HKS HKSTUDIE SUSPENSION with CANCELLER for G80/G82

For 2WD/4WD models.

HKSTUDIE is a collaboration product between HKS and Studie AG.

Balancing high speed stability and comfort for city driving

The G8X generation M has electrically adjustable dampers as stock, and while they provide the stability typical characteristics of the M series at high speeds, they still are a bit stiff in daily driving, even in “COMFORT” mode. The HKSTUDIE SUSPENSION was developed based on the concept of “Balancing high speed stability and comfort for city driving”.

High rigidity inverted dampers are used

The mono-tube dampers are equipped, which enables the use of a large-diameter piston and provides high-quality and stable damping force. In addition, high rigidity inverted dampers are used for the front suspension, as the strut type suspension system is subject to heavy bending loads during acceleration, deceleration and cornering. This leads to excellent handling.

Fully-threaded shock body

Fully-threaded shock body is adopted for both front and rear, allowing adjustment to the desired ride height without affecting ride comfort by changing the amount of damper retraction stroke or spring pre-load. Wheel gap between the front tire and fender is noticeably big with the stock ride height, so we set the front end slightly lower relative to the rear to obtain a more stylish appearance and improve high-speed driving stability.

The 30-level damping force adjustment

The 30-level damping force adjustment allows the driver to set the preferred damping force to suit various driving conditions, from city driving to the race track. You will experience the evolved “The Ultimate Driving Machine” by having balanced performance of smooth ride on the street and a steady driving feel at high speed, perfect for the M series.

Features the camber-adjustable top hat

The front unit features the camber-adjustable spherical-bearing top hats for sharp handling. CNC machined aluminum top hats are adopted for the rear unit.

Suspension Error Canceller

“Suspension Error Canceller” is included in the kit to delete the error light upon removal of the electrically adjustable damper.

3-year/60,000 km product warranty

Spring Rate F=7kg R=14kg

It looks like an excellent coilover kit for street duty with improvements in handling and stability without sacrificing comfort.

No, it's not likely here in the States. These just landed the other day.

HKS and Studie are both very well-known brands worldwide. Their collaboration wouldn't disappoint.

I’d be willing to test this. I know it just came out but interested to compare these to my kw v3 also.

I bet these are great, but I also bet they are $$$ knowing Studie

[peterfromsd]

MSRP is $3500 on HKS site. I’d be interested in these as well.

Your PM replied with a ship to your door promotional pricing!

I see these popping up in my ads but haven't seen any feedback yet. Feel free to DM me pricing also... actually looking for a drag setup

Also curious what this promo pricing looks like

I’m very interested in testing these out,


Looking to replace AST springs.

Been shopping for the right coilover option. Also, work at a performance shop, so could video and photograph install.

Anyone tried? I love HKS and Studie, watched all the videos. Doesn't that HKStudie exhaust just sound purrfect!

I just installed this set last week on my g87 M2!

The kit is very nice and all high quality, my understanding is that is the HKS Hipermax S that’s been tuned for the g8x chassis by Studie AG.

Best way to explain is that the ride feels like sport edc dampening but more comfortable. It’s very planted and stable.

This set comes with camber plates and edc cancel so it’s good value for a st comfort oriented coilover compared to v3 or ohlin where you pay an additional 1.5k for those

Looking at their website it's a linear piston but they say "dual preload" which can give you a digressive curve. Digression is usually achieved via free bleed, my guess is they preload and then rely on the bleed adjuster for their 30 clicks of adjustment.

The F vs V graph they have shows damper curve shape with no measurements and only the rebound side. Not knowing what adjustment position is being shown, there is no way to say exactly how these will feel.

Spring rates are 394lbs front and 782 lbs rear

Their bump rubber is softer and more progressive, which is a good thing.

These appear to have a lot of potential as a very good street coilover and probably a fair entry/intermediate skill track coilover.

interested in these and also their exhaust

[UsualSuspect]

I'm interested in these coilovers. Hopefully a PM with that special pricing too.

Just got these installed on my G 82 x-drive.

I had my performance shop Install them and set them to the manuals recommended Setting for dampening & compression — but they felt so comfortable. I had them tighten up the rebound setting even more

Overall, still figuring them out, but love the look and fee.
