Default HKS COILOVER

anyone ride on the HKS hipermax coilovers yet? Im not too familiar with spring rates. I want these, but dont know if they will feel too crazy. My car isnt daily driven but i really like a smooth ride still. The streets in the DC metro area are ass so...

thanks

if you want nice and smooth this isnt for you.

if your into canyons or if you go to track i would get it but then again, there are many suspension out there that might suites your needs.

do a little research on suspension it has been discussed here so many many times.

spring rates 13k / 11k.. for me thats pretty stiff since i daily my car.

if you still want some good go but font want to break your back, the V3 are a good compromise, or the blisteins. i have the v3 and love them.

http://maxrev.net/index.php?location=hks.htm

Maxrev had a pretty good review on these. Like some people have said it all depends what you want from your suspension if its just to lower it go with something less expensive like Buddy Club for example. If you want to track your car then something more aggressive like The HKS or KWv3 would be better. Check out his site he has good thorough reviews on several coilover kits.
