wicked, now THIS is how you get legit feedback via the net!!!
nice job meng...i will for sure examine these coils before making my choice for next season.

 

Really depends on your driving skill and tire that you use.

Update: I been street driving the HKS and its fairly tolerable in SF streets with the rear shock at its softest setting.

 

great coilovers!!! i've been using HKS since about 10 years ago when all the had were the original hipermax(hipermax 1). you almost have to compare them sidexside to most other ones on the market and then you'll know why its probably one of the best coilovers from Japan. great coilovers(HKS), and a great vendor(Evasive Motorsports)!

 

Great review. You answered a lot of good questions.

Don't the KW's come with a lifetime warranty? I can't imagine not blowing a shock driving on the streets of Boston. I've gone through a couple bilsteins in my audi over the years. I come to appreciate having more than a one year warranty with an aftermarket suspension. I've noticed 1 year is the norm for most of the japanese products. How easy/difficult is it to buy a replacement damper or have one rebuilt?

 

Per HKS USA "overhaul is really simple as HKS USA can do the overhaul in house and usually takes 3-5 days for work to be done or longer depending what each overhaul requires."

 

Great Review, these are one on my list, but not my first choice.

 

Thanks for the review Rob

Nice intake setup by the way!

 

Read the review and was sold.

Got a set coming for next weekends track day.

not being a suspension guru makes the 1 adj knob nice over rebound and compression as like most I assume wouldnt REALLY know what does what to really dial them in. The impressive swap from the way more money KWCS must mean something.

For me its the ease of adjusment
look 10x better then kw
localish rebuild with hks in cali if ever any issues
might be too much for daily/streets which means just right

Car will be stock with intake.carbotech pads and these coils so will see how they do for now. Will be upgrading to some track wheels and serious rubber soon which I think will work great as well.

 

So Rob, would you say these are the middle ground coilover between the KW V.3 (most streetable) and the SRC's (Track only kit)?

BTW, what happened to your silver car? I had no idea you had gotten another S.

 

NICE!!!
