HKS Suspension update "JIC camber rod pics"
Not sure if anyone has posted pics / info of the JIC camber rods so here yah go. I have been wanting to take the HKS Hypermax down to almost its max drop. Problem being when I did this my rear camber was -2.0 . So I had to wait on the JIC rear camber adjustment kit. Now that the rods are installed I had the suspension brought down to just a hair above the wheels. I was able to correct the camber back to -1.38.
The construction of the rods are great I got a pic below. Much nicer than the stockers. The car feels a bit tighter in the rear during light and heavy cornering. I was very surprised by the HKS after lowering the car as far as I did. It retained all of the ride quality that I had before. I have been VERY happy with this suspension. It continues to surprise me. Im surprised more people are not using it.
Sorry if there are too many pics I went a bit overboard with the camera today

Looks great! Why did you take those stickers off the TEs? The merc silver TEs come with black lettering. Did you end up rolling the rear fender due to the +22 offsets?

What is the max drop on those? Do those pictures represent the maximum because its not overly low.....only a hair more then the eibachs. I wanted the HKS and have been saving, but if thats the max, I may just go with springs. I know it sounds silly to want to lower more then that, but its looks good at shows
What did you pay out the door for them anywho?
Thanks

Ok, makes sense. But what do the HKS allow is what I am asking. 1.5", 2" , 3" of drop? I honestly dont know
My old car had 4" of adjustability with coilovers and it looks (just by the pics) that the HKS has about 1.5"

ALL LOOKS GREAT!
How do you like the Toyo tires?
I'm thinking about putting them on the 18" Forged Rays I just bought. How's the feel, handling, and noise?
Is the cornering break-away predictable?
