HKS Hypermax vs. II?

What is the diff. between the HKS Hypermax Ls coilovers vs. the Hypermax II. If I buy these will I need any adjustable camber or tow-in parts? I do not want to spend $1800.00 on coilovers plus another $800.00 for all the crap to get the car aligned. My car is an 04 coupe with 20" Maidos.

no coilovers for the G35 come with alignment pieces. The LS is tuned for ride quality and the II is for track.

Re: HKS Hypermax vs. II?

Three things to know about the LS system. One, it's designed to offer up a like stock ride quality. It is not designed to impress the performance minded. Second, it shift's the spring rate balance of the car to the front, so a car with them will understeer more should you be inclinded to push it to the limit's. Spring rates front 448lbs rear 336lbs ='s F+43% R -2% Transfer's 45% roll stiffness to the front! Secondly, the dampners cannot be adjusted, but the LS+ version does have that.

The Hypermax II are sprung and valved for performance street, with 504lbs spring rates front and rear. The front to rear balance is also a lot better, F+60% R+47% ='s transfer of 13% roll stiffness to the front, but difference to the LS which transfers 45% to the front.

If in the market for a comfort type coilover, I'd pick the Tein CS before I'd go with the LS.
