Need advise from suspension gurus.
Hey guys I have a 95 sc300 and im currently lowered on hks hyper max 3 but an issue occurred a few months ago when I realized the left rear side was lower. After racking the car I realized that the spring had given out and was starting to sag.
these coilovers were on the car when I bought it at 145000 and the car is at 181000 as of yesterday.
so my question is, should I keep the setup and just change the springs? I called hks and they told me they do not sell just the springs. with the unknown fact or how many miles the previous owner put on the coils what do you guys recommend.
if you think I could get away with just Springs, which ones will fit the current shocks?
or should I get new ones all together?
if anyone has any thoughts it will be greatly appreciated.

You can use any aftermarket coilover race spring on your hyper maxs. Measure the length, width, and inside diameter. But be careful with spring rates used, because your hypermaxs can blow if you go with higher spring rates.
Why can't you just adjust the coilover nut, to raise that sagging side up??

I would get a pair of swift racing springs. Just measure the old springs and order accordingly.
Are you sure the coilover isn't blown? I consider 36,000 miles on any coilover a lot already since most of the time people ride slammed. From what I can remember the hyper max 3 can only be service by HKS Japan (if they still support it).
