of course. just depends on driving conditions. but nevertheless, i just want a quick turnaround time if i needed my coilovers rebuilt. but they ARE amazing coilovers for the money.

I'll have to call 'em again. The HKS support person stated that they were rebuilt in the US, with occasional need to order parts from Japan.

The backroads I drive tend to be really bumpy and have uneven pavement quality. My stock AP2 suspension seems to soak up the rough stuff pretty well but the rear end tends to bound around a lot, leading to my coilover search. What do folks think about the HKS in those situations? Will they be compliant enough to keep the car planted or am I going to be lifting wheels off the pavement? I had been leaning towards the KW v3 or CS but have read several complaints that they are slow to take a set in corners and transitions.

damper adjustments....
I contacted HKS USA by email and they told me to start by turning the knob completely COUNTER clockwise. This is the opposite of what I am used to. Can someone else confirm this?
The presets would be nice as well. I'll probably have to contact HKS for this though.

yea this would mean it starts from the softest setting. So tuning clockwise gets stiffer.

Does anyone know if this will fit a 2008 model? HKS released this coilover in 2007 so their testing was done on 2000-2007 models. They have not tested them on 2008 or 2009 model. As far as I know the suspension components should be the same for all model years. Can someone confirm this? I don't want to buy them and not have it fit...
