This setting allows the driver to control Civic R easily by changing its movement at their will. Although the FK8 Civic R has a basic understeer movement, we have made settings that allow the driver to change direction as much as possible, so that the driver can feel comfortable under tracking. Since the FK8 makes it easier to change the direction of the car by actively shifting the load, increasing the front spring rate will bring out stronger understeer movement. The newly adopted oil makes a large range of dial adjustment, allowing the users to set the movement they like. Even though this kit has such sport driving performance, we also pursuit the comfort which is as good as high-performance shock absorber in city driving. With just a dial adjustment, this kit can perform as urban cruiser. For those who install size 295 in the front or A052 or higher high-grip tires, a spring rate increase from 2 kg to 4 kg in the front and 2 kg in the rear is recommended. With stock tire wheels installed, if the front is lower than 42mm, the tires and suspension will interfere around the maximum steering angle. Please note that this will vary depending on the rim width and offset of the wheel. (The error that appears when the stock suspension is removed can be avoided by installing an optional canceller.) ※We will be on sale. ■ HIPERMAX R Special Equipment HIPERMAX R Exclusive newly developed oil “SRF (Super Response Fluid)” Special high-viscosity oil that is resistant to heat sagging has been developed. Damping starts up from a very low speed range, resulting in reliable handling, great damping and high stability. HIPERMAX R Exclusive High-Strength Spring “LVS(Low Vibration Spring)” Newly developed special spring for high-strength wire that is ideal for sports driving. Provides excellent response and smooth ride. Spring Retainer Retainer on top of spring is standard equipment. This eliminates side forces and lowers friction. Stability is improved by following changes in load. ■ HIPERMAX R Core Technology Dual PVS: Dual Preload Valve System Features the Dual Preload Valve System originally designed for the HIPERMAX S. By carefully selecting valve shims for each vehicle model, the settings are tailored to the vehicle to provide direct handling and reliable stability. WR Needle: Wide range damping force adjustment mechanism The improved shape of the needle expands the oil relief channel. Each step of the 30 steps adjustment is now more prominent. Having softer adjustment options gives more options for street driving. ADVANCED BUMP RUBBER The advanced bump rubber newly featured for HIPERMAX S is utilized. The shape aims for an early bump touch, gradually damping the load and suppressing abrupt changes in movement. Single Tube System The Mono-Tube design of the HIPERMAX series is adopted. The structure allows the gas and oil chambers to be separated, and the use of a large-diameter piston provides high quality and stable damping force characteristics. Inverted Type Damper for Strut Type Firm rigidity against stress has been achieved. It works to the advantage of various performances when driving, and provides excellent handling and ride comfort. PNE Coating Prevents sticking due to rust, which is the bottleneck of full-length adjustable dampers. Also, the smooth surface reduces the force required for vehicle height adjustment. Pillow Upper Mount The genuine rubber upper eliminates unnecessary movement, making more precise and sharper handling. “KODAWARI” of Exterior: Chamfered Upper Mounts The aluminum upper mount has been chamfered by machining to evolve the beauty of the product. The machining process was increased to improve the feel and appearance of the product. “KODAWARI” of Exterior: Laser Marking The logo expresses a sense of luxury through the delicate characters created by laser marking, which cannot be expressed by pad printing.
