HKS makes some great coilovers. One of the best shocks on the market!

Ride looks great man!

Sorry for the necro bump, but I just got these and was wondering how the alignment was after the springs settled. I know the factory drop for those coilovers is about 3/4in and I am wondering if I will need toe bolts and camber arms to get back into spec.

For the stock height you don't need camber kits. But if you want to go lower like I did you will definitely need the camber kits.

HKS coilovers are awesome. I have nothing but good experiences on them.

What's the difference between the HKS 4's and the HKS 3's?

Different valving. Realistically, not a damn thing.

I rode in my friend's car with 3s and it rode really well

Spring rates are the same, I think. They may have updated adjuster pins or something but not too much different.

I have yet to have a vendor respond when I ask. Makes you wonder.

There are updates to the pins and valving. Think of it as a more refined unit.
