    the pic you have is of a newer kit I think it is a Hypermax RS it's for newer applications such as rsx's and some of the newer SI's but, yes you are correct that model you have is considered a coilover. Mine looks similer but is not a coilover set up. It actually has a allen key tightner at the top that compreses and tenses whatever spring application you dicide to go with. I got mine about 3 years ago and they are currently disscontinued for my vehicle, but other companies still make the same application for my vehicle.

    I'm assuming you like your HKS dampers... so what if HKS decided to make coilovers (using the same interior mechanisms and the same valving) based on your old dampers, the only difference being threaded shock bodies? Would you be so quickly to disregard them? Like I said before you can purchase a variety of springs, so if you think the springs that come with the kit are too stiff, you can always get softer ones, say, you got some custom Eibach springs in dimensions to fit your dampers in the same rate as your Neuspeed springs... so now you have a coilover set up, with height/preload adjustability that performs like you wanted. So perhaps they're not ALL that bad right?
