Anyone else running these on an IS-F?
Probably not I would imagine since I haven't seen any threads about them. Well the part number is the same for the IS-250 and 350, which tells me it should work just fine with the IS-F and is fully adjustable as well.
I just ordered a set in from HKS that we are going to install on one of our project IS'Fs while we wait for the HRE's to be built for it.
I have never been a fan of Tein's and so I will post back with some info and pics once we install them. I have always found Tein's to be noisy, rough, and and a fairly low end coil over option. However for the budget minded I spose' they are a bit cheaper.
The HKS retail at about $2295.00
Specifically designed for Luxury sports car performance.
Description straight from HKS's site:
Hipermax III CLX is the proof that luxury and performance need not be mutually exclusive. Designed for BMW, Infiniti, Lexus, Acura and other premium brand automobiles, the CLX series Hiper Linear Piston combines smooth, quiet ride characteristics with enhanced handling capability and the ability to set precise ride height for reduced pitch and roll with the shock-body-length-adjustability feature (most applications). HKS' new reinforced rubber mounts provide unsurpassed insulation from road harshness, while thick, chrome plating on the cylinder shafts and standard dust boots provide excellent durability and longevity. Tuned specifically for challenging expansion joints, uneven pavement and the frost heaves of North American roads, Hipermax III CLX is possibly the single best upgrade you can offer your luxury performance automobile.
Key Features:
• Hiper Linear Piston – Linear progression piston adjusts oil passages for precise stroke management resulting in smoother valve movements. As piston speed increases, dampening rate linearly increases.
• Strengthened rubber upper mounts – enhanced durability
• Monotube design
• Shock-body length adjustable (most applications)
• 65mm diameter springs – Cold wound and manufactured in-house at HKS to ensure quality and consistency
• Lightweight Aluminum lock nut & ride height adjuster
• 30-way adjustable dampening
• Hard chrome-plated cylinder shaft
• Non-electrolysis Nickel plated shock bodies provide durability in severe weather conditions.
• Dustboots standard
• 1 year limited warranty
No I'm not listing this just because we are an HKS PRO dealer, lol, more because it seems no one knows they are available. Which is weird, and everyone should know the options that are out there for our cars. The HKSUSA.com site does not show them listed for the IS'f but the part number is the same for the IS-250, 350, and F. Just like the Teins....
Thanks
