The HIPERMAX R Series has evolved all of handling, traction, and ease of fit to a new series by concentrating the technological capabilities cultivated over the past 9 years since the launch of MAX IV SP. The HIPERMAX R Series has achieved overwhelming performance that is unrivaled by any other brand. Special high-viscosity oil that is resistant to heat sagging has been developed. Damping starts up from a very low speed range, resulting in reliable handling, great damping and high stability. Newly developed special spring for high-strength wire that is ideal for sports driving. Provides excellent response and smooth ride. Retainer on top of spring is standard equipment. This eliminates side forces and lowers friction. Stability is improved by following changes in load. The improved shape of the needle expands the oil relief channel. Each step of the 30 steps adjustment is now more prominent. Having softer adjustment options gives more options for street driving. Features the Dual Preload Valve System originally designed for the HIPERMAX S. By carefully selecting valve shims for each vehicle model, the settings are tailored to the vehicle to provide direct handling and reliable stability.
Firm rigidity against stress has been achieved. It works to the advantage of various performances when driving, and provides excellent handling and ride comfort. Prevents sticking due to rust, which is the bottleneck of full-length adjustable dampers. Also, the smooth surface reduces the force required for vehicle height adjustment. The genuine rubber upper eliminates unnecessary movement, making more precise and sharper handling. The aluminum upper mount has been chamfered by machining to evolve the beauty of the product. The machining process was increased to improve the feel and appearance of the product.
*1. Height from road surface to fender arch.
*2. Height at factory is the data tested at HKS with the setting of Full Kit. (HKS' recommended setting.)
*3. Adjustable range (However, the lowest value may not be road legal.
Even within the adjustable range, car body, arm etc. may contact. In such case, it will be hard to drive.
Damper oil leakage or any other problems caused by low ride height setting from the factory setting will void the warranty of the product.)
*4. Drivable range that there is no contact of car body or arms etc. (However, change of tire/wheel size may cause a problem.)
Caution). Actual data depends on each vehicle.
