How To: 2008 STi HKS Hipermax III Sport Coilover Install
After running a full season last year on some Cusco Zero2-E coilovers, we decided to upgrade them for a competition set. The Cuscos where great on the street and for daily driving, but fell short out at the track with full race tires.
HKS Hipermax III Sport: These are HKS top of the line off the shelf competition coilovers that are inverted moto tube design in the front, and moto tube in the rear. Offering 30 ways of dampening adjustment in the front and rear, with pillow ball top hats that are camber adjustable in the front. Independent ride height from pre load adjustment, along with helper springs. They come with the following spring rates: Front 12KG/MM, Rear 10KG/MM. They are a pre assemebled from HKS, ready to be put into the car. However you still want to double check to make sure that all the hardware and purges are tight before putting them on the car. Front Install You need the Following: 19MM Socket (6 point) 19MM Open end Wrench 12MM Open End Wrench 14MM Deep Socket 14Mm Open End Wrench 17MM 6 point Socket 17MM Open end wrench Braker Bar Torque Wrench. Jack Stands Jack Friend (if his name is Jack, then you have 2 Jacks) WD-40 or other Penetrate. And misc. extensions FRONT: 1) Jack up the front suspension, and then lower it back on jacks and make sure the car is secure. 2) Remove the Front 2 rims 3) Spray penetrate on the lower suspension hardware 4) Remove the 2 lower bolts from the OEM strut that attach it to the Hub. 5) Remove the bolt that hold the brake like to the OEM strut.Along with taking off the bolt that holds the ABS sensor wire. 6) There now should be nothing attached to the lower strut and it should be hanging free. Then proceed to remove the 3 top hat bolts and remove the strut from the car. 7) Get your new HKS Hipermax III Sport Coilover 8) Put the top hat bolts into the chassis so that the camber adjustment is facing toward the center of the car. And tighten them to OEM Spec. 9) Insert the lower 2 strut bolts into the hub and tighten them to OEM spec. 10) Insert the bolt that holds the ABS wire to the strut.
