To be honest I haven’t driven it hard yet I still need to roll the fender lips and not sure on how stiff I want the struts and shocks yet… but from what I have driven, it is like it is teasing me… I never really had stock suspension so I can only compare it to the TRD/Waydo sportivo struts/shocks and springs that where installed from the dealer. But from what I can tell so far is that the adjustability is awesome the soft setting is much like the TRD/Waydo setup smooth and just right for daily driving. I just wish the adjustment screw was as easy to get to in the front as easy as it is in the rear. After getting the wheel lips rolled and the front inner fender panels better secured, I will find me a big parking lot and have fun with it :D :twisted: :D

I think they have been replaced with the Hipermax C series but I will check on it... I ordered mine last December and can't remember if there was a actual part # on the box

xB ey would know more about the Hipermax C series

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=14346

I just bought new pillow mounts, boot liners and dust seals from Toyota. I just think that for the amount of money HKS could of provided the pillow mounts… maybe they design it that way on purpose? Not sure?

Front wheels appear to be fine but I worry at a full turn if I was to hit something like a curb it would probably do some damage to the fender as well as the tire and rim. I am checking into maybe adding some hard stops to avoid this, mini trucks use to do this when they were lowered.

On the rear the driver side appears to be fine, but the passenger is like 1/8 of inch more metal on the lip and the edge of the tread hits it when making turns. I could easily grind it off but will wait to roll the wheel wells for a more finished look.

Cool! One of the cleanest rides I've seen. Do you got ground wires hooked up too? If so, any noticeable difference in performance?

My HKS WG coilovers are purple so I wanted to carry the theme to all the suspension parts.... I wanted to do a gold or platinum colors but the "Candy Purple" was the best looking powder coat to me at the time. I recently got the air runner system and trying to get them painted to match the rest of the suspension but two attempts have not resulted the look I am going for. So maybe one more try at the purple, if that comes out bad maybe I will re-do everything in gold or platinum

I was going to but I have found out that you can no longer get the Hipermax WG series and I only have 13k miles on these sort of a JDM collectors item and who know's maybe I will get another box and rock some 15" wheels and tires maybe even a "Lover Soul" kit

Good News got my Air Runner pieces back and they match the rest of my suspension pieces major Thanks to Cabe Toyota for the hook up!!! Check it out...
