Reviews on HKS Hypermax Coilovers

Question to NEO300 but anyone with the knowledge could please share too.
When you had the G35 rims and Hipermax, did you still have camber wear on tires after alignment? Or any adjustable arms have to be installed to compensate?
Thanks.

^^^ Hi, thanks for the respond.
I asked because I have the exact same rims on mine. Different rim sets have different offsets and width. So I thought by asking with that detail would provide better information for anyone to answer my question. Also, I understand alignment has to be done when changing the height of the vehicle but I am wondering if this combo (HKS/G35) at the height from NEO300's picture would max out the allowance from factory components and aftermarket parts have to be installed to provide more adjustability. I've heard that L-tuned springs/shocks would provide just about 1" drop and no aftermarket parts needed (sorry I keep referring them as aftermarket parts, I forgot what they are called... control arm or something....). Just an alignment after that would be sufficient. Yes and thanks for the tire killer reminder, this is what I want to do right and avoid.

To answer your question, I never really could get the car aligned properly. I went to a alignment shop and tried to get it straight, but the tech said that it was cambered so much that the sensors wouldn't pick it up on the alignment machine, lol. He said all he could really do is fix the toe (which is what primarily eats tires when a car is lowered anyways), so thats all I really had done. I had minimal camber wear and thats when I used to daily drive her.
