HKS vs HSD Coilovers

[dil]

I have a set of HKS Hipermax Performer coilovers which I had in my s15 for about 3 months, I found them great with no problems.

I now bought an s14a which has HSD coilovers in them, I have only driven on them for 2 days and also seem to be fine.

Just wondering which coilover would be better as I will be selling one set so want to know what people with the experience would recommend me to keep??

Thanks

it depends what you want from them. ive a good set of the same hks ones and ive xyz coil overs too. their made in the same factory as the hsd i think..

i found my hks ones very hard i couldnt find the right setting for comfort.
but i felt the car can handle much better, the only reason ive changed them is that the xyz ones go much lower.

since fitting the new ones i have them at the standard setting. its much more comforable but i think the car doesnt feel as planted with the hks ones.
but im sure if i firm them up it could feel more planted.

do you use the car every day? use it on track much?
if i was using the car on track alot id defo keep the hks ones. but i drive my s14 every day an the missus lives down some shitty roads so im rattled less!

in saying that im keeping the hks ones also!
hope this helps

Depends which ones you have, the HKS would be much better for drifting I would say

[PeterT]

What model hsd's? I keep them, parts and servicing from driftworks If needed and a very good coilover!

AFAIK there the HKS coilovers you got off us, they were almost new and at least treble or quadruple the price of HSD's id keep them for what you bought them for thats for sure

I use this car everyday, as for what i use them for I want the car to be as stiff and solid as possible, the comfort factor doesn't bother me at all! So hks would be better for my needs?

@PeterT I don't know what model they are yet must have a look at them, I looked on dw and there is only 1 set available for s14/15 as far as I can see.

@Stevo yup their the hks ones I got off ye alright, they are in serious condition and ya i see their way more expensive than the hsd ones ha was thinking of keeping them for that reason alone!

[bart]

sell the HKS they shit

i'll buy them back off you.......

[PeterT]

Actualy I retract my statement, if you're happy with both and the hks are worth loads to Jdm tyteists I'd sell em for nice cash money's and buy sluts

[dil]

deciding to keep the hks ones so must rip out the hsd's and make some €€€ for a new 2 way



.....or else pay my bills
