Default 350z with HKS Hipermax III SoCAL

Hi guys, first of all, I apologize if I post in the wrong spot. I have no clue where this would go, so if you need me to move it please let me know.

I'm recently planning on getting a new set of suspension. I've been debating on what to get. I felt it would make much more sense I can sit in one and feel the difference before I make up my mind. It was the same way I decide on Berk HFC and HKS true duo.

I was wondering if anyone in the 626-SoCAL area has the HipermaxIII coilover installed on their Z. I would very much like to meet them and take a quick ride to feel what its like.

I don't mind driving so if you are a bit farther away, and don't mind me showing up to take a ride, please let me know as well.

Thanks again for looking guys, I hope one of you guys would be so kind to help me decide.

Thanks again!

THanks for the head up man, I really appreciated. But why flam HKS? All I know is that I've heard good reviews on the product, but I want to test it out before I make sure it is the one I want.

Too bad you are on East

For sure dude, I'll let you know how it went if I can find someone that would kindly give me a ride. I have a nismo and I don't mind letting them a ride on my car in return

If you have it on and would be so kind and give me a ride with it, I might consider. Please PM me for more details. I'm free afternoon on most weekdays.

Thanks again for your kind offer.

HKS headquarters is located in Los Angeles.
You should contact them to see if there are any reps who can help you out:

http://www.hksusa.com/info/?id=251

I remember an HKS rep on here who was quite active with his own HKS equipped Z. I think he moved on to another industry though.

Also here is link to find out all the dealers who will help you out under the prerequisite that you may become their customer:

Thanks Tomei, I hope they are because the price is pretty high on those... lol But I still want to learn more than just written reviews. I want to feel it with my *** before I convince myself to spend the money...

I've contacted HKS, so far no respond.

IF there are any fellow forum member out there with this setup around the 626 area, please share your wealth and let me take a short ride with you

Thanks again.
