Car: GS4
wheels: infiniti G35 OEM 18"s
Tires: F: 225/45/18 and R: 245:40/18
Suspension: HKS Hipermax LS all the way down.
Impression: It's noticeablly firmer than the floaty stock suspension. No more floatiness on the highway. Steering is A LOT more precise and responsive than stock. No noise what-so-ever thanks to the rubber mounts. Ride quality is not harsh at all. You'll have to watch out for potholes but besides that, I don't bottom out a lot. It's all the way down in the front but I only rub on that rubber thing on the lip of the fender when I hit a huge hole or crawl over a big dip. Rears perfectly clear the fenders.





right after install, before springs settled.

03 GS
JDM Espelir springs
Bilstein HD shocks
19" Work wheels
Ride is tighter since HD's are stiffer than oem and kyb's. Ride is what I'd prefer. Currently 2 fingers on all 4 corners. Hoping it settles more. If not, I'm going to be selling my setup for coilovers.

^^^ Looks great, homie! Work VS-xx's FTW. How long have they been on (time/mileage)? They should settle more if it has not been a long time.

I'd hate to break the new to you, but they wont be dropping down another inch

OEM gap is about 4-5 asian finger gaps. If the springs already dropped the car down to 2 finger gaps, it wont drop any more. Time to sell the setup
