Default HKS Hypermax Pics

Here are a couple photos of my car after installing the HKS Hypermax suspension. I lowered the real close to 1 1/2" and the front about 1 1/4. The ride quality is very nice. I like the fact that the suspension comes set up by HKS out of the box. I was thinking of doing the Nismo but wanted to lower the car a little more than 1". I still might take the front down a tad but well see how much crap I crash into first.
This set up is very nice if you are using the car for everyday driving. If you are looking for a track set up you should prolly look at JIC or Tein. The ride is very stable the car recovers much better from bumps and dips in the road. All the bounce is gone "thank god" and understear is greatly reduced.

Im very happy with this set up. It is better then I expected it to be.

You say the ride quality is nice but does it ride stiffer than stock but with less bounce? Does it handle better would you say or just ride better TIA

Yes ride is better due to being stiffer without being as bouncy and recovering better when rebounding.

Have you had the car aligned yet? Check your rear camber and see if they can bring them back to the -1.33 stock spec. From what i've seen so far lowering the car more than an inch can only bring back the camber angle back to -1.9 degs, max.

Nice setup though

Please let us know how your allignment goes. I am planning to buy H&R kit wich will lower my car by the same height as your setup. I need to know if camber kit will be needed to get the right allignment.
