, because that shit's easy. Zach is Captain America, Nolan is Hulk, James is Nick Fury, Jerry is Iron Man, Jimmy is Spider-Man, Eddie is Hawkeye.
This is the best video they've dropped in a hot minute and I think your comment really identifies the secret sauce. Seeing all the hosts operating in their specialty lanes just works.
So glad HiLow is back but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss Aaron on these
What happened to him?
@@rajivbeachoo3785 no idea tbh
They didn’t brought him back for this season. It wasn’t Aaron’s call…
@@punisherpr I recently came across his IG post on Reddit where he kinda explains his absence. Horrible decision by the bosses to part ways with him. Sucks :/
@@ivansanchez6070 Im pretty sure it’s the same post I read… it does suck bad…
something very worth mentioning is how long it will take for them to wear out, i hade a couple of coilovers from a budget swedish company and they dont really give the same suspension at all like they did in the beginning. like, it almost feels like they're shot now
Yeah this. I actually had a pair of maxspeed and they blew out In less than 6 months. Absolute garbage.
How long till you feel like they were shot
@@IoSkyBoyoIso what ya recommend
11 months late. But this was my thought as well. It's more difficult to test longevity and reliability because human can be so impatient. I ran TEIN Monoflexes for the last 13 years and sent them in for refurbish to TEIN about a month ago. (They recommend every 3 years refurb.... sheieieieieieieieieieieie bruh)
@@IoSkyBoyoI What were you expecting, tho? You paid peanuts, you get monkeys.
I love this new style of High Low. You got the explanation of the parts with Nolan and James. You got the details of the install and specific details with Jobe You got the tear down of the parts with Jeremiah This feels like High Low, Money pit, and B2B all in one and I love it.
Hi-Lo is back and I am really excited to see what you guys do with them! Edit: good god you guys didn't have to like my post this much and what is the reply section?
Påsk you
I'm not excited at all
they definitely gonna wreck it
They need to bring it back High low but with a motorcycle
@/hvtrs8%2F-wuw%2Cymuvu%60e%2Ccmm-cjalngl-UAkSZ4JW2dxsuOFivic%5Ds%5BVS ur bugging then
This season with these cars is feeling great! Super entertaining. Would be fun to see the donut team tackling some real team racing maybe time attack or something.
I've been following Donut off and on for years and I just wanted to throw you guys a a little love for the new animations. The whole camber breakdown section was dope to watch, it will definitely help new wrenchers visualize what these adjustments do for their ride! Great job guys, and thanks for the top tier content. PS. I am in no way affiliated with your animation/post processing department. But I am a big fan of the artistic direction you've taken your channel(s)
Yes totally agreed! They added character and life to the videos!!!
Never get rid of High vs Low. This series is by far my favorite car series on KZhead
Well said! Same
They will have to at one point. There are only so many "low" parts they can put on cars, it doesn't matter what car it is either. You can buy these MaxShittingRods for hundreds of different cars but at the end of the day, they are garbage no matter what you put them on. Just like "Up to Speed", this won't last forever unless they really go out of the box. I really believe the next step for them is buying salvage cars and restoring them.
I actually might be in agreement on that
But they need to have better choices for high end. Those TEIN coilovers are not high end. Those are average.
can we take the time to appreciate how good of a driver our boy Nolan is ?
yeah, like damn
@NolanJSykes is King of the Road!!
I think if Adam didn't oversteer at the second half of the course, he might've beat Nolan's Hi Car time. But still, yes, Nolan's driving is good. I mean, he spent a lot of time driving autocross, didn't he?
I did not think Nolan would beat Zach's time, tbh. I was under the impression Zach was a more experienced driver, but the fact that Nolan had a time only a second slower than a pro driver's was impressive.
Seriously..
I really like how you spent the extra time and effort to go into detail about assembly quality, settings, types, and other details of the new components.
We need to talk about the enormous jump in the quality of this show. Really impressive. Love it even more.
Gotta say I’m always impressed by Nolan’s skills. He’s not a profesional but he managed to do an awesome lap time
probably does sim racing alot
@@iyot1020 even if he did, it's impressive as hell that he was able to get the times he got. Shop daddy actually drives for a living and Nolan was able to keep up or do better than him.
Alot different but nolan used to do drag racing
@@360noscopebogan2 him and his dad also built those dragsters themselves did they not?
Proud of Nolan, if I remember right he used to be not super confident in his driving overall but he was out there laying down some of the best track times .
This format is great! Diving into identical ish parts and running scientific tests on them! The disection was definitely a huge bonus! Good stuff guys!
Never really seen these videos until now, super refreshing to see just a group of car guys be friendly and generally encouraging to one another lol. Subbed for sure
I'm about 2:15 into this episode, and this is notably leveled up. The editors must have worked overtime! Loved the detail of the boxes exploding away to the posed coilovers on the table. That smooth time lapse of Jobe explaining the install while he does it was incredible! And tossing the coilover gag with the victim behind, perfect. You guys were awesome before, this is simply incredible stuff.
I couldn’t agree more
@@firzaaryogi Same
You guys are showing lot of advancement with your segment editing an overall flow of the show. Donut has always been good at teaching with a simplified style of explaining ting, without skipping too many important details. Now I can tell that the rhythm of the episode's progression is evolving to resemble a classic television show. You guys are ABSOLUTELY murdering the production value and presentation! VERY QUALITY... I love you
First thing I thought when watching. Well said! 🤠
Agree
I love the return of this series, and I love how well constructed, informativce and entertaining they are. You guys seem to genuinely love making videos, and I can't get enough. Well done guys!!!!!
What’s up DM😎 my son and I have watched all of your videos from the beginning to current day and have laughed and learned a lot. We have an NB2 Miata that we bought the Maxrods for and they need to be refilled with the hydraulic fluid. The issue we are having and would love the help on is, we can’t find the correct fluid and specs to rebuild them. We even called the company and visited their site but there were no clear instructions on the subject. Thank you in advance and keep making some of our favorite videos 🤩
Zack helping himself remove the coil over was dope editing 👍🏻
Less than 5 minutes in to the video I can clearly see a major difference in how the video is produced, shot and scripted. I'm honestly blown away with the quality of production we are seeing from you guys! I'm all for this much more scientific/data driven content! I'm studying mechanical engineering tech at a local college and part of my passion is from working on cars and watching your videos.
Agreed, his video is a massive improvement from Donut videos from this year
Less than 10 seconds into the video I can clearly tell you guys aren't good at math. 2100/300=7. "But just because these cost six times as much..."
Its feels so good to have thia series back! This is so entertaining! Thanks Donut !
So excited for more of this series!
from watching james sit in no lighting telling us abt the history of cars and car companies back the day to watching the guys getting sponsored by ebday motors now, its just so awesome and great journey man, congrats to the whole donut media team for making it
and also getting into two major video game titles too, this is an amazing journey

ogs remember turekd and all of ryan and chris forseburgs shenanigans at english town raceway.
This guys are slowly but steadily generating a (classic) top gear vibe with their interactions between themselves. Congrats
Need more pranks. But i agree. They have great chemistry together. Which is 80% of a show.
This. This is what we need.
like 19:28
And way better than top gear america, which just feels like "these famous guys who don't really know each other like cars, let's slap em together"
You should check out the Car Trek series on Tavarish's channel, him, hoovie and ed basically do the old top gear style challenges
The production and entertainment value has massively evolved from season to season. Love to see the progression!
Thank you for making these they help us out with making better decisions for our very limited budgets 👍🏻
We're building a WRX too... we should have a race once they're done!
Yeah!
The Directing and Editing on this video has been insane. I'd love to see more of the continuity and creativity! Good job Donut!

Love this series, one of the absolute best automotive series out there.
Just binge watched the Nissan Hi-Lo and I’m so ready to get into this one too !! THANK YOU FOR MAKING SUCH AWESOME SHOWS and for free to view ! ❤ legends
This is peak Donut. Great video filled with useful information, hands on wrenching, and humor. This is great. Thanks.
Nope, peak donut was a couple years ago with HiLow season 1. I don't know, something just feels off about newer donut videos. They feel a bit empty. Soulless.
Nah. Peak donut died long ago. Even this feels low effort compared to first hi low.
I'm just happy it's not a podcast style... action is better than talking. there should be a different channel for shop talk.
Nolan is the definition of a car guy that has gone from 0 to hero. He’s really come such a long way mechanically & as a driver
right?! such good lap times.
Other than his cool name, he is a dud.
@@JuandongduckSure buddy. He's one of the best drivers on the team and personally my favourite host
@AdamHalvo I am sure your personality is that of a dead moth as well.
@AdamHalvo I am reminded of something like a wart when I watch him. Is it really that horrible? Not really but nobody wants to have them and nobody wants to see it... maybe you?
This series just gets better and better. Great stuff 👊
You guys did flawlessly with this video. 👏 the editing bringing all the ideas together. Using the full team's perspective to ensure the idea of why you'd wanna do this replacement yourself. And just how well you have all grown so naturally into your position. If every video has this quality of personal touch, 👌 this will be the best season hi-lo has ever seen
Their math was off, though. 2100/300=7. "But just because these cost six times as much..."
You guys' production quality is noticably improving, I really enjoyed watching this. PUMPED for hi/lo to be back. You guys really cover it all in these series, and they're very enjoyable to watch. I have learned a lot from this series!
they got forced to improve video quality because of Driven Media lol. not complaining tho, 2 channels w high quality car content is awesome
We can really see how much the channel grow. The editing is just beautiful.
the sound effects are so good😂, im so excited for this series 🎉
Wow, Nolan was FLYIN in those laps! Must be the auto cross he’s been doing! Love the mix of organic shots like Adam overcooking that turn during the “more better” talk alongside the silly shenanigans like Jobe talking about the install and the goofs in the background 😂😂 Peak Donut content. You guys keep getting better, at racing and videos!
Anybody else notice that they pulled a set of KYB AGX’s with upgraded springs (FANTASTIC suspension combo) out of low car to put in the equivalent to hot dogs instead?
That hurts a lot.
Yeah that's insane
They should have never gotten rid of Aaron
@@Clean_Duners what happened to Aaron???
@@Clean_Duners what happened ??
This show gets even better every season
As someone that owned a sti bro the amount of engines u gone through iv never related more love this channel
Love seeing all the hosts involved in this. This Hi-Lo series MIGHT be Donut at their best. As a Donut OG, this is beautiful to see.
Can't give the team enough credit for the quality and visual style of the animations/illustrations. So awesome!
love these videos give me extra info on which parts I should get my car and 100% of the time I like the options 👍👍
Adding the segment with the diagnostics on the parts you're using was very cool and informative. Loved it. Glad you guys are evolving content and not just doing the same thing every time. Good stuff fellas.
Congrats on the sponsor! These videos are very well written, produced and edited. It’s been great watching this channel grow and it looks like you guys are in the zone.
I cannot wait for the engine mod phase to hear these beasts sing. Equally I will watch every episode between now and then. Plus the production on this is pretty sweet
sing more like blow up trash ass engines 4
@@Moe_z I’m terribly sorry my enthusiasm and support for the content has offended you
@@1991julez it did not ur cool I just think these cars have the worst engines and sound like fart cans
Lol go watch the latest video I called it
My 98 civic has max speeding rods I had them for 3 years and they still work brand new, I had bc coils before and they leaked twice, Im always buying max speeding rods they are also comfortable for daily driving
7:37 I love how Nolan is just awkwardly holding a hammer in the background
I love that Nolan had the fastest lap times, so proud of him
Nolan is always so positive, he's a gem.
Love the CPR going on in the background. Too funny.
donuts editing has improved soo much
Love seeing everyone at donut improving their skills from the mechanics to how the videos are produced and edited
Production levels and overall quality of the videos just keeps getting better and better, you guys are killing it
I’m glad someone else noticed it too, it’s great seeing donut improve even more so much over the years
Production on this video is so damn good. Such an informative video. Fantastic!
genuinely impressed by nolans performance love the hi-low series cant wait to keep watching
Like everyone else seems to be saying. The production quality and overall skill you guys have as a team to make content and deliver time and time again really breaks my heart that you don't have a TV show that you have at least enough control over to write your own scripts and make your own mini series as you've been doing here just on television as well! You guys deserve everything you have and then some. You seem like some really great people seriously.
TV is dead, man. This is the new TV.
@@andoletube oh 100% but id love to see them make even more revenue! I honestly just have tv for background noise at this point.
BROO the transitions between everybody are so seamless feel so natural!!! The production quality is top notch and the chemistry between everyone sublime. This is the quality i expect from donut !!!Good job to everybody at donut media !!
bRoOoO
the ruined outro @20:00 was legendary 😂
@@arushs121 hehehe bro bro
I love these Hi Low car videos because it gives you an excellent comparison between high end and budget parts.
the antics and background shenanigans are still amazing 😂😂
Hi Lo is back! this is by far my favorite series on this channel, can't wait to see what you do to these subies
This is gonna be the best series to me and one I've been dying to see. Happy you guys are using 06-07 wrx's because that's my daily, thank you I really needed this smile more than I knew
Bro! Good for you man! this must be so exciting for you! I wish they did a Hi Lo on an acura tl 2006😅, or a Nissan 200sx 1985. (I got the 200sx from my grandma)
You make sure to have a good day today buddy, Everything will work out.
@@207HappyToBeHere thank you, I hope it does just sucks knowing I can't really work on cars that much without a lot of pain...yay spinal injuries
@@207HappyToBeHere I really do appreciate it though, thank you
I just got an 07 Impreza for my first car and I’m so hyped for this series!
Only place where i don't actually skip the ads. You dudes are UBER entertainment
I like the change to focus on the parts and not so much on low team and hi team and the the whole shop working it together not separate
Did you guys get a new editor or did he just have more fun this time?
New editor
NEW SEASON?! God it took no time at all for me to binge every episode of Hi Lo and I'm so excited to see a WRX version. This series has given me enough confidence to get to building an S15 this winter!
This video is a triumph of cinema
I hope Nolan can get a chance to be the high car during a later season.
Finally some older style donut content. Ive missed this so much.
2:05 I love what y'all did there! He got knocked out by the coilover D;
Anybody ever heard of Gecko Suspensions? When I bought my '10 MINI Cooper Clubman S it definitely needed a set of coilovers. After a bit of research I decided to go with a set of Geckos for about $1300. For that price they are the best set of coilovers I have ever bought. Since then I've gotten my Clubman to push about 320ish hp with a 4.3 0-60. The 60-120 is even more impressive, but where the car really shines is on the track. I have had and driven cars with Tein, Skunk2, Bilstein and KW Variants. My Geckos ride just as good and I'm proud to have them on my car. They really are a good set of coilovers. If your on a budget they are really hard to beat in my opinion. Great High/Low video. Love the new Boost Creep shirt. I had to go ahead and grab one before they sold out.
the way justin looked when you got on the back of the quad 🤣🤣
Slick editing! That bit where Zack is explaining how coil-over replacement works was really excellent.
Jesus, yall got something great here. I've been watching car shows for literally over 30 years and this show even after only 5 minutes I connected to like that once in a lifetime feeling ya know! This show, the guys the excitement of it WOW!
I love the Hi/Low Car Series :D
Shout out to the production this season. It's on point.
The wrx is one of my all time favorites! So glad you are doing the new series with these!
I love how this is explaining everything, and how it matters. This High Low season is gonna be AMAZING
I have a set of the maxspeeding coilovers on my ek. It is not a track car, but a daily driver. I Have about 5-6k's on them after about 2 year. I have had no issues with them and for the money they even have a fairly decent ride.
I forgot how much I've missed HiLow. One of the best series on KZhead.
Just gotta say it breaks my heart that the production quality of the Forza Donut Media content was 1/100th the quality you guys deliver on a regular basis here...
Yeah so far it wasn't that great. Basically a half hour tutorial.
Blame the current staff of Playground Games. It's 100% clear that the original team that made FH1 is long gone and replaced by business bro's and trend chasers, not trend setters.
Supposedly there's supposed to be a part 2 to the update soon
@@dmitri546 if you suppose
@@dmitri546is that true?
I love that they tease Nolan so much all the time yet he is always at the top end of every driving challenge. :D
He's at the top because of all the milk he drinks.
Never clicked on a video faster! Love this series and the new cars
i have the same maxpeeding rods on my forester and they are amazing i love them so much
To the editor who did that sick split shot of Job stumping and taking the old coilover out at the same time so he could then catch it from the stump: I SEE YOU!
I am so immeasurably happy that im getting the OG hi lo vibe from this and it is getting me really hyped to mod my car more, it is also inspiring me and making me happy to be in the car scene. Thank you donut media love you forever and always!!!
Likewise, I started thinking about all the other mods I could do to my car after watching this.
You guys know your community love this series
The video editing is amazing!
The editing on this one won’t go unnoticed. Awesome work!
Yes sir it’s a good day when donut media posts a video
Not since they turned to wish centric videos and dropping all their legacy shows like d-List, wheelhouse, up to speed etc. Doesn't feel like donut anymore
Nothig can't beat nolan's first engine start up.That was amazing and really motivational and uplifting.
My maxpeeding coilovers were so bouncy on the stiffest setting and only lasted about a year but I bought them because I was still learning a lot about cars and suspension but I recently switched to racelands and they’re amazing so far for only a few hundred $ more
Racelands are basically in the same tier of product as maxpeeding both cheap made in China coilovers, if you want something better get some KWs,BCs or Bilsteins
Would you recommend that I install racelands on my e46 coupe or should I spend a couple hundred more dollars for something better ?
Race lands are soften out after 6months. Been through 3 sets with in 2 years. Mainly front seals blowing out. Then I had to swap to 12kg 180mm length springs. No issues after that.
@@louisgonzalez6935 ah so no bueno? What brand should I go with then? My limit is $600
@mariolanderosgarcia5373 you're better off saving your money for longer and buying quality coilovers. If you were to buy cheap Chinese coilovers you'll end up spending more money in the long run as opposed to just buying the right ones the first time.
