HKS HIPERMAX S HONDA CIVIC TYPE R FL5 2022 On - Coilover Suspension
Driving Comfort - Suspension Error Canceler Inc.
HIPERMAX S, which has evolved damping force characteristics, durability, and aesthetics, offers the best "Driving Comfort" in the history of HKS suspension.
- We have developed a kit for FL5 that combines the popular HIPERMAX S series with a front pillow upper. It allows for camber adjustment. By increasing the tire size and camber angle, you can prevent understeer and enjoy a powerful exterior.
- New technologies such as Dual PVS, Wide Range Needle, and Advanced Bump Rubber provide the best driving performance ever.
- Combined with the direct handling provided by the pillow upper mount, please enjoy the high-dimensional ride quality that HKS has pursued and it is not only fun and comfortable. We pursue driving performance that lives up to the name TYPE-R, which is flexible yet runs well.
With Suspension Error Canceler
- Single Tube Damper Design
- The new HIPERMAX S series continue to employing the single tube structure.
The advantage of this structure is to be able to provide the gas and oil chamber separately, and then it allows to use of a large diameter piston. As a result, a quality and stable damping force is gained. - Inverted Shock Absorber (Strut)
- ・Large lateral forces are spread over a larger area increasing rigidity under high loads or with larger wheels
・Damper is attached to body side reducing un-sprung weight for improved handling - Dual PVS
- The Pre-load Valve System, introduced in the previous MAX IV GT 20 Spec,S-Style L,S-Style C, created a remarkable difference to handling performance. This has been further refined to introduce “Dual PVS”.
High speed damping is reduced while keeping unnecessary movement to a minimum. - WR Needle： Wide range damping force adjustment mechanism
- The improved shape of the needle expands the oil relief channel. Each step of the 30 step adjustment is now more prominent. Having softer adjustment options gives more options for street driving.
- ADVANCED BUMP RUBBER（Evolution of Bump stop rubber)
- For HIPERMAX S, a further improved “ADVANCED BUMP RUBBER” was developed which pursues further softness and also shorter variations deliver a wide range of options for a variety of cars delivers a natural and smooth experience
- PNE Coating
- HKS previously introduced SNOW EDITION versions to combat corrosion head on. The result of this development was PNE coating delivering 5x better durability compared to standard galvanizing
- Strengthened Rubber Upper Mount
- Strengthened rubber upper mount is able to absorb small body vibrations whilst tightening up the mount over stock. Revised cross sectional design and material composition balance comfort and performance
- "KODAWARI" of Exterior
- The aluminum top mount is chamfered by machining to enhance the beauty of the product.Delivering detail and quality which was not previously available through previous printing methods
- Peace of mind with 3 years warranty
- The internal structure of the HIPERMAX IV GT series has been reviewed in HIPERMAX S to deliver a 3 year warranty over the existing 1yr.
Extensive in house durability testing and development has resulted in improved correlation between test bench and real road data and in-house manufacturing allows for quality control of all components which provides the necessary evidence to deliver the 3yr warranty with confidence.

*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.
