I've thought about it but honestly don't have the courage to chop an HKS exhaust lol. I'll just go with the Hi-Power version if it ever bugs me too much.
Yep, they do have a startup sequence! Max Orido posted a video back in March.
For brightness, I would say both AlphaRex styles seem a bit dimmer vs OEM. For what it's worth, no one's ever mentioned to me that they're dim. I just happened to notice because I drove behind 2 other MKVs that had...
I've gotten a lot of questions about these tail lights so wanted to share that they're available for pre-order starting today! There are also FT1-style tail lights in case anyone's interested in those. https://alpharexusa.com/collections/toyota-supra-2020-2024
For transparency, my tail lights...
Thanks man! Really appreciate it. I have the HKS Super Turbo. I love it but would not recommend if you're looking for volume haha. Also pretty sunken in, even on OEM diffuser.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Great write up. I'm really looking forward to my first track session next year but I admit I feel a ton of anxiety about it. Like you, I don't want to damage my car and would prefer to drive with an instructor at least once.
Did you end up recording...
Hopefully they'll be available soon! Possibly in May or June. I'll share links here when I can.
Yep, friends have told me that they randomly see my tail lights play the startup animation while we're cruising to a cars and coffee. It typically only happened once per drive though - thankfully not...
I was at the reveal and able to see it in person, so can share some insight. For transparency, I have their full aero kit, so I'm obviously biased. Take what I say with a grain of salt (but I'd like to think I'm an honest person).
I can say for sure that the quality and fitment is on par with...
Yea, personally, I would recommend against doing the auto-open mod with the struts I got. The trunk lid flies open kinda violently. I don't have any evidence that shows this is bad for it long-term but it definitely makes me feel uncomfortable. Prior to installing them, I had to put a ton of...
Yep, I believe that's right. The struts don't really "activate" until a certain point. For reference, I have upgraded struts with the ADRO wing + taller uprights. They're really strong compared to OEM and more than enough for the added weight, so the trunk lid will fly open if I let it go...
I disagree. The wind buffeting is very noticeable and annoying. Maybe some people are more sensitive to it than others I guess. No one is saying the car is undrivable with the windows down. Also, to be fair, this seems a bit contradictory. If the issue isn't that bad to you, I don't imagine you...
Some photos I took during the HKS x GR Movement event this past Sunday. Got to share the showroom with a couple other HKS-focused builds and HKS USA's GR Corolla. Ryuji Oishi (who leads the HKS USA team) also signed my car! Definitely going to be one of the most memorable meets for me.
Given what I've read here and on this thread, it seems like their products and customer service are extremely inconsistent. Also agree it sounds like we should avoid them. Thanks for sharing with us.
Got my Varis fenders painted and installed. Really happy with how they turned out. No fitment issues at all. Donāt think Iāll be adding anything more until next year.
I have the HKS Super Turbo and their downpipe. I'll try to make a video sometime and share it here. I know it was extremely difficult for me to find one when I was doing research. It's definitely louder than stock but nowhere as loud as any other aftermarket setup. From what I understand, even...
Thank you! Itās about .75ā lower all around. The rear is settling a lot more than Iād like (gap is less than a finger already), so Iām probably going to raise it 15mm when I come back for alignment. Preferably, I want about 1.5 finger gap all around.
Iām not too concerned with scraping these...
