*1. Height from road surface to fender arch. *2. Height at factory is the data tested at HKS with the setting of Full Kit. (HKS' recommended setting.) *3. Adjustable range (However, the lowest value may not be road legal. Even within the adjustable range, car body, arm etc. may contact. In such case, it will be hard to drive. Damper oil leakage or any other problems caused by low ride height setting from the factory setting will void the warranty of the product.) *4. Drivable range that there is no contact of car body or arms etc. (However, change of tire/wheel size may cause a problem.) Caution). Actual data depends on each vehicle. |

Point |
HKS has developed it for a sporty drive. We have tested over and over with professional driver in TC2000 and Fuji Speedway short course for all other settings.(Tire size 1: F:245/40-17&R:255/35-18, Tire size 2: F:225/40-18&R:255/35-18) The test result of rate is 16k/16k, but with newest technology, the ride is mild and have perfect control. With smooth movement will prevent from traction slip and with the dial adjustment, you can move weight as you want to. It has a special characteristic of weight movement and better grip. We have done the setting with AD08R high grip tires. If you don’t use such a high grip tires or circuit attack, we recommend 2k down for both front and rear. |
For over 40 years, HKS products have been put to the test in drag racing, road racing, rallying, and top speed trials. HKS equipped vehicles have captured numerous racing championships and hold claim to a myriad of competition records using many “off the shelf”, race proven HKS components. As a result, HKS has been synonymous with “performance” in the automotive aftermarket industry for the past 40+ years.
