So Kamal34, Now knowing your situation, how does your car feel when driving in local roads?

Juan,
Finally some pix of your KenStyle G! I say keep the 20's! If the offset on your rims are good enough to clear fenders, slam it, it will look sick! At least you have the ability to raise and lower at anytime with those coilovers. Can you adjust comfort ride on those? ...... Love rolling on my 20's.

Juan, my ride is fine bro. It honestly rides well and handleing is an amazing difference. No doubt in my mind that its the best way to go. I know a lotta people have the Teins and ive heard a lotta good things about them but ive also heard bad. Only bad thing ive heard on the HKS is that "its too stiff" but that doesnt make any sense considering you can change the settings and why is that a bad thing? depends on what you like I guess

Okay…Kamal34, Weird I was leaning more to Tein CS mainly looking for comfort quality, but when it came down to getting a set of coilovers for HIN and deadlines running short, there wasn’t one set of CS in America and also on back order for months. The company who sold me the HKS RS was willing to work with me if only I put a decal on my car, so I got the RS for 1200+shipping, what the hell……

See my main concern was finding the right setting for comfort from the RS which I did, it is obvious riding with 20”s the first thing you to do is roll the inner fenders in the rear to avoid any rubbing(depending on rear tire size), but after that its all gravy. Don't get me wrong I love the RS, it is true the handling is amazing and ride quality is better. Also when I installed the GT SPEC package the handling improved to amazing to unbelievable in the curves. In my opinion, if anyone looking to improve handling GT SPEC package is the way to go, I would even get GT SPEC way before sway bars, then the sway bars. Anyway thanks for the info Kamal34..........

that was actually from a buddy of mine. Ive known him for years. If you want, I can get you a set for around $1600-$1650 I believe. Let me know if your still interested. Thats the price he normally sells that for.

Kamal34,

With the RS at its softest damping setting, was your ride as soft as stock or was it stiffer? How is the bounce with your RS installed? Thanks.

If you really do your research, in the HKS website they show the LS+ with a spring rate of 9(F) & 8(R) and the RS with a spring rate of 8(F) & 8(R).
And note they both are 30-way dampening and rebound adjustability,
So I personally think, my opinion is that they're the same only with different names....

If I was in your situation get the RS for 1200, but check that the shocks are okay.....
