The people ask and I deliver (for the most part)... LOL

I'm in the Texas hill country. I rip in ever morning to swim at Barton Springs.The curves are great fun when there is no traffic. My GR handles great.

[@CarQuicks]

I love going to the Hill Country for some back road fun!

Setup is 2600+ on most sites. There are comparable ones that perform at this level for half… one example is the Tanabe revel

[@CarQuicks]

You can get them for lower then $2600 by inquiring with all those site, similar to how my friend did. The site says a price, you can inquire and A LOT of them are running internal deals. As for comparable performance, that metric will depend on the driver. I've been in a car with the Tanabe Revel, its not as good as these. Helper springs, spring rate on the HKS and the damping are the key differentiators, and the roads local to the owner. There are definitely other options that are cheaper, but the comparison would have to account for the price and with the price come certain levels of performance and engineering.

@@CarQuicksactually picked mine up for $1700, + $245 shipping and customs $80, came out to be around $2000 from blackhawkjapan. Def worth it.

HKS is designed in-house, has superior construction quality and 3 year warranty. HKS is the closest to OEM-like quality and fit. I got mine brand new for a Nissan GTR for $2400.

was waiting for this video!

[@CarQuicks]

Hope you enjoyed it!

[@purpledialect5880]

Does anyone know where the damper adjuster dial is on the REAR on these? I have same setup and no clue where it is in the rear.

[@gr4rce]

It is at the top of the rear strut - HKS should have provided an adjustment tool in the box to be able to access it through the wheel well.

[@ViggenStory]

Good choice man. I got these for my car!

[@CarQuicks]

They feel absolutely amazing!

[@packie___]

I just put mine on today. Previously had swift springs with the factory shock and I agree the hks is so much better.!!

[@CarQuicks]

Ha! He literally had Swift Springs too and the difference he is night and day.

[@marcaquii]

Thanks for the videos. I'm likely going to buy these coilovers. Question: For the cowl, did you end up cutting holes for damper adjustment access? Also, how do the rear shocks get it's damping adjusted?

[@gr4rce]

The struts are Inverted so the front dampening adjustments are at the bottom. You just need to cut the wheel all the way and reach under to adjust. For the rear there is a stick that reaches the strut through the wheel well. All dampening adjustments can be done without having to jack up the car.

[@marcaquii]

@@gr4rceoh interesting. Thanks. I’m sold. I was thinking annex was the only company that has inverted fronts.

[@mojoron]

Hey, can you pick me up some orange chicken from that panda express on your way back?

[@CarQuicks]

Stop eating Panda Express please.

[@tom.s3482]

The drawback with these are for the amount of money they should come with camber plates. I don't see any camber adjustments on these...

[@CarQuicks]

You aren't wrong about the camber adjustments on plates being missing. That was left for the Hipermax Rs. However, camber plates will add more harshness to the ride quality, which for the Hipermax S coilovers is aimed towards ride comfort with added performance.

[@JDWURKS]

That shit didn’t lower at all

[@CarQuicks]

Well by the numbers, yes it is lower than stock. Now if you want it slammed or even lower, you could go further, in this application that was not the goal.
