Default Questions about HKS LS+ coilovers

Im thinking about getting these coilovers and was wondering if anyone have any experience with these coilovers. Any type of review or information about these coilovers would be greatly appreciated. And if you were to pick between the HKS LS+ and the TEIN CS without looking at the price, which would you rather have?

Thanks!

I got the HKS Hypermax RS 30-way adjustibles and LOVE THEM! They are the best suspention I've ever bought out of all the car I've ever owned. Heres a pic of what they look like with the front lowered all the way with 19's:



Hope this helps .

Fellow CL member jtanoyo1 had HKS LS in his GS before he got Air Runner suspension. If my memory serves me correctly, he no longer has the car. Anyhow, here is a link where he elaborates on them for a bit.

Hey Neo,

Would you elaborate more about this setup please? You mentioned it's the best one you've had - what makes it the best?

How stiff is it and have you ridden in a car with say the Tein CS system and how would the RS compare? I think the RS does not have a rubber mount system like the Tein CS or HKS LS+ and uses a standard pillow ball mount - is this correct? And any noises coming from that mount or jarring sensations due to not having the rubber to absore the bumps?

Also - do you know if the RS is pretty much the same as the LS+ but with the pillow ball mount rather than the rubber mount?

I haven't seen any reviews of this setup on the board - so any of your input would be appreciated. Thanks!
