first off, we dont have any hks mivec cams and i dont know if they are available anywhere else but i have never heard of such a thing, the only two company's i know of that make mivec cams are gsc and cosworth. also a lot of tuners can make your car idle like stock very easily, my friends evo with hks 280's an aem ems and 880 injectors idles better than mine did stock

Sir, I think you meant to open the Valve Cover and see if the camshafts are "marked" HKS. Did it come with the MIVEC controller?

I heard that is the only way HKS sells their camshafts for the Engines with Variable Valve time, per HKS japan website
