Thumbs up suspension suggestions

Can anybody suggest any suspension between HKS and TEIN for me. My current shock is too soft if I got 17" on her.

Thanks for your help

Depending on what type of driving you are doing, the Tein family is pretty good. Personally, I have the HKS Hipermax LS on my GS w/20's and I love them to death !!! I know two other guys on HKS suspension and they have no complaints at all. Even with the solid upper mount, they make no noise what so ever and ride super clean. If comfort is what your looking for, the LS will do you right. If you're more of the sporty type the Hipermax II's will be a good choice. I hear HKS will be producing the LS+ which is identical to the LS I currently have but is 30 way dampening adjustable. Damn I should have waited . LOL

What I really appreciate about the HKS suspension is that it already comes pre-assembled with the pillow ball upper mount (BTW most companies charge extra for the solid upper mount) so that it's a clean install. Just pull your old shocks out and throw these in. Simple as that. No assembly required. This makes quick installs a snap.

Just keep in mind that their are other suspension companies out there besides Tein.
