*1. Height from road surface to fender arch.
*2. Height at factory is the data tested at HKS with the setting of Full Kit. (HKS' recommended setting.)
*3. Adjustable range (However, the lowest value may not be road legal.
Even within the adjustable range, car body, arm etc. may contact. In such case, it will be hard to drive.
Damper oil leakage or any other problems caused by low ride height setting from the factory setting will void the warranty of the product.)
*4. Drivable range that there is no contact of car body or arms etc. (However, change of tire/wheel size may cause a problem.)
Caution). Actual data depends on each vehicle.

Point
Tested vehicle is 2.0GT-S and 1.6GT-S & 1.6GT. The tire size are 215/50-17, 225/45-18, 245/40-18, 235/40-19, mixed. The stock is made well so we inherited the good parts. However we made it to look stylish by lowering down. We tried to improve harder rear which causes uncomfortable ride, low steering information and bigger rolling. We developed to have a better performance.
For MAX IV GT development, we tested damping force rate to front and rear stroke over and over by test drive. We setup for better performance in driving than the stock which is softer.
The setup dial 15 make more sporty drive and dial 20 makes it softer for comfortable driving.
