HKS Hipermax III for G37 non sport

I have an 08 G37 non-sport and am about purchase my 1st coilover. Its a DD & im not plannning to track it.

I have pretty much decided on the HKS Hipermax III non-sport/street version. I've search the forums and seen some review and impression (not alot okf them in this forum) and was hoping for more updated or new impression/review on it.

My question are how they compare to stock (non-sport or sport g37 suspension feel) performance & comfort-wise...how durable are they??

I know most on this forum prefer KW v3 coils..but i cant get that from where im from so please no KW suggestion. I chose HKS as i don't want to skimp on price/quality and from what i gather...HKS Hipermax III are quality coils.

Since you have no plan to track your car why don't you buy Tein coils instead, could save your money and would fit for DD than HKS.

Is it that unforgiving even on softest setting?? Also..i thought only Megan,Bc Racing, D2 and some other cheap brands are made from taiwan (BC Racing being the manufactures and comparable to other premier brand)...HKS and TEIN manufatures them in-house in Japan.

I was originally Going for Tein Comfort Sport but they dont make it for G37 coupe...Tein Super Street are twin-tube design (old design) and i heard lots of issues with it making noises in the road...

Since its my 1st coils..i figured getting the monotube design(newest design) would be better..plus there is no noise issue with the Hks from the reviews ive seen...

Some reviewers states it being similar to stock feel..and perfomance wise are much better than stock or Tein comfort sport..(not sure about Tein SS) but those reviews are mostly for 370z and s2000...cant find much on G37 so far..
