The new Max IV sporty suspension. Awesome sporty drive with great control and comfortable ride in the street. It’s perfect for daily street drive with style and performance. You and your passenger can have a comfortable ride even with a low-down.
Single Tube Damper Design
Mono tube dampers allow for more accurate and stable control and adjustment of dampening. Lower ride height and centre of gravity gives a more stable ride.
Dust Boot
Protect the shaft from the flying stones.
PNE Coating
Using this special surface coating provides 5 times better durability over standard galvanising. This prevents build-up around the threads of the adjustment areas allowing for easier height adjustment.
“M Shaft”
With the new design of cylinder shaft since the HIPERMAX M-1, MAX IV increased the cylinder shaft size to have a firm damping even at a little stroke range because of the optimized oil pressure characteristic. We mainly adopted this to the rear damper that can have a better driving experience.
New Design Needle
Newly designed needle has been used to revise the very low speed and middle and high speed dampening which is key to a comfort ride.
Reduction of Unsprung Weight
In order to reduce unsprung weight, bracket, ride height adjusters and lock nuts are made from aluminium. (Not for all vehicles)
30 Step Damping Force Adjustment
30 levels of dampening adjustment allow fine tune adjustment for street or circuit.

| *1. Height from road surface to fender arch. *2. Height at factory is the data tested at HKS with the setting of Full Kit. (HKS’ recommended setting.) *3. Adjustable range (However, the lowest value may not be road legal. Even within the adjustable range, car body, arm etc. may contact. In such case, it will be hard to drive. Damper oil leakage or any other problems caused by low ride height setting from the factory setting will void the warranty of the product.) *4. Drivable range that there is no contact of car body or arms etc. (However, change of tire/wheel size may cause a problem.) Caution). Actual data depends on each vehicle. |

| Point |
| For normal daily drive, it’s ok. But if you drive fast the ride gets a little bumpy and the rear recover too fast. So if the comfort is what you want, this could be too stiff. For the steering for a corner, as roll gets deeper and deeper, the stability and grounding is not steady and even in an extreme condition where the electric control kicks in, the vehicle goes under side and unstable as it reverse. The stock is not comfortable or safe in a high speed drive. So we have developed MAX IV GT for cool low stance style and to support a vehicle’s its maximum potential performance. We have adjusted all four wheels damping force rate, allocated stroke, vehicle height balance and etc. by doing many tests. These tests result in a stable and balanced pressure for each wheel. All these setting will provide driver the best performance of the vehicle with safety. Also we have set the damping force and piston speed for good comfort. We recommend the dial-30 for most comfortable drive. |
