HKS sucks, for a much money you pay for to get a new one ($1800-2000), there are better options out there. Also, they dont have the most reliable shocks out there, prone to blow out sooner than other brands out there. Talking about their street coilovers.

Now their drag coilovers on the other hand are good. Then again, they are one of the few companies out there that actually make soft, drag coilovers in the market.

I have the D' and I like them. Bought it new like 2 1/2-3 years ago and they are still good. Im considering trying out the new D' NOB Spec just to see how they are.

Not related to an S-chassis but there was a magazine that tested the Hipermax III's on a 08 STI and got 3-5 second faster lap time with the coilovers straight out the box. No adjustments whatsoever. They were doing a comparison between other manufacturer's.

On a plus side, they do rebuilds in house in the US. I know others do but not all.
