*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

・The high rating MAXⅣSP for Z33 is also available for Z34 now. This suspension kit is designed for high-grip radial tires which can be used on circuits.
・It is common to use a specially shaped spring for separated suspension. Consider of changing the spring rates in this sports suspension kit. The retainer type for straight coil spring in MAX IV SP Z33 is used in this set up.
・Suitable damper setting reduces unnecessary movement in sports use, which also improves drivability and creates more grips on tires with fast response in cornering. Smooth and firmly feeling is defined in this set up.
・By adjusting the damper softer, it eliminates the stiffness for daily uses. Also, it absorbs the shock from upthrusts to an acceptable level on normal streets.
・Recommended dial setting for circuit is 0~10, winding road and high speed is 10~20, normal street is 20~30.
・For those who are aiming for driving at international class circuits, it is recommended to give up the ride comfort and upgrade the spring rate by 2mm/kg to be more steady.
・High-grip radial tires are used in the test circuit. We recommend to install the size that is matching the stock tire outer diameter. Also, enhancing the water and oil cooling system and installing the LSD are recommended.
 
●Required Modification for Installation
 Vehicle's interior modification is required to install the adjustment dial for rear damping force.
