HKS suspension (very tough ride)

Tell me about your HKS suspension - is it the Hipermax adjustables? I have been in a Soarer with these they are ultra stiff...

I got a silver 1994 R32 GTR, its got ..

Tein type flex coil overs

... and the type flex? too stiff, not stiff enough, or just right? :cheers:

The suspension in the car are HKS Hypermax Damper II adjustables. Got it with the car and is way too stiff. When driving it feels like your sitting on a plank of wood. Drifting in the car is really, really easy due to its stiffness and rear wheel drive characteristics. I'am in the process of getting the suspension set for drag racing so hopefully some of the harshness will go away.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
