The three existing MAX IV GT series become HIPERMAX S on 2021.
9 years have passed since the launch of MAXIVGT, and during that time we have developed new technologies.
It will be a new series that has all three conventional model’s characteristics, and been evolved by damping force characteristics, durability, and beauty. The HIPERMAX S series offers the best ride in HKS suspension history.
HIPERMAX S Technical Features
Dual PVS
We evolved the existing preload valve system to the dual preload valve system to suppress the generation of unnecessary damping force during higher piston speeds.This provides major improvement in ride comfort without influencing the driving performance.
Wide range damping force adjustment mechanism
The improved shape of the Needle jet expand the range of damping force adjustment. This makes us possible to handle driving on a wider range of stages.
Evolution of Bump stop rubber
A new shape of bump stop rubber reduces the body roll and achieves ride comfort at the same time which cannot be achieved with general hydro bump stop rubber.
Low friction technology
With advanced tribology technology, we have achieved even higher durability and lower friction than conventional products. This technology contributes to improved ride quality and handling performance.
3-year warranty
Compared to the one-year warranty period of the conventional MAX IV GT series, the HIPERMAX S Series has a three-year warranty due to optimized internal parts and quality improvement.
Recently, a lot of high performance cars feature electronic control of damping force adjustment. HKS assumed it would be best to keep stock electronic control system but add an additional flexibility and offers a height adjustable spring. HKS height adjustable springs kits are a great alternative to conventional springs. With included high adjuster it is possible to select different height suiting your car and enjoy more sporty ride.
In October 1973, two talented and spirited young engineers had a vision; to design and build high performance engines and components that major OE manufacturers could not or would not produce.
Led by Hiroyuki Hasegawa, a former engineer for Yamaha Motor Company, and his partner Mr.Kitagawa, the two secured a capital infusion from Sigma Automotive Co., Ltd. (hence the name “HKS ”), and began tuning gasoline powered engines in a dairy-farming shed at the foot of Mount Fuji in Japan.
A year later, Mr. Hasegawa designed and built the first aftermarket turbocharger for passenger cars and has never looked back.
HKS pioneered the Japanese aftermarket performance industry by delivering a host of exciting new products, including the first commercially available electronic turbo timer and boost controller. Other early products included piggy-back fuel computers and sophisticated fuel management tools. Clearly HKS was Driving Performance trends for Japanese vehicles.
Since its beginning, HKS has been committed to providing well-integrated, reliable,and environmentally sound performance systems. Mr. Hasegawa ’s strong leadership, engineering genius, creativity and willingness to listen to customers are the pillars of the company ’s success. Monitoring consumer reaction and input on issues pertaining to material quality, external appearance, sound quality, and of course, performance, HKS stays in tune with automotive enthusiasts’ needs. Moreover, HKS’ products are designed to be user friendly for easy installation.
Today the automotive aftermarket industry is filled with start-up companies following in HKS’ footsteps. None however, can match the depth of engineering or manufacturing resources available to the talented, highly motivated and dedicated employees of HKS.
For over a quarter century HKS products have been put to the test in drag racing, road racing, rallying, and top speed trials. HKS equipped vehicles have captured numerous racing championships and hold claim to a myriad of competition records using many “off the shelf”, race proven HKS components. As a result, HKS has been synonymous with “performance” in the automotive aftermarket industry for the past 35+years.
