Default Forged Performance: HKS Hipermax III 370Z Install

Mike has been anxious to give his 370Z a capable coilover system for street and track use and also lower the car down to a pleasant level. In 20F freezing weather, Mike brought us his 370Z for the install to take place this weekend.

As we all know, the 370Z suspension is fairly soft...even moreso than the 350Z OEM suspension, and all it takes is 10 mins on a racetrack to realize the suspension (and brakes) are in dire need of improvement. Car&Driver found this out the hard way.

Like most HKS products The HKS Hipermax III's are extremly high quality and well engineered. Installation was very straightforward. For the timebeing we left the adjustments right in the middle of the range until Mike has a chance to dial them to his driving style on the track. After a couple of ride height adjustments we had everything set to Mike's request. I think the look is stunning. Because of the icy roads and inclimate weather, we didn't have a chance to give it a high performance road evaluation but I am sure Mike will chime in with his assessment.

Enjoy the pics!
