too scared to show the finished height?

by **Akwoo** » Tue Dec 11, 2007 6:30 pm

pretty much same height as KWs, had to fight peer pressure from my cousin though to not drop it more. Theres probably at least another 3 inches of adjustment left to go down more.

Nice work Alan, if you have the extra dosh and handling and adjustable ride height is what you are after, coilovers are def. the way to go.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

arhhh yes.. now that's what im talking bout

how do u find the coilovers u got in atm?

very responsive turning, heaps more turn in (i think thats the word to use) - basically after I turn the corner, its more easier to stay on the inside line now.

softness wise, its pretty much the same as the KWs.
Fronts are softer as it uses a 4kg spring (tein 6, KW 6, tein mono flex 7).
I had my worries about this before buying it, but now I must say, HKS have made a good decision about this, bump responsiveness is a whole lot better, when you fly around a corner and hit a bump, I can easily regain control a lot better.

at high speeds, its a lot more stable - I think its something to do with the mono tube and Hiper Linear Piston damping system. I believe it is very similar to MSV in Tein Mono Flex.
