it SEEMS 2 b fairly straight forward and easy but if it really was alot more people would do this instead of replacing/buying new ones. maybe its not cost efficient to do it, i have HAD my motorcycle's ohlin rear spring re-valved but i wouldnt attempt to do it. maybe if i watched a few i would be ok but thats not something i would attempt to do and expect for it to be safe for me 2 ride on

anybody know a shop that could overhaul a set of HKS Hipermax LS?? I'm looking at the Japanese HKS site that shows the step by step process and pricelist. I am trying to contact HKS USA but with no response via email or phone. Does anyone knows who to contact in the States?

Contact Dusty over at MVP motorsports. He has a direct contact to HKS USA since he's the only one that I know of that HKS USA gave the spec for the HKS Drag coilover for the MKIV supra when they decide to discontinued that coilover setup.
