HKS Coilovers *Pics*
Just got done installing HKS Hypermax coilovers. I love them!
Here is some of its features:
Hiper Linear Piston – Linear progression piston adjusts oil passages for precise stroke management resulting in smoother valve movements. As piston speed increases, dampening rate linearly increases.
- Strengthened rubber upper mounts – enhanced durability
- Monotube design
- Shock-body length adjustable (most applications)
- 65mm diameter springs – Cold wound and manufactured in-house at HKS to ensure quality and consistency
- Stainless lock nut & ride height adjuster – feature anti-rust & corrosion characteristics for enhanced durability.
- 30-way adjustable dampening
- Hard chrome-plated cylinder shaft
- Non-electrolysis Nickel plated shock bodies provide durability in severe weather conditions.
- Pillowball upper mounts optional on certain applications
- Dustboots standard
- 1 year limited warranty

The wheels are 17's, and yes they are the advan RG I not the II's. The rear spring is suppose to have the HKS upside down. I know I thought it was wierd but thats what the manual showed.
THanks agian for all the comments.

Yes. It feels, 'to me', that it is a bit softer than factory suspension. I left the HKS's in there factory dampening settings, to get a good idea where to start adjusting from. After driving around a little bit, I decided that I would keep the settings where they are at. I drive my car everyday 60 miles to work and 60 miles back home, so I wanted something a little on the soft side for my daily commute. I don't track the car, so I really can't tell you that it 'handles' better, but I'm a girl, what do I know?
awesome. well it looks good nonetheless, and a comfortable suspension set up is high on my list as well, as i have a 30 mile commute everday to work. but thanks for the info!

Being that it's softer than stock, when you hit bumpy areas in the road, does the car bob front to back, or absorb it and stay neutral without harshness?
Any details would be appreciated.
It looks like the rear spring has 6 effective coils. How many are on the front spring?
