I probably would go for the Tein CS. I also compared the HongKong and Japan prices of the HKS and the Tein and I think that the price/performance of the Tein are much better in the US than the HKS LS.
The CS will cost approx. USD1200 in Hong Kong, while I can get the LS for less than USD1100 here.

Hey HKGS,

if it is not too much trouble, could you find out the cost of TOMS coils and HKS hypermax II, in HK?

btw, $1200 for teins CS is not bad at all

thanks

Wow! I just put down a USD500 deposit for HKS LS and the dealer told me it would take 2 months to get them from Japan. He told me that he was quoted USD1300 for the LS. Man, that's $200 more than in HK! Shoot! This sucks. I will def. have to bargain with the dealer here to get better pricing for it. It would be nice to be able to knock $100 or so from his price, eh?

You did forget the shipping cost.

But most stuff they sell in HK are in stock. People here do not like to wait.

Did I tell you that I only paid USD850 for my Apexi WS

According to spec these are very similar to the HKS LS.

By the way, I heard that there is an new version of the HKS LS, called LS+.

The reason I wanted the HKS was becuase i want the softest ride. They are like 8/8 but u cant adjust the damping. They also go lower than the CS. The cheapest I found the cs was like 1350. If anybody knows cheaper let me know. But im still leaning toward the LS i just want some first hand testing.

Get the Apexi WS if you really want coilovers with a soft ride. They are very adjustable and also very low price compared to other coilovers.

I just came back from the local HKS dealer. They now have the HKS LS+, which have the ability to adjust the softness/hardness. The springs are also a little 'harder' than the normal LS.

go to the Jpn website: www.hks-power.co.jp
The main difference is that the LS+ can be adjusted for soft/hard demping.
