Point

The kit aims to retain the driving image of stock suspension while adding more sport's car like behavior to it. Driving pleasure and stylish look are the philosophy behind this suspension.
This model is originally designed with a short stroke suspension. Lowering a car was a difficult task as with further lowering comes an uncomfortable and bumpy ride. HKS has considered this point and performed the optimal setting to avoid any unpleasant rebounds.
Stock suspension is designed the way a driver can enjoy driving on twisty roads with a comfortable amount of a body roll. However, when adding some pace on a winding road, the amount and speed of a body roll may become an obstacle.
With a right choice of spring and careful adjustment of a damping force, HKS has been able to achieve a more confident behavior in cornering and decrease a body roll.
The kit utilizes stock upper mounts for rear side, which usually use with springs specifically designed; however, spring retainers included in this kit were designed to use with straight coil springs that allow an infinite possibility of spring choice to fulfill any driver's preference.
HKS suspension kit comes pre-adjusted for a swift and sporty driving with a step of damping force of Adjust the damping force by +/-15 steps of pre-adjusted position for a swift and sporty driving. For those drivers who prefer a softer drive, adjust the setting around step 20-25.
