Default HKS Coilovers Question

Before anyone flames me I did search and couldn't find a straight answer.

How low do these go on the tC? I had them for my xB and they got very low with a superb ride, but I've only seen two tC's with these installed, and neither looked slam.

I've decided to just get some new coilovers, because I want to be very very low like yellow and blktC.

I know they run the B&G's, so my three choices right now are the HKS, B&G, or Function and Form Type II's.

Also someone should buy my basics, I'll probably sell them for 500 plus shipping.

So does anyone know if the Type II's go as low as the B&G Rs2's?

apparently they do 4+" drops so i'm guessing it'll be really close to the b&gs. i'm going to be ordering the f&fs sometime this month or next, but i'm not sure you want to wait that long for a review.

Yup. And I don't think you'll be able to find HKS coilovers for the tC. I heard they've been discontinued for a while now.

for the function and forms you can get a custom spring rate to slam it good. just note it when you order it

Would the spring rate matter for ride height though? Or just comfortability?

^ And those pics she posted are nowhere near slammed. There's still lots of room to lower on those.

Thanks for the link, it linked to this thread:

I hope the rear goes lower than that though, rear is kinda high.

HKS actually has an outlet store on ebay. I bought a set of these back in October for 1100 bucks. Looks like they still have 6 left for the same price.

Wish I can find someone who can get a different spring rate on them though, 5kg front and 4kg rear is not enough for me. I need 7kg front and 9kg rear. If I could get them in that spring rate, I would for sure get these. Otherwise I'm going to have to shell out 2k for the JIC's.

If HKS was still making these, I'd tell you to just order a custom set, but JIC or Tein might be your only options. :\
