    Hi All

    just a quick question.

    I'm buying and Evo 5 next week. The car has a couple of mods

    HKS Coilovers
    HKS Induction Kit
    Full HKS Exhaust

    As far as MODS go, how good are HKS?
    would they be like a TOP level MOD or just a cheapo?

    just want to no when I'm negotiating the price.

    Cheers
    G.

    pretty near the top and pretty expensive, definately not "cheapo" items

    Depends, different companies have better things for different cars and it all depends on what kind of a setup you want, for example tein suspension is very well know and probably the best but it can be rougher than hks or vice versa so some people may prefer hks over tein.

    Hks Seems very popular with Evo's

    Couldn't agree more. A prime example is coil overs. If you want a track set-up there perfect but may be totally un-suitable for a daily driver. I lost count of the amount of times i head planted the roof with with those small speed bumps. It also wound up traffic behind me.

    My advice to you is talk to an owners club and find out what works rather than going out and buying HKS everything and finding your car is too hard to get the power down because your getting the stuffing shaken out of you.

    By now the owners club will be able to tell you what works and what doesn't for your budget. You'll often find that you can get better results with carefully chosen stuff that has been proven.
