HKS Suspension Question

[bokchoy]

Hello everyone,

Ive been torn between HKS adjustable touring spring or just go all in and get the HKS HiperMax . I dont track my car but I do like driving on windy roads fast. Anyone on the forum went from HKS springs to their coilover?
Do you guys feel like its worth getting coilover vs springs, can you feel the difference driving? Ive heard some folks saying the springs make your ride stiff.
Thanks for your input!

Never tried their springs but their coil overs are very nice. Car handles very well even on the normal ride setting.

I have the springs, the stock dampers perform so well that they're hard to beat.

I track my car and even the suspension engineer for Ariel complimented my suspension setup

you can add a couple damper settings through BimmerCode if I'm not mistaken

I'd get the coilovers.

A lot of my track oriented customers say the springs are too soft.

I love my adjustable springs until its time to adjust. It's almost like everything has to come out to adjust (rears). If you want to simply set and forget these are a good setup.

? you have to adjust them?? I figured it’s a set and forget thing unless I want my car a different height.. ooof
I’m new to all this car modding. I ended up purchasing the hks springs
Also do you live in Atlanta?! Where at exactly? I’m over near Duluth

That's correct, you only need to adjust them if you want to change the height.

Tucker here! You'll like the springs for sure! I try to catch caffeine and octane any chance I get. Nice Supra showing most of the time.

We have a small Supra Sundays chat on instagram for planning meetups. Pretty chill and no drama. LMK if you're interested.

I don't really track my car much it's for street build. Would it perform as good? Plus I daily it as well, so it good to daily with those springs?

Yes the HKS adjustable springs are fine for a daily

I track, daily, and road trip on them. They're perfect
