Built on HKS's monotube damper platform with an inverted front strut design, Flat Ride Concept (FRC) tuning, and Dual Preload Valve System (Dual PVS), this kit is engineered to extract genuine performance from the CT9A's AWD platform while remaining composed and livable on daily road surfaces. Front spring rates of 78 N\/mm and rear rates of 59 N\/mm are set to manage the CT9A's AWD dynamics without introducing harshness, and a 19.8 N\/mm rear helper spring maintains damper contact through the full travel range. The inverted front damper layout reduces unsprung weight and improves cornering rigidity, delivering steering feedback closer to a purpose-built performance car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Ride height at shipment is set to -34 mm front and -16 mm rear from factory height, with a front adjustment range of -8 mm to -59 mm and rear range of -5 mm to -71 mm. The 30-step WR Needle damping adjustment allows fine-tuning from a single dial without disassembly. Note that this listing is for the standard rubber front upper mount configuration - buyers seeking sharper front steering response should consider the front pillow ball variant, 80330-AM002P. This kit supersedes part number 80300-AM002, ships via UPS or FedEx only, and is backed by HKS's 3-year \/ 60,000 km manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cmeta name=\"description\" content=\"Enhance performance with the HKS 80330-AM002 Hipermax S Coilover Kit for Mitsubishi Lancer EVO VII-IX.
