Question Anbody seen the oodles of HKS Hypermax coilovers on *Bay?

??
There are quite a few sets of coilovers on there..
All going strangley cheap.

Is it due to these being sh*t?

Or just too fierce for day to day drivng on pants UK roads?
THE COILOVERS HAVE COVERED 5000 MILES AND IS IN AS NEW CONDITION WITH NO OIL LEAKS AND NEVER BEEN ON ANY HUMPS.

THEY ARE 12 STEPS HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE AND ALSO DAMPER ADJUSTABLE.

SPRING RATES ARE; FRONT 7K, REAR 5K.

Is 7k and 5k in grams? I dont understand the rating.. can someone explain please?

Just thought- they look too good to be true.. so maybe that really is the case?

I bought a set of Hypermax HKS Coilovers once!!! After my internal organs were practically scrambled I took them off the car and got rid off them!! Far too hard for UK roads unless you have a masochistic streak!!!

The car was horrible to drive - bouncing around on the slightest bumps!!! No compliance other than from the tyres!!!

Bob Rawle had to abandon an attampt to map the car as even on the softest setting we were bouncing around so much he couldn't use his laptop!!

I am sure they would be fine for track use - but not on UK roads!!!

That's my opinion anyway!!!

7k and 5k are what the Japannese measure their springs ie kilograms, my Tein springs were calibrated like this, bit of a pain to convert value to Lbs for comparison.
