Review
I'm glad I went on an instant noodle diet to afford this suspension. Jokes aside, my car handles well now. Cornering is much sharper and I feel more in control of the car, and when turning, the car feels firmly planted to the road. Body roll is gone too.
As for the comfort, it feels excellent and much better than the stock suspension. The construction feels very solid and robust.

I have used HKS Hipermax S-compact coilovers over a year. It's a damper, height adjustable type, comes with a HKS preset load, thus, it's pretty straight forward and easy to install. I would say that it is flexible, safe, heavy duty and comfy. The whole set up is nice for both daily and track day use. It has flexible tuning setups, 30 steps up from standard (harder) and 14 steps lower (softer). It does not make any noise at all. Moreover, it is very stable when conering and conering and accelerating. What I dislike is that it didn't come with the camber top. Thus, it cannot be set to very low for the rear if you want the wheels wrapped in the fender at rear. It only allows reachable from bottom to adjust the damper for the front if you really mind to have your hand wrapped with brake dust.
What I like
Firm, safe, flexible and comfy
What I do not like
It cannot be set to very very low for the rear.
