HKS Japan Releases Limited-Time Hipermax S Suspension Kit for Hyundai Ioniq 5
Since 1973, Japanese tuning company HKS has been supplying high-performance aftermarket parts for cars, including aero parts, enhanced cooling systems, engine and turbocharger upgrades, and suspension kits. After revealing a prototype last year, HKS Japan is now offering a Hipermax S drop kit for the Hyundai Ioniq 5 that promises to enhance agility without compromising on comfort. The only problem is you'll have to import it, because it's not available from HKS USA.
As you can see, the Ioniq 5 sits lower to the ground with the Hipermax S kit installed, eliminating that gap between the tire and the wheel arch. It hunkers down, hugging the road, and exhibits a far more aggressive and dynamic stance than what the reduction in ride height suggests. And how much is this reduction? The front is lowered by 1.18 inches and the rear by 1.5 inches. In common with other Hipermax S installations, it sports Dual PVS - HKS's dual preload valve system.
Dual PVS reduces damping force during high piston speeds, improving ride comfort over sharp bumps without sacrificing the advantages of the lower ride height. A unique needle jet allows a wide range of damping-force adjustment, catering for many types of road surfaces, and the reformulated rubber for the bump stops achieves bump-through comfort that cannot be achieved with regular hydro bump-stop rubber.
The caveat is that this offer is only temporary - until August 29, 2025 - and it's exclusively available through HKS Japan, as it's not offered locally by HKS USA. The pricing of 382,800 yen translates to about $2,672 at current exchange rates, and that's before shipping and taxes. Seeing that you'll have to order it from Japan, it's fair to say you'll likely have the only Ioniq 5 with a bit of stance on your block.
