KW HLS (Hydraulic Lift System)
 

What do you guys think about this? Does anyone on here have these installed on their 370z or any car for that matter? Here is the link

KW hydraulic lift system /// KW HLS helps lowered vehicles with low ground clearance to clear obstacles

awesome, same concept used in many other kits (Roberuta for example).

I wish they'd make this mainstream. I wonder if this kit works for all KW coils.

I think that system is great. I was wondering if any other manufacturers would ever come out with a system like that.

Ugh, so much added weight :shakes head:

it says it fits 370z..wonder how much

probably ~5k USD

I doubt it works with other KW coils, my KW V3's does not have a tank on the sides of the tube. They never made this for the G37 when there was some feeler threads....

i really am interested in finding this out.

odd, i thought KW said the system was universal?

wow.. this is awesome!

add to my wish list.. :D

Whats the price tag on these?? The 911 has something similar but not so agressive.
-If it is 5K I would not bother however I am in the market for a coilover system but I am looking a kw v3's or hks hipermax lll's, if this is light weight and only like 1.5k more I will consider. But without any reviews or more info is seems gemiky.

The system MSRP is quite expensive, if not, more than the roberuta cup. The current "cheapest" solution would be the VRH system custom made by Umbrella Auto Designs. Downside is the wait time and you'd have to send them your coilovers for custom fabrication :)

And thats a negitive G-Rider. There is a reason everyone does not have these on there ride. Feture over implimentation is not always good, take Microsoft Windows for example.

Huh? How's this related to my previous post?

I agree that not everyone needs this. But the concept is pretty awesome and beneficial.

Anyone got these installed yet?

I have never seen these before. It's a great idea. I could really use them getting into my driveway.

If the price tag is ~$5k that seems a bit steep.

wow...its really awesome..what guys you think about this hydraulic lift system...we can lift any heavy machinery with this system easily

The HLS provides additional road clearance for lowered vehicles.HLS is available in two different versions: HLS 2 which is fitted to the front axle and HLS 4 which can be attached to the front and rear axle and allows lifting the entire vehicle.

Interesting link there :wtf2:

here is an idea of price: KW HLS 4 Front & Rear Conversion Lift System for KW Coilovers Porsche 997 C4 05+

Deff adding to the wish list.

$1,525.00 Coupe.
$2,295.00 Convertible.

:confused:

...??? those are prices?

i'm weirded out by this.

hence my :confused:

I would get it. 1500 ? not bad to me

is that really the price?!?!

I don't think that is the price. There is no way that there is a $5k difference between the 997 and 370z.

has anyone installed yet?

Interesting....I'm currently in the market for a set of coilover. I'll probably get these if the price is good.

Kw are good coilovers!

I'm pretty sure you can ask anyone who has them on this forum, it's pretty unanimous that we all love our KW V3's. :tup:

... although I kind of wish I had gotten the Robispec ones from the beginning.

Bump from hell.. Searched and found this thread. Anyone here running this or the Umbrella ones??

Hey Gene, I actually just ran across this tread as well in a google search trying to look a bit more into this. I have e-mailed KW for all info regarding cost and complete setup and function for this on my G, I am sure it will not be much different for the Z's. I asked them to explain their system compared to Umbrella's as well. I will update you when I have a response.

you guys should just get the roberuta cup kit, that thing is amazing...

Ive sold a few of these at my old job (Vivid) and they were up there is price, iirc you have to use the KW v3 set up with them plus the HLS. Last set I sold was in the 8k range.

^ so if KWv3's are around 2k, that puts the HLS at 6k? Was that front only or front and rear?

I emailed Umbrella a few days ago, only info I got back was they offer front only for our cars and its ~$2400

HLS is a great kit, we just had a customer get one for his GT-R and he loves it. It's not a cheap kit though...

sub'd for updates. Very interested on these.

I got some details on this.
There are 2 different set ups. One for just the front, and one for the full car.
It is only guaranteed to fit KW Brand Coil overs. It is essentially a little air system. You replace the lower spring seat with the one supplied in the HLS system. It uses a mini compressor to air up giving you 1.5 to 2 inches of lift. It then holds this height for 15-20 seconds and automatically airs it down.
I got some pricing on it, but its crazy expensive.
