HKS hipermax III impressions
Just to add more positive comments about the Hipermax IIIs, My 2004 coupe with sport suspension had about 13000 miles when I added an HKS GT supercharger and at the same time I installed Tanabe NF 210s and Tokico Dspecs, along with Stillen sways. The original sport suspensions was a little floaty especially on the track at Buttonwillow. The lowered suspension and sways improved handling but I found the lack of suspension travel bothersome with rough roads. I was originally going to buy Bilstein pss9s but they are being revised at this time and are not available. I bought and installed the Hipermax IIIs. What a difference. The ride is very compliant, handling is improved feels smooth as original sport suspension but much more controlled. I am very impressed so far. Missed track time at Willow Springs this weekend but I'll update my track impressions in the future.

Do you have pics of the rear installed? My question is if they are a true coilover in the rear or if they still use the spring seat?

PM the guys at Forged Performance. They gave me a great quote for the III Sports. I'm assuming the same great price applies for the regular III's.

the rears have damper adjustment on the shell casing, right? not at the
top of the piston shaft?

The rears have the dampening adjuster on the lower shock body and on my car I can adjust them by putting my hand through the wheel spokes.

Thanks for the review, I just bought mine this week for $1500, just waiting for them to come in. Hope I got a good deal.

Did you guys need a camber kit for these or were you able to have them installed without?
