Hey guys, as per topic, I was curious to know whether my HKS Hipoermax coilovers could be fixed. Both fronts ones I have had on for a short period of time is now starting to leak. Could someone please point me in the right direction.

Thanks
Joe

i would think you should be able to get the coilover reconditioned, as i know alot of the other brands like tein and cusco can be reconditions its just a matter of finding a suspension place that will do it

There appear to be rebuild kits available judging by the photos on the HKS Japan website. Just need to find a supplier and a suspension shop willing to do the work for you.

Tony from HKS has just replied. Unfortunately the only place he knows that would service them is in Japan.

Damn this sucks!

Joe, give the guys at www.shockreco.com.au a call. Manny, Rob Hayden and many others have had their TEINs revalved to their specifications there for prices which sounded reasonable. Certainly beats the hell out of sending the coilovers to Japan, right ?
