Yonaka Motorsports is proud to introduce our all new SPEC II (TC2) coilover set for the 2000-2009 Honda S2000 with 28 way fully adjustable dampening, Designed with the advanced street driver or track day in mind, the Spec II TC2 is specifically engineered to accommodate even the most intense driving styles.Featuring:
  • 28 Level Fully Adjustable Dampening
  • All Aluminum Upper Mounts
  • 0-4" Height adjustment
  • Fully threaded dual tube advanced shock absorber
  • Inner bump stop to prevent damage cause by rapid compression impacts
  • Wide range of height adjustment without changing the spring compression.
  • Bottom of the shock is threaded to allow height adjustments without having to shorten the suspension travel
  • Rubber dust shield protecting piston for long life
  • Adjustment tools included
  • 1 year warranty against factory defects
<br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Spring rates are as follows:<br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Front springs: 12kg<br style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Rear springs: 10kg
I think you will like them, I did. They aren't anything fancy but they are a great value. The damper adjustment clicks and is 100% street/track functional.

In for your review and comparo to your koni setup, Lee. I personally stand by the notion of "you get what you pay for." Hey, maybe this is an exception.

It's not done yet but my plan is to put the 17s on.
Get a UK alignment.
Do a 1.5 inch drop.

He ordered the Yonaka's... Same ones that Alex (LogicAP2) said he would sell him, but he bought them new.

I will instead just go for lowering springs..

Why don't you buy Alex's? They're the same ones you were trying to buy, he can get them to you ASAP, and he'll sell them for dirt cheap I'm sure. He's already purchased another set of coilovers for next season. I will vouch for Alex all day long.

I considered it but running used suspension parts would make me uneasy. I have Eibach springs on the way.
