Default Just waiting on my HKS Hipermax RS

Got my Machined J8's and Racing Brake kit on. Just ordered my HKS RS Coilovers. I definately need to drop this about 1".

It would be nice if you could give us a little review after you put some miles on the HKS

I definately will do that. It is good to read the reviews from fellow Z owners. It is also good to talk to them. Darren @ Intense Motorsports recommend these based on my wanting a comfortable ride and better perfroamnce. He also has a similar setup (Hipermax LS) which is not available. This is the closest to what he uses and he said the ride was comfortable.

Just installed my HKS RS. Need to set the height now.

It appears as though I have to pretty much remove the rear spring in order to set the height. Any help??

I have had the HKS RS installed for about 3 months now. I am pretty happy with it, but I would like to lower the rear a little more. I am waiting for my damn exhaust to come in first, before I do anything more to it. I have the fronts set at 25, and rears at 28.

the HKS RS rule hard, they are one of the lowest rear dropping coilovers available in that under $2k range

Ok, I got the height set the way I want. About 1.0" in the front and 1.3" in the rear.

The ride of these coilovers is better than stock. Smoother and tighter without the harshness of some of the other coilovers. I have the dampners set at the middle for the front and 1 turn softer than middle for the back. I am still working on the setting for the dampners though.

If any one is interested in these, I recommend calling Darren at intensemotorsports.com.

I am definately very happy. Now, I am thinking about getting sway bars. I will post some pics after the Holiday.



Happy Holidays and Happy New Year.
