where can i get them? and who has them?

how do you like the ride. i road in one the other day and loved the feel. i thought it was going to be really uncomfortable but was actually quite nice. does anyone have any imput on these coilovers?

I wish TEIN had some coilovers with a similar feel. do they? i just love the idea of EDFC. any other companies have anything similar. Im looking for a ride that feels similar to the HKS RS....

I have the RS's and am very happy with the feel and performance of the system. This is the second HKS coilover setup Ive had and the quality is second to none, you cant go wrong w/ HKS.

Ride is very compliant for city driving but can be dialed in for serious canyon carving performance, great for the best of both worlds. Damping can be adjusted in less than 2 minutes all around without removing wheels, even with BBK (I have 13+" rotors in rear).

Youll need to consider camber adjustments as these coilovers will totally wackout your camber specs. I have SPC rear toe bolts, camber arms and front control arms from 350EVO. Also Hotchkis sways front and rear. Total cost was $2900ish without install and alignments.

IMO these are great for the street and track. Drove to the track on a soft setting, turned it up for track sessions, then back to soft for the drive home.

Fronts are really easy to adjust (just pop the hood), rears should be just as easy if you have 19's or bigger (you can reach right in, unless it's a mesh wheel).

 

For you guys with the RS system, what is the max height you can set them too? Can it be set at OEM 350Z height? Or OEM G35c height? I'm on oem 350Z shocks/springs and don't want to go any lower than that if I invest in a coilover system.

 

I just purchased the RS suspension for my coupe and wondering what is the typical drop that I could use with my Volk SF-Challenges. I don't want rubbing or that slammed look. I just want something with less finger gap than the stock 05 6mt suspension. Any input is appreciated.

 

Bump for my question....

 

the beauty of any coilover setup is it allows almost infinite adjustablity(within a certain range) for your height setup. i prefer a little "nose down" look and the coilover route allows for that.

as for height of the OEM 350 or coupe or sedan, Im sure you can attain that height with the RS's. max height, that i dont know either but i do know you can drop the car so low that you cant drive it. you can probably raise it back to near stock height if needed.

just be aware that these cars are pretty sensitive to raising/lowering for camber and toe. each time you move the coilovers significantly, youll probably need an alignment and some kind of camber/rear toe adjustment.

 

Is they any one that can describe the difference and their preference between the RS and the Tein Flex. Also wondering if S-techs with D-specs would do the trick for superb handling, or are coilovers the way to go.

 

One main difference between the HKS HM RS and the Tein Flex is that the HKS HM RS are Mono-Tube shocks versus twin tube.

You can read a lot more on that avantages of monotube here...

There are other differences as well, but thats the main construction difference.

 

Aaaaaah! Performance wise are they the same?

 

Personally, I believe construction is the root of the performance of a product. A Monotube shock will perform better than a Twin tube shock. Will they both offer the same general function? yes...but one will be better than the other....though I might be biased..but hands down, I would go with the HKS....thats all that I would and have used on all my cars.....now and before my affiliation with HKS.

 

Cool.

 

Well the other big difference I belive is that the Tein Flex allows adjustability of ride height and spring preload separately while the HKS RS does not. Could be a big deal depending on one's goals.

 

Actually your incorrect, the HKS HM RS are adjustable in both ride height and stiffness...in fact, the HKS HM RS are 30 way adjustable where as the Tein Flex are only 16 way.
