WOW is all i can say, im just so impressed by these, they have the ride quality of stock while still having such a sporty suspension (riding in a cloud while having the agility of a sports car!!)

anyone else have these?>

I have HKS Hypermax RS in mine, set to softest setting, with 255/35, 275/30/19... Then I rode in a Legacy Spec B, mine's softer, more comfortable, and best of all, much lower.

Have any of you guys tried KWs. I have them on my Z and will probably buy them for the GS when I get it. They are the best ones I've ridden in on a Z. But I might be a little biased towards them.

Edit: Damn, nevermind. I just went looking for them and they only have them for the IS.

I had the Hypermax RS's and LOVED them! The ONLY reason I got rid of them is because I went with UAS's air setup. Don't think twice about any other coilover get the HKS's, you wont regret it!

wow thanks for all the replies guys!!!

okay so I crossed out the Flex, which leaves me with HKS and Stance.... im better off throwing in 5-600 more for the HKS for the cloud ride right? Whats/Hows the lowest settings you can go on getting HKS lowered? Also is there a website where its sold for a nice decent price.
