Opinion on HKS Gymkhana suspension?
"It is designed for turning speed of front section at low speed than stability at high speed corner. The setting eases to turn with brake."
As quoted by HKS.
This is pretty much the truth with any Gymkhana setup. It's designed and built for the tight corners of a mountain road rather than the high speed corners you would see on a road course. I'm not using an HKS setup, but I am using a Gymkhana prepped Ohlins setup, and I can definately tell you that it's a tricky suspension to work with. The statement above noting that the setting eases to turn with brake is the God-given truth. If you're traveling fast enough, expect lift-throttle oversteer, and if you are traveling slower, oversteer can be provoked with some slight braking effort. Unless you have experience with autocross and road racing, or are a dedicated canyon carver, I wouldn't recommend this setup. There are much more versatile options that won't dent your wallet as bad.
