consensus I think is the Kws are the best for everyday driving with good track performance.

the hks would be more for the track than daily driver.

Hipermax III for G

I just bought, but not yet installed, then Hipermax III specifically for the G. It doesn't have the helper springs (on the front assemblies) like the 370z kit. I wonder why? Anybody please shed some light on this?

Is the Hipermax III kit for the G more geared for track? The spring rates seem to suggest otherwise (8 kg front / 9 kg rear). Is there more to consider in coilovers for track use other than spring rates? I got the notion, from reading threads, that the higher spring rates were generally better for track vice everyday driving.

HKS are ballar JDM, but the KW's are more suited for the street...
