Re: HKS Hipermax LS coilovers

i found out about the Hipermax LS from him.

i was just wondering if there is more ppl that have it.

i've seen the ad for it, the LS stands for Luxcury Sport. so i think it will be a great set up for the car.

Re: HKS Hipermax LS coilovers

Hello, we can special order the HKS Hipermax LS coilovers for you if you're interested. Pricing is about $1275 and this suspension is specifically designed for the HV35 chassis in Japan. We bring in a good amount from Japan, so lead times are usually 3-4 weeks. However with the recent port strike that's kinda up in the air as we currently have a container from Japan that someone ended up in Panama.

Re: HKS Hipermax LS coilovers

Coil overs are WAY better than springs for a variety of reasons. Springs are just for appearance. Your shock will be operating out of it's effective range and wil be underdamped for the new spring rates and also the stroke will be too short long fo rthe new shorter ride height. It will bottom out more easily and the ride/handling will suffer. The full suspension kit is not designed so that you can alter your ride height, but rather so you can corner weigh tthe car and balance the suspension corner to corner using weight scales. This help handling, ride, balance and even tire wear. On top of that the matched spring and shock will give you better handling (shock is always higher performance shock) and since the suspension was designed for lowering the shocks are of a shorter stroke variety to maintain suspension travel while increasing diameter to also increase dampening capacity. Bottom line? If you just want looks get springs. If you want the better handling and ride quality go for full suspension. the Hyper Max LS and the Tein CS kits are going to be your best bets for a comfortable ride while still giving you a huge increase in handling ability and adjustablity.
