Suspension research to help you win
Two groundbreaking new items!!
That’s amazing!
The bottom of the shell case rotates!
Suspension setup may look modest, but it is extremely important. Everyone wants to get it dialed in for the best driving performance. Last year seemed to be the year coilovers really took off, and this year’s new products look even more impressive. The new item featured here shows how amazing engineering can be.
Adjust preload and ride height independently
This eliminates spring slack and lack of travel!
A trick inside the shock case!
Coilover kit!!
For the RX-7
Combines the roles of main and helper springs in one!
A barrel-shaped spring resists coil bind when compressed and preserves suspension travel. Its helper section is a twin-spring design.
HKS has released an innovative spring that combines the main and helper spring functions into a single unit with two rates.
Lowering a car with coilovers can reduce spring travel and cause the spring to go loose. A helper spring is usually added as a secondary spring with a spacer. The “Super Dual Racing Spring” solves this in one spring, eliminating slack and preserving travel.
