well the HKS has a part to adjust the back springs like its a coil over i dont see why I'd have to remove the rear perch, and even so its not like its done that often.Do your prefer adjusting height without taking out the rear perch? MSS is for you.
The HKS rear perch needs to be removed for adjustment for a few reasons. One, the threaded body (silver part) doesn't have any notches to hold onto so when you try to adjust the purple perch, the body spins with the purple not allowing you to thread up or down. Two, there's a lot of friction between the spring and the perch, so it would chew up that mating surface pretty badly if you did spin it. It's actually not too bad to just remove and adjust.well the HKS has a part to adjust the back springs like its a coil over i dont see why I'd have to remove the rear perch, and even so its not like its done that often.
I'm more interested in how they feel to drive with.
Helpful info! So you would say the MSS are stiffer than the HKS? Which has better ride comfort/handles bumps and potholes better?I was able to get the MSS springs on my car a couple of days ago and I am very impressed with them. The car feels very controlled. Itās very obvious that a lot of time was put into designing these to work with the car both when being installed as well as while driving.
Brake dive is considerably reduced, as is body roll. Iāll need sway bars to get rid of the rest but the springs did an excellent job on their own. Whatās really impressive to me is how the car feels now when rotating or recovering from a slide. The car rotates so much better, it doesnāt feel like a delicate balancing act anymore and when recovering from a slide it feels so much more planted. Itās not fishtailing anymore which is awesome. I let my mechanic give them a try as heās shipping for springs and was disappointed in how soft the HKS ones were. He said he hates me because now he has to get these for his car.
Car does feel stiffer but itās nothing I canāt live with. Iād say that now, normal mode feels a little stiffer than sport did when stock, while in sport is obviously stiffer. They did pass the girlfriend test though. Iām currently running them at 4mm front and 8mm on the rear. Iāll likely raise both ends a little as the springs settle. I highly recommend these springs.
I havenāt tried the HKS kit but from what my mechanic has said MSS is definitely more performance oriented and this translates into it being stiffer. I still find it to be pretty comfortable in normal mode though.Helpful info! So you would say the MSS are stiffer than the HKS? Which has better ride comfort/handles bumps and potholes better?
They did but I didnāt know if it was even. Youāll probably have to adjust them in order to even them out after the install before you drop the car anyway.Do the MSS come with a drop out of the box? I know the HKS came with a 1 inch drop pre-set.
Haha same color as my car. But thank you for the info it was super helpful, car looks amazing and im sure it handles alot better too.I was able to get the MSS springs on my car a couple of days ago and I am very impressed with them.
