Question Suspension on Hicas

I'm currently saving for suspension and I'm pretty set on the Apexi N-1 damper ExV suspension. I was wondering though, having the super hicas model, will the suspension install properly? Is there more work to be done? Or what, please let me know any suggestions or advice on this matter. Thanks.

your car has very limited suspension parts because its hicas.

the rear struts need to be able to turn in and out.

i think KYB,Tokico have hicas shocks.

Get Hicas blocker I have seen HICAS put R33 Skyline into a Palm Tree on a wet night. That solinoid malfunctions and juts the rear wheels hard one way and the car will lose its self and you are dun sir dun. HICAS is crap and not work the money they put into engineering it. It is very easy to take out (If you are semi-mechanically inclined)

I would have told him to take it out, and that its not really good.

But to many of the girls on here complain when i say that sort of thing.

so pretty much removing the hicas is the best bet? How can this be done properly? Is there a kit or what?

you can get a HICAS eliminator bar or you should be able to get an entire rear end without HICAS and swap it onto your car
