*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 rear side’s stiffness and insufficient vehicle body roll under SPORT mode are improved while maintaining the factory supple damping feeling and handling to provide a fun to operate the load movement.
For a better cornering operation, the vehicle body roll is reduced. Lowering vehicle height allows not only for the appropriate appearance for Si model but also provides better ride comfort.
The stock front suspension design is very complex like S660; after studying the internal structure, to improve the complexity HKS traditional single tube inverted type is selected for the front side. The sufficient stroke is maintained to provide a better drivability and driving performance even without the body-length adjustable system.
The camber adjustment upper plate positioning bolt for the front side is included. The camber position can be selected from the stock position and ±0.5°of the stock position.
The rear damping force adjustment cable allows simple adjustment that is not required lifting the vehicle or removing the dampers. The straight springs also allow a better flexibility of setup.
Compared with the existing Hipermax IV GT series, the ride comfort is more focused on, and the vehicle body roll is reduced especially for Si grade. The comfortability and handlability are implemented together.
For more reliable driving, increase the damping force by adjusting the dial. Adjust the damping force for your purpose of driving.
The error message comes on when the stock suspension is removed. It can be canceled by installing an error canceller available separately.

※To remove the stock suspension, removal of the front knuckle and hub assy is required. It is recommended to perform removal of the front knuckle and hub assy by a professional.
