i think the suspension is set at 20 out of the box. read that paper that came with it. im not sure though. i didnt mess with my settings either. i tihnk it feels a lil more stiff than sport suspension . i tihnk my rears are at the lowest height setting. i am happy with my setup. now if i can just get my alignment perfect.

 

I love my suspension! and it does quite well on the drag strip too

 

i am having problems with my suspension. i want to slam it in the rear but dont know how,. i think its on the lowest setting and its still not that low. does hks make a lowering spring for the rs coilovers. i know tanabe makes a different spring for thier sustec pros

 

Has anyone gone from Tien Flex to the HKS?

 

I don't think they do, but people have done a spring perch mod or something like that, that allows more lowering by how much you cut the spring perch for.

 

The rubber piece is replaced when you put on the adjustable height system in the rear. If you pull out one of the collars you should be able to go lower.

 

So I'm guessing that not all coilover kits replace that factory perch then? I know some people with coilovers are able to do this.

 

Don't know about all kits, but I don't see many other ways to get the height adjustment capabilities with the bucket as the other end of the spring.

On a lowering spring the spring mount is a great way to lower it with cutting the springs. Redludes guide is great for this.

 

how do i pull out one of the collars?

 

more help rookie. you seem to know abot about suspension.

 

Drop the spring bucket, take out the spring, the upper mount should have 2 collars. The springs sits on one the other is a lock collar. Take out the top collar and spin the collar the springs sits on all the way up. It'll lock in place at the end of the threads.

 

would this be dangerous. is the a write up for this procedure. thanks for the help rookie

 

I'm running the HKS Hipermax RS coilovers and I removed the lock collars in the rear to get as low as possible. No problems at all. You shouldn't have any problems. It will buy you another 0.25" of drop.

 

Any alignement issues with hks rs.
thanks

 

Not with mine but I have front and rear camber kits. Anytime you drop more than about 1" you're going to have a difficult time keeping things in spec without some kind of camber correction parts.
