With improved damping characteristics, durability, and aesthetics, HIPERMAX S offers the best driving comfort in the history of HKS suspension.
- We have developed a kit for the FL5 that combines the popular HIPERMAX S series with a front pillow upper to allow for camber adjustment . By increasing the tire size and camber angle, you can combat understeer and enjoy a more dynamic exterior.
- New technologies such as Dual PVS, wide range needle, and advanced bumper rubber provide the best driving feel ever.
- Combined with the direct handling provided by the pillow upper mounts , this high-level ride quality is not just fun or comfortable, but something that HKS has pursued. It is supple yet precise, and we have pursued driving performance that lives up to the TYPE-R name.
With SEC (Suspension Error Canceller)

*1. Height from the road surface to the fender arch.
*2. The vehicle height at the time of shipment is a reference measurement data based on the combination of the full kit settings made by HKS in-house. (This is our recommended vehicle height.)
*3. Adjustable range (However, please note that driving at the lower limit in this case will not comply with safety standards.
Also, even if it is within this adjustment range, depending on the vehicle height, interference with the body, arms, etc. may occur, which may cause problems with driving. Please note
that defects such as damper oil leakage caused by using the vehicle height at an extreme lowering from the vehicle height at the time of shipment are not covered by the warranty.)
*4. The range in which it is possible to drive without interference with the body, arms, etc. (However, this may not be the case depending on changes to tire and wheel sizes, etc.)
Note) Data may vary depending on individual vehicle differences and assembly conditions.

[Other features]
The latest mechanisms such as the “dual preload valve system” and “wide range needle” are adopted.
The HKS logo on the upper is laser marked, and spring insulators are standard equipment, so there is no need to worry about abnormal noise.
3-year/60,000km long-term warranty.
Dual PVS
The preload valve system has been further improved to adopt a dual preload valve,
which cuts the damping force in the high speed range and suppresses unnecessary movement.
3-year/60,000km high durability specification
Advanced tribology has achieved high durability and low friction, improving ride comfort and handling.
Error canceller included
Error messages that occur when removing the factory electronically controlled suspension can be avoided with the canceller included in the kit . Enjoy the unique ride quality of a height adjustable suspension.
■ Points
The FL5 Civic R is equipped with a highly-completed electronically controlled shock absorber, but the height of the vehicle and the clearance between the fender and the tire are of concern.
At HKS, we have repeatedly tested at every stage, aiming to achieve both comfort and sports driving performance while retaining the good qualities of the original.
By actively utilizing the detailed damper settings and advanced bumper rubbers that we have researched for many years, we have achieved an exquisite ride that is firm but not hard.
The steering balance is as the driver desires, making the car feel one size smaller.
In addition, the ride quality is something that cannot be achieved by simply increasing the spring rate, and it also has a texture that you would not expect from a height-adjustable suspension.
By installing helper springs at the front and rear, we have ensured sufficient rebound stroke required for street use.
For owners who are upgrading their tires from the original tires and wheels, we have installed pillow upper mounts as standard.
*If the front winding is less than 46 mm with the original tires and wheels, the tires and suspension will interfere with each other near the steering lock. Please note that this will also change depending on the rim width and offset of the wheels.
