the rear is maxed out, the front has some play left. both front and rear have not settled since the install, so it will be much lower later. hope this helps


–oh btw, these are the sports.

i'd definitely recommend rolling and possibly pulling as well. my first setup was with HKS RSII's and well though it didn't tuck the wheels, daily driving scored lines into the rear tires before rolling/pulling.

—i'm not sure if it makes much of a difference but, with the RSII's i was running on 245's in the front and 275's in rear without rolling and it rarely rubbed, but now i'm at 255 front, 285 rears after rolling/pulling and since then no rub, even on hard U-turns or the occasional unknown pothole

NismoZomsin, can you take a picture of the model label on the side of one of your HKS dampers? HKS has never made a RSII that I have ever seen.

HKS RS coilover
Mildly valved
spring rates 448/448

HKS II coilover
Aggressively valved
spring rates 504/504

RS has now been replaced by the HKS III
II has now been replaced by the HKS Sport

Of course I'm too lazy to figure out how much shorter or taller your listed tire and wheel sizes are vs oem.
