*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.

HIPERMAX R specification
■ HIPERMAX R Special Equipment
HIPERMAX R Exclusive newly developed oil "SRF (Super Response Fluid)"
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.
HIPERMAX R Exclusive High-Strength Spring "LVS(Low Vibration Spring)"
Newly developed special spring for high-strength wire that is ideal for sports driving. Provides excellent response and smooth ride.
HIPERMAX R exclusive spring “LVS” is available separately for changing the spring rate.
⇒ HIPERMAX R Individual LVS
Spring Retainer
The retainer on top of the spring is standard equipment. This eliminates side forces and lowers friction. Stability is improved by following changes in load.
■ HIPERMAX R Core Technology
Dual PVS: Dual Preload Valve System
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.
WR Needle: Wide range damping force adjustment mechanism
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.
ADVANCED BUMP RUBBER
The advanced bump rubber newly featured for HIPERMAX S is utilized.
The shape aims for an early bump touch, gradually damping the load and suppressing abrupt changes in movement.
Single Tube System
The Mono-Tube design of the HIPERMAX series is adopted. The structure allows the gas and oil chambers to be separated, and the use of a large-diameter piston provides high quality and stable damping force characteristics.
Inverted Type Damper for Strut Type
Firm rigidity against stress has been achieved. It works to the advantage of various performances when driving, and provides excellent handling and ride comfort.
PNE Coating
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.
Pillow Upper Mount
The genuine rubber upper eliminates unnecessary movement, making more precise and sharper handling.
KODAWARI of Exterior: Chamfered Upper Mounts
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.
* KODAWARI is a Japanese term that signifies a rentless and uncompromising pursuit of perfection, often in the details of one's craft or work.
KODAWARI of Exterior: Laser Marking
The logo expresses a sense of luxury through the delicate characters created by laser marking, which cannot be expressed by pad printing.
