■Features

  • Moderate lowering improves the sense of height and the width of the gap between the fenders
  • Designed to deliver both comfort and a firm, responsive ride. With adjustable damping, it adapts from high-speed grand touring to relaxed cruising.
  • Front suspension features a unique design with pillow-ball upper mounts to absorb movement and deliver precise, fluid control.
  • For front damping force adjustment, removal of the utility box is required.

*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.

■Developer comments

Enhanced Stability & Natural Handling
Say goodbye to the unstable feel of stock suspension. 
This setup delivers a firmer, more controlled ride with reduced body roll for a smooth, enjoyable drive.

Rear Mounts Designed for Performance
Includes specially designed rear upper mounts for easier installation and improved ride quality. Damping adjustment is positioned at the top of the damper, allowing quick tuning with minimal jack-up.

Maximum lowering
High lowering range available. However, please maintain ground clearance to protect the low-hanging front stabilizer and the bottom-mounted battery.

 

 

 

 

■HIPERMAX S Key Technologies

Pre-load Valve System
Equipped with a Pre-load Valve System.
This system reduces damping force at high speeds to suppress unnecessary movements, providing a comfortable ride without harsh jolts.

3-year / 60,000 km high-durability specification.
Thanks to advanced tribology, we have achieved both high durability and reduced friction.
Ride comfort and handling have been further refined.
